Structural abnormalities of the thalamus in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2011-08-01)
Studies have suggested that the thalamus is a key structure in the pathophysiology of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. The objective of the present investigation was to examine the thalami of patients with juvenile myoclonic ...
The anatomical connections of the macaque monkey orbitofrontal cortex. A review
(2000-03-01)
The orbitofrontal cortex (OfC) is a heterogeneous prefrontal sector selectively connected with a wide constellation of other prefrontal, limbic, sensory and premotor areas. Among the limbic cortical connections, the ones ...
Bilateral anterior thalamic nucleus lesions and high-frequency stimulation are protective against pilocarpine-induced seizures and status epilepticus
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2004-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: the thalamus is thought to play an important role in secondary generalization of seizures. the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of anterior thalamic nucleus lesions and high-frequency ...
Germinoma localizado nos núcleos da base e tálamo com invasão do tronco cerebral: relato de caso
(Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 1998-09-01)
We report an unusual case of germinoma arising from the basal ganglia and thalamus with brain stem invasion, with emphasis on computed tomography and magnetic resonance findings. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic ...
Long-Term Effects of Anterior Thalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation on Spatial Learning in the Pilocarpine Model of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
(Wiley, 2018)
Introduction and ObjectivesCognitive impairment is a significant comorbidity of temporal lobe epilepsy that is associated with extensive hippocampal cell loss. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior thalamic nucleus ...
Schwanoma intracerebral talâmico: relato de caso
(Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2002-06-01)
The intracranial schwannomas cover about 8% of all the brain tumors, although, those localized inside the encephalic parenchyma are rare only 55 cases being reported in the literature. The histhopatologic diagnosis is based ...
Bilateral Anterior Thalamic Nucleus Lesions Are Not Protective against Seizures in Chronic Pilocarpine Epileptic Rats
(Karger, 2009-01-01)
Aims: To investigate whether anterior thalamic nucleus (AN) lesions are protective against spontaneous recurrent seizures in the chronic phase of the pilocarpine model of epilepsy. Methods: Two groups of rats were treated ...
Role of adenosine in the antiepileptic effects of deep brain stimulation
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-10-02)
Despite the effectiveness of anterior thalamic nucleus (AN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of epilepsy, mechanisms responsible for the antiepileptic effects of this therapy remain elusive. As adenosine ...
Commissural nucleus of the solitary tract regulates the antihypertensive effects elicited by moxonidine
(2013-10-01)
The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) contains the presympathetic neurons involved in cardiovascular regulation that has been implicated as one of the most important central sites for the antihypertensive action of ...
On a dual role for clonidine stimulation of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus in sodium and potassium renal excretions of rats
(1996-11-01)
The effects of clonidine on sodium and potassium excretions were examined after previous administration of prazosin (an α 1-adrenergic receptor antagonist) and yohimbine (an α 2-adrenergic receptor antagonist) into the ...
