Rasmussen encephalitis (RE), also called Rasmussen syndrome, is a rare, progressive, chronic encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) affectingone hemisphere (one side) of the brain. It occurs mainly in children (most cases are seen in six to seven-years-old children). Is encephalitis a rare ...
Cytogenetics: This branch of genetics involves the study of the structure of DNA that is found in the nucleus of a cell. Human genetics: It is the study of inheritance in humans such as the human genome and transmission of genes from one generation to another generation. Plant genetics: It...
This method has since been used to study ischemic injury, particularly in the brain[21], as well as in the retina[22–24]. There are several advantages to this method, namely that animal preparation does not require mechanical manipula- tion of vasculature or parenchyma. As well, the lesion...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is the most common cause of dementia and currently has few clinically efficacious disease modifying therapies [1]. In order to develop disease modifying therapies, it is imperative to better understand the mechanisms of disease initiation ...
We have adapted neuroimaging methods to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) noninvasively in humans. We find robust deficits in CVR, and to a lesser extent in CBF, during the chronic stage after TBI, often in areas of normal-looking brain parenchyma. We ...
What are brain ventricles? Overview. The ventricles of the brain area communicating network of cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)and located within the brain parenchyma. The ventricular system is composed of 2 lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, the cerebral aqueduct, and the fourth...
Cells in humans and animals vary greatly in size. The smallest cells in the human body are sperm cells and the granule cell of the cerebellum. Some neurons, or nerve cells, may grow as long as several feet long and extend from the limbs to thespinal cordto the brain. ...

in cellular and animal models. These studies show that the amount and type of Aβ in the brain has significant consequences on neural function. However, there have been significant difficulties in the conversion of these findings into successful treatments in humans. In this review we concentrate ...
signals that have been implicated in liver regeneration include fibroblast growth factors 7 (FGF-7)64and 15 (FGF-15; FGF-19 in humans)65and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7)66. There is likely a redundancy between different signaling pathways, and not all components have been identified67...
