The phrase "alteration of brain function" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes or modifications in how the brain operates, often in medical, psychological, or neurological discussions.
Example: "The study focused on the alteration of brain function due to prolonged exposure to stress."
Alternatives: "change in brain activity" or "modification of brain processes."
However, only a few studies [ 5- 7] reported alteration of brain function activity during resting state in chronic smokers.
The lack of difference in physiological characteristics (hematocrit and blood glucose levels) between the AN-R and AN-BP groups suggests that some alteration of brain function may be occuring in patients with AN-R.
Thus, our working hypothesis is that maternal stress-induced changes in TLR4 signaling enhance the effects of a chemical exposure such as DEP, likely involving the maternal placental fetal interface (Auten et al. 2009, 2012), and ultimately converging onto microglia within the fetal brain, resulting in the long-term alteration of brain function and behavior.
Epileptic seizures and headache attacks are two common neurologic phenomena characterized by paroxysmal alteration of brain functions followed by complete restauration of the baseline condition.
Therefore, this study adds to our knowledge of pain-induced alterations of brain function.
Although the pathogenesis of HE is still incompletely elucidated, the ammonia hypothesis remain central [ 10] and a large number of experimental data support the role of hyperammonemia in the direct and indirect alterations of brain function that characterize HE [ 11].
Since animals do not behave during measurements (they have to be sufficiently, albeit lightly, anaesthetised within the scanner), imaging differences can be attributed to genetically induced alterations of brain function.
The aim of the present study was to examine the feasibility of EEG wavelet information quality measures (EEG-IQ) in monitoring alterations of brain functions as well as to determine the differential rate of recovery between the first and second concussive episodes.
Genetic factors have been identified [ 12], probably producing alterations in catecholaminergic regulation of brain function in frontosubcortical pathways [ 13, 14].
Moreover, several psychoactive drugs produce blood pressure changes and alterations in respiratory frequency that may perturb central haemodynamic readouts of brain function.
TBI is defined as traumatically induced physiological disruption of brain function, as manifested by loss of consciousness, memory impairment, alteration of mental state, and/or focal neurological deficits.
