Chemokines and Brain Functions
Current Drug Target -Inflammation & Allergy, 2005Chemokines are small secreted proteins that chemoattract and activate immune and non-immune cells both in vivo and in vitro. Besides their well-established role in the immune system, several recent reports have suggested that chemokines and their receptors may also play a role in the central nervous system (CNS).

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2013
The purpose of this study is to highlight recent research findings that advance our understanding of the relation between iron status and neural functioning.Recent findings have helped to answer questions pertaining to the interrelationship of iron and neural functioning in three primary areas: reversibility of changes occurring with early-life iron ...

Cognitive Brain Research, 2001
An outline of how the brain may compute is proposed. In the cerebral cortex memories are stored through long-term potentiation at synapses from layer 1 cortical inputs (representing contexts) on layer 2/3 pyramidal cells linked with the thalamus in a cortico-thalamic (CT) unit. The signals which are memorized are the layer 3 inputs from the thalamus or

Abstract Plasma and testicular testosterone levels can fluctuate rapidly under the influence of C.N.S. events. Both acute and chronic stress, as well as sexual satiety, will reduce testicular function in rodents whereas sexual excitation will increase it.

The mechanobiology of brain function
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2012All cells are influenced by mechanical forces. In the brain, force-generating and load-bearing proteins twist, turn, ratchet, flex, compress, expand and bend to mediate neuronal signalling and plasticity. Although the functions of mechanosensitive proteins have been thoroughly described in classical sensory systems, the effects of endogenous mechanical

Functional imaging of the brain
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1987The radionuclide tracer method is unique amongst all other imaging methodologies in its ability to trace organ or tissue function and metabolism. It derives this advantage from the nature of the signal used for image generation, and its single interaction with the organ or system under examination.

Functional Modules of the Brain
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2002Building on the view of massive modularity, a number of generalized assumptions lead to an entirely new concept of functional brain modules. In contrast to the nerve centers usually considered to be active in the brain, these modules, called symbions, are non-localized, non-hierarchical, and based on subcellular molecular mechanisms rather than on ...

Observations on the Functions of the Brain
The New England Journal of Medicine, Surgery and Collateral Branches of ScienceAbstract The observations comprised in this paper, are selected from those cases of injury to the brain which have occurred to the author in the course of his professional pursuits. The facts thus accidentally forced upon his notice, may be regarded as so many experiments made on different portions of the living brain; and the remarks

Functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI is a means by which dynamic processes in the body can be imaged. The ability to measure real time processes exists thanks to technological advances in the system hardware and the imaging techniques inherent in MRI itself.
