It is possible that localized breakdown of the blood-brain barrier could increase local brain levels of selective growth factors and thus contribute to the wound healing process.
According to previous results, local brain cooling could reduce infarction volume while traumatic brain injury occurs.
Local brain cooling is a way to treat traumatic brain injury and prevent secondary brain injury.
Differences in the physical environment impact behavior only by inducing differences in local brain states.
They eavesdropped on local brain signals when the owl monkey moved its arm.
Similarly, our results show that local brain cooling caused oxy-hemoglobin, the tissue oxygen saturation and CPP increase and ICP decreased.
Currently there are also new techniques for forming optical images of local brain activity, using voltage sensitive dyes (VSD).
Although some peripheral clocks have established roles [1], it is unclear what local brain clocks do [2, 3].
Positron emission tomography (PET) combined with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), a specific radiotracer for glucose metabolism, indicates glucose uptake by astrocytes and neurons [9] and reveals local brain activity.
This may assure the maintenance of local brain blood flow within normal limits as the cerebral circulation requires high and constant flow.
The aim of this study is to explore the change of hemoglobin during local brain cooling after traumatic brain injury, and assess the treatment effect by using the wireless near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) system.
