Complexity and the Nervous System

Science, 1999
Advances in the neurosciences have revealed the staggering complexity of even “simple” nervous systems. This is reflected in their function, their evolutionary history, their structure, and the coding schemes they use to represent information. These four viewpoints need all play a role in any future science of “brain complexity.”

GANGLIOSIDES IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Neurochemistry International, 1983
Gangliosides, sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids, are embedded in neural plasma membranes to provide cell surface recognition sites with negative charges. Exogenous ligands such as bacterial toxins, hormones, growth factors, antibodies, viruses, and interferons bind to specific gangliosides to induce sequential activations of cellular ...

Vasculitis of the nervous system

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2004
Vasculitis refers to heterogeneous clinicopathologic disorders that share the histopathology of inflammation of blood vessels. When unrecognized and therefore untreated, vasculitis of the nervous system leads to pervasive injury and disability making this a disorder of paramount importance to all clinicians.Remarkable progress has been made in the ...

Inflammation in the nervous system

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1995
Earlier studies on inflammation in the CNS have largely focused on conditions with an immune component. Recent evidence has emerged, however, that the innate, acute inflammatory response in the CNS parenchyma is quite unlike that in other tissues. The meninges and ventricular compartments show more typical responses, as does the parenchyma of the brain

Kinesins in the nervous system

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 1999
Both the development and the maintenance of neurons require a great deal of active cytoplasmic transport. Much of this transport is driven by microtubule motor proteins. Membranous organelles and other macromolecular assemblies bind motor proteins that then use cycles of adenosine 5'-triphosphate hydrolysis to move these 'cargoes' along microtubules ...

TUBULIN IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Neurochemistry International, 1982
In the mammalian brain, tubulin is the major protein and microtubules are major organelles. Neurite outgrowth, axoplasmic transport and synaptic function are thought to be dependent upon microtubule integrity. Studies of microtubule structure and function relationship, and the control mechanism of tubulin expression shed light on more complicated ...

Aging in the nervous system

Neurosurgery, 1985
This review of the effects of aging on the nervous system covers functional changes, such as slowing of reaction time; behavioral and psychological changes; physiological changes in the brain; and pathological changes. The author discusses the sensory processes in relation to the neurological examination.

Proteomics of the nervous system

Trends in Neurosciences, 2001
The recent success of large-scale industrialized genomic sequencing opens new doors in studies of biological systems. In the current post-genomic era we must ask how to translate this DNA sequence information into an understanding of living cells, tissues and organisms.
