Of the brain, by the brain, and for the brain
Neurology, 2018Circa 400 bc, Hippocrates made the first postulate regarding the origin of all human emotion and declared, “Men ought to know that from the brain, and from the brain only, arise our pleasures, joy, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs, and tears.”1 How does a barrage of action potentials, cascading down a neuron, accomplish these ...

Neurology, 2011 Over the past half-century, insights from research have repeatedly rekindled our curiosity about how the structure of the brain relates to the process of thinking. For example, we now appreciate the importance of the synaptic connections that fill the pink stuff we used to call “neuropil” on brain histologic sections1 and the role of selective neuronal

Sleep is of the brain, by the brain and for the brain
Nature, 2005Sleep is a widespread biological phenomenon, and its scientific study is proceeding at multiple levels at the same time. Marked progress is being made in answering three fundamental questions: what is sleep, what are its mechanisms and what are its functions?

The Eleventh Marcel Grossmann Meeting, 2008
The rotational component of the CMB polarization, the so-called B-modes, is one of the major topic for next generation CMB experiments. This signal traces the effect on the CMB due to primordial gravitational waves produced during the inflationary epoch, probing the physics of the very early universe at GUT energy scales. This is a challenge, being the

Neuroscience Letters, 2009
It has been implicitly understood that culture and music as collective products of human brain in turn influence the brain itself. Now, imaging and anatomical data add substance to this notion. The impact of playing piano on the brain of musicians and its possible effects on cultural and neurological evolution are briefly discussed.

Journal of Child Neurology, 2012
For the past 50 years, the medical profession has understood ‘‘brain death’’ to represent the endpoint of a neuropathologic vicious cycle. An initial major brain injury sets off a mutually exacerbating cascade of cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, and decreased cerebral blood flow, which advances beyond some point-of-no-return to a state ...

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2006
Functional brain imaging with positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging has been used extensively to map regional changes in brain activity. The signal used by both techniques is based on changes in local circulation and metabolism (brain work).

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2003
AbstractThe aims of the present study were to investigate whether the processing of an object shadow occurs implicitly, that is without conscious awareness, and where physically within the human brain shadows are processed. Here we present neurological evidence, obtained from studies of brain-injured patients with visual neglect, that shadows are ...

Brain Plasticity in the Developing Brain
2013The developing normal brain shows a remarkable capacity for plastic change in response to a wide range of experiences including sensory and motor experience, psychoactive drugs, parent-child relationships, peer relationships, stress, gonadal hormones, intestinal flora, diet, and injury.
