The Brain The brain is the most important and most complex organ within the human body The brain controls all thoughts and processes in the body including movement (both voluntary and involuntary), behavior, the senses, and one;s intelligence. The...
Unfortunately, the dopamine concentrations to which these immune cells would be exposed in different anatomical regions are not clear. To address this issue, this comprehensive review details the current information regarding concentrations of dopamine found in both the central nervous system and in many...
overall patterning of forebrain and hindbrain domains. Clones across neocortically derived cells were consistent with a dual origin from both dorsal and ventral cellular populations, similar to rodents, whereas the microglia lineage appeared distinct from other resident brain cells. Our data provide a c...
This is the signal that passes via the paraventricular nucleus (although with some controversy), hindbrain, spinal cord, and superior cervical ganglion, and reaches pinealocytes at the level of membrane noradrenergic receptors (although astrocytes and microglia have also been r...
(CGRP), HK-1 and SP. These molecules could either stimulate thalamic nociceptive neurons directly, or via stimulation of microglia in the diencephalon. As a result, inhibiting mast cell stimulation could be used as a novel approach for reducing pain and the symptoms of FMS,” states the Pub...
Physical therapy is also an important part of treatment, though it should be noted that many patients are incapable of participating in physical therapy due to subsequent muscular and bone problems. People struggling with CRPS often develop guarding behaviors where they avoid using or touching the af...

have been quite promising (Chaudhry et al., 2012). We now need to work out whyminocyclineworks. It may be that some patients with schizophrenia have latent infections but this seems unlikely. Minocycline has a range of effects onmicroglia, glutamate systems and onneuroinflammation, any of which...
Figure 1. Levels of stem cell differentiation potential: Totipotent stem cells possess the highest potential, as they can generate all cell types in the body, including those found in embryos and supportive tissues such as the placenta. Pluripotent stem cells are slightly more specialized and can ...
The two definitions of “stress” from the Oxford Language Dictionary are: “pressure or tension exerted on a material object” and “a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances”. In medicine, Hans Selye was the first scientist to define ‘...
