Role of astrocytes connexins - pannexins in acute brain injury by Juan E. Tichauer, Maximiliano Rovegno

“…However, after acute brain injury, astrocytes can change their phenotype and modify the activity of both channels and hemichannels, which can result in the amplification of danger signals, increased mediators of inflammation, and neuronal death, contributing to the expansion of brain damage and neurological deterioration. This is known as secondary brain damage. …”

Psychopathology of Time in Brain Disease and Schizophrenia by John Cutting, Herta Silzer

“…A review of the literature on the effect of brain damage revealed that some phenomena (déjà vu, reduplication of time, altered tempo to events) were linked with right hemisphere dysfunction, one phenomenon (incorrect sequencing of events) was linked with left anterior brain damage, and others (disrupted “biological clock”, disturbed serise of rate of flow of current or past events) could arise from subcortical as well as focal cortical damage. …”

Cerebral Perfusion in Chronic Stroke: Implications for Lesion-Symptom Mapping and Functional MRI by Jessica D. Richardson, Julie M. Baker, Paul S. Morgan, Chris Rorden, L. Bonilha, Julius Fridriksson

“…Lesion-symptom mapping studies are based upon the assumption that behavioral impairments are directly related to structural brain damage. Given what is known about the relationship between perfusion deficits and impairment in acute stroke, attributing specific behavioral impairments to localized brain damage leaves much room for speculation, as impairments could also reflect abnormal neurovascular function in brain regions that appear structurally intact on traditional CT and MRI scans. …”

The Case for Musical Instrument Training in Cerebral Palsy for Neurorehabilitation by Ana Alves-Pinto, Varvara Turova, Tobias Blumenstein, Renée Lampe

“…We propose that active musical instrument playing may be an efficient means for triggering neuroplastic processes necessary for the development of sensorimotor skills in patients with early brain damage. We encourage experimental research on neuroplasticity and on its impact on the physical and personal development of individuals with CP.…”

Donald Barthelme’s “Report” and Michal Rovner’s Decoy series, or the Ongoing Art of Telling It Slant by Sandrine Dechaume

“…This article examines how two contemporary artists, American writer Donald Barthelme and Israeli filmmaker and photographer Michal Rovner use overexposure in order to denounce forms of televisual “brain damage.” In Barthelme’s short story, the emphasis is on excess and satire, whereas in Rovner’s Gulf War images, media representations of war are deconstructed through the use of overexposed and blurred imagery.…”
