The delusional dimension of anorexia nervosa: phenomenological, neurobiological and clinical perspectives
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2018)
Background: Delusional characteristics have been largely ignored in patients suffering from anorexia nervosa ( AN). Objectives: To review the literature on delusional features in AN from phenomenological, neurobiological, ...
A Neurobiological Model for Near-Death Experiences
(Human Sciences Press, 1989)
The authors present a neurobiological model for near-death
experiences (NDEs) in an attempt to correlate the biological and psychological
domains. This model is based on temporal lobe dysfunction, hypoxia/ischemia,
stress, ...
Sergey Fedoroff: A Pioneer of the Neuronal Regeneration. Tribute from the Pan American Association of Anatomy
(Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía, 2015)
Sergey Fedoroff (1925-2012) is considered the father of tissue culture because of his important findings and
contributions. He was president of several societies, such as the Pan American Association of Anatomy
A Neurobiological Model lor Near-Death Experiences. 11:The Problem 01 Recall 01 Real
(IANDS, 1994-07-25)
In this article we propose a scientific approach to explain the
fact that some near-death experiencers (NDErs) are able to recollect and
verbalize real events occurring in the environment during the experience.
Our model ...
Neurobiology of navigation and learning: Fourth dimension cartography
(Science Publishing, 2018)
The present article sheds light on new representations of learning. The proposition deals with a representation of learning in four dimensions, in which the highlight is on the navigation across space as a new perspective ...
Electroconvulsive Therapy in Psychiatric Disorders: A Narrative Review Exploring Neuroendocrine–Immune Therapeutic Mechanisms and Clinical Implications
(Suiza, 2022-06-22)
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is based on conducting an electrical current through the brain to stimulate it and trigger generalized convulsion activity with therapeutic ends. Due to the efficient use of ECT during the ...
Autophagy meets fused in sarcoma-positive stress granules
(Elsevier, 2014)
Mutations in fused in sarcoma and/or translocated in liposarcoma (FUS, TLS or FUS) are linked to familial
cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mutant FUS selectively accumulates into discrete cytosolic
structures ...
Effect of early malnutrition on dynamic properties of axodendritic synapses in the rat prefrontal cortex
(1985)
The influence of early protein–calorie malnutrition on synaptic transmission in the rat prefrontal cortex was studied by evoking direct cortical responses with different trains of threshold electrical pulses. Malnutrition ...
Decision-making neural circuits mediating social behaviors: an attractor network model
(Springer, 2017-06-29)
We propose a mathematical model of a continuous attractor network that controls social behaviors. The model is examined with bifurcation analysis and computer simulations. The results show that the model exhibits stable ...
Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation as a pivot in drug abuse. A focus on the therapeutic potential of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents and biomolecules
(MDPI, 2020)
Drug abuse is a major global health and economic problem. However, there are no pharmacological treatments to effectively reduce the compulsive use of most drugs of abuse. Despite exerting different mechanisms of action, ...
