A Review: Inflammatory Process in Alzheimer's Disease, Role of Cytokines by Jose Miguel Rubio-Perez, Juana Maria Morillas-Ruiz

“…An important factor in the onset of inflammatory process is the overexpression of interleukin (IL)-1, which produces many reactions in a vicious circle that cause dysfunction and neuronal death. Other important cytokines in neuroinflammation are IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. …”

Use of functional magnetic resonance imaging in patients with irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia by Katarzyna Skrobisz, Grażyna Piotrowicz, Adrianna Drozdowska, Karolina Markiet, Agnieszka Sabisz, Patrycja Naumczyk, Grażyna Rydzewska, Edyta Szurowska

“…The results of studies in patient groups with irritable bowel syndrome prove that psychosocial factors significantly affect the mechanisms regulating visceral sensitivity within the brain. The BGA includes neuronal pathways (autonomic nervous system), neuroendocrine (hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis), and neuroimmunological ones. …”

Radial and Sigmoid Basis Function Neural Networks in Wireless Sensor Routing Topology Control in Underground Mine Rescue Operation Based on Particle Swarm Optimization by Mary Opokua Ansong, Hong-Xing Yao, Jun Steed Huang

“…Particle swarm optimisation with adaptive mutation was used to train the neurons. Computer simulation results showed that the neural network learning algorithm minimized the error between the neural network output and the desired output such that final error values were either the same as the error goal or less than the error goal. …”

A formação do leitor principiante: uma reflexão sobre o todo e as partes no processo de alfabetização by Tania Mikaela Garcia Roberto

“…O artigo explora o aspecto cognitivo da leitura quanto às etapas anteriores à relação grafêmico-fonêmica, especificamente no que diz respeito ao reconhecimento das letras e ao necessário processo de dissimetrização para a leitura (reciclagem neuronal), enfatiza a importância da via fonológica de leitura durante o processo de alfabetização, apresenta as diferentes relações entre grafemas e fonemas presentes no sistema alfabético do Português Brasileiro (PB) e destaca o imprescindível desenvolvimento da consciência fonêmica como caminho para minimizar os problemas de alfabetização que se estendem ao longo da formação do leitor em séries finais da Educação Básica.…”

Hsp70 and Its Molecular Role in Nervous System Diseases by Giuseppina Turturici, Gabriella Sconzo, Fabiana Geraci

“…Hsp70 functions as a chaperone and protects neurons from protein aggregation and toxicity (Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, polyglutamine diseases, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), protects cells from apoptosis (Parkinson disease), is a stress marker (temporal lobe epilepsy), protects cells from inflammation (cerebral ischemic injury), has an adjuvant role in antigen presentation and is involved in the immune response in autoimmune disease (multiple sclerosis). …”

HIV, smoking, and the brain: a convergence of neurotoxicities by Benjamin L. Orlinick, Shelli F. Farhadian

“…Some mechanisms for neurotoxicity include increased oxidative stress from microglial activation and dysfunction in the alpha7- nAChR cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway leading to increased neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis. Mechanisms may vary by cell type and brain region, however, and there is a need for more human-facing, longitudinal studies on smoking in PWH.…”

Spinal NGF Restores Opioid Sensitivity in Neuropathic Rats: Possible Role of NGF as a Regulator of CCK-Induced Anti-Opioid Effects by Catherine M Cahill, Terence J Coderre

“…The authors hypothesize that NGF is critical in maintaining neurochemical homeostasis in the spinal cord of nociceptive neurons, and that supplementation may be beneficial in restoring and/or maintaining opioid analgesia in chronic pain conditions resulting from traumatic nerve injury.…”

Strategies to innovate emergency care of status epilepticus by Jaideep Kapur

“…Generalized Convulsive status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency because prolonged convulsions can cause respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Compromised GABA-mediated inhibition is a defining feature of SE, and many current therapies are benzodiazepines, which are allosteric modulators of GABA-A receptors. …”

Regeneration of Zebrafish CNS: Adult Neurogenesis by Sukla Ghosh, Subhra Prakash Hui

“…Injury induced proliferation involves radial glia which proliferate, transcribe embryonic genes, and can give rise to new neurons. Recent technological development of exquisite molecular tools in zebrafish, such as cell ablation, lineage analysis, and novel and substantial microarray, together with advancement in stem cell biology, allowed us to investigate how progenitor cells contribute to the generation of appropriate structures and various underlying mechanisms like reprogramming.…”
