Chronic excessive erythrocytosis induces endothelial activation and damage in mouse brain

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2006
Excessive erythrocytosis results in severely increased blood viscosity, which may have significant detrimental effects on endothelial cells and, ultimately, function of the vascular endothelium. Because blood-brain barrier stability is crucial for normal physiological function, we used our previously characterized erythropoietin-overexpressing ...

Contributions of the left and right hemisphere in language: investigating the effects of unilateral brain damage (stroke) on metaphor processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is widely accepted that the left hemisphere of the brain is specialised and dominant for language comprehension and production and that those with left hemisphere damage often display profound language disruption (Geschwind, 1965).

Pattern of injury with a graded excitotoxic insult and ensuing chronic medial septal damage in the rat brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Brain damage caused by an acute injury depends on the initial severity of the injury and the time elapsed after the injury. To determine whether these two variables activate common mechanisms, we compared the response of the rat medial septum to insult ...

Protective Effects of Crocus Sativus L. Extract and Crocin against Chronic-Stress Induced Oxidative Damage of Brain, Liver and Kidneys in Rats [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2014
Purpose: Chronic stress has been reported to induce oxidative damage of the brain. A few studies have shown that Crocus Sativus L., commonly known as saffron and its active constituent crocin may have a protective effect against oxidative stress.

Effects of acute and chronic oxidative stress on the blood–brain barrier in 2D and 3D in vitro models

open access: yesFluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2022
Oxidative stress is a shared pathology of neurodegenerative disease and brain injuries, and is derived from perturbations to normal cell processes by aging or environmental factors such as UV exposure and air pollution.

White matter damage and cognitive impairment after traumatic brain injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
White matter disruption is an important determinant of cognitive impairment after brain injury, but conventional neuroimaging underestimates its extent.

Neurological consequences of traumatic brain injuries in sports. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in boxing and other contact sports. The long term irreversible and progressive aftermath of TBI in boxers depicted as punch drunk syndrome was described almost a century ago and is now widely referred as chronic ...

The prognosis of allocentric and egocentric neglect : evidence from clinical scans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We contrasted the neuroanatomical substrates of sub-acute and chronic visuospatial deficits associated with different aspects of unilateral neglect using computed tomography scans acquired as part of routine clinical diagnosis.
