Protective effects of carotenoids from saffron on neuronal injury in vitro and in vivo.
Protective effect of Toki-shakuyaku-san on amyloid beta25-35-induced neuronal damage in cultured rat cortical neurons.
High-density optical fiber arrays would offer more, and thinner, probes for neuronal exploration than bulky electrodes.
If (2) is correct, then treating the amyloid will not treat the pathway leading to neuronal death.
FORBES: Mt. Sinai Researcher On Why Alzheimer's Theory Critics Are Wrong
Finally, the causal mechanism petitioners proposed would produce, not ASD, but neuronal death, and eventually patient death as well.
FORBES: Vaccine Court Ruling: Thimerosal Does Not Cause Autism
If we can stop this cycle, we could slow or stop the progression of the neuronal component of this disease.
The guy studying neuronal stem cells soon became the guy studying Spanish and training to become one of the few family physicians in his class.
Targacept's drug is designed to bind to the same regulators in the nervous system that react to nicotine, the so-called neuronal nicotinic receptors, or nnrs.
Using mice as subjects, the team found that the more lactate was present in certain areas (lactate is a product of neuronal activity), the more amyloid-beta peptide was also present.
FORBES: Wandering into Alzheimer's: Could Your Thoughts Reduce Your Risk?
So, the thinking goes, when something depressing happens to a chronically stressed or anxious person, his brain is unable to bounce back by creating new neurons and neuronal circuits signaling better times ahead.
In Pleistocene hunter-gatherer terms, the design community in Portland is more like a clan (100-200 members), small, but large enough for the neuronal effects described by Dr. Bargmann in the roundworm to take effect.
FORBES: Portland on the Brain: the Small City as Scale Model
Targacept's pill is more refined, he says, because it binds with a subtype of neuronal nicotinic receptor situated mostly in parts of the brain that process sensory information and aid in learning and short-term memory.
Analysis of the brains of the euthanized rats revealed decreased levels of Fos, a protein marker of neuronal activity, in the amygdala region of the brain while the olfactory signals appeared to block fear responses.
The artificial retina is composed by neuronal photoreceptors, called cones and rods, which capture light signals and transform them in electrical signals, transferring them to the retinal ganglion cells and, through the optic nerve, to the brain.
These are easy to grow in culture, so Dr Gage and Dr Tuszynski remove some from their experimental animals, add a few new genes to encourage them to make neuronal growth factors, and then let them multiply.
