Reconstructing anatomy from electro physiological data
(Elsevier, 2017)
Here we show how it is possible to make estimates of brain structure based on MEG data. We do this by reconstructing functional estimates onto distorted cortical manifolds parameterised in terms of their spherical harmonics. ...
p53 is required for brain growth but is dispensable for resistance to nutrient restriction during Drosophila larval development
(Public Library Science, 2018)
Background
Animal growth is influenced by the genetic background and the environmental circumstances. How genes promote growth and coordinate adaptation to nutrient availability is still an open question. p53 is a ...
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a fundamental fatty acid for the brain: new dietary sources
(Elsevier, 2017)
Docosahexaenoic acid (C22: 6n-3, DHA) is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid of marine origin fundamental for the formation and function of the nervous system, particularly the brain and the retina of humans. It has ...
Muerte encefálica, bioética y trasplante de órganos
(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2004-01)
The concept of death has evolved medically, legally and culturally since the introduction of life support technologies in the middle of the 20th century. The traditional cardiopulmonary and the new neurologically based ...
The effects of gold nanoparticles functionalized with ß-amyloid specific peptides on an in vitro model of blood–brain barrier
(Elsevier Inc., 2017)
© 2017 Elsevier Inc. We studied the effect of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) size, surface charge, concentration and morphology on the integrity of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) in a well-established in vitro model set-up. We ...
The effects of gold nanoparticles functionalized with beta-amyloid specific peptides on an in vitro model of blood–brain barrier
(Elsevier, 2017)
We studied the effect of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) size, surface charge, concentration and morphology on the integrity of the blood–brain
barrier (BBB) in a well-established in vitro model set-up. We focused on the effect ...
Synthesis and expression of functional angiotensin II receptors in Xenopus oocytes injected with rat brain mRNA.
(1987)
Xenopus laevis oocytes were injected with poly(A)+ mRNA isolated from rat brain and superfused in a medium containing either serotonin, angiotensin II or bradykinin. Applications of serotonin or angiotensin II to injected ...
Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptors and Alzheimer's Disease: Hitting the Blood–Brain Barrier
(Springer, 2013)
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is often affected
in several neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's
disease (AD). Integrity and proper functionality of the
neurovascular unit are recognized to be critical for ...
Neurological Complications Associated with the Blood-Brain Barrier Damage Induced by the Inflammatory Response During SARS-CoV-2 Infection
(Springer, 2020)
The main discussion above of the novel pathogenic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has focusedon the immediate risks and impact on the respiratory system; however, the effects induced ...
Diagnóstico de Muerte
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2004-01)
This paper undertakes an analysis of the scientific criteria used in
the diagnosis of death and underscores the importance of intellectual rigor in the definition of
medical concepts, particularly regarding such a critical ...
