One of the major obstacles to the effective treatment of neurological disorders ranging from brain tumours to neurodegenerative diseases is the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which regulates the passage of molecules from the circulation into the central nervous system.
Australia's Medicare Benefits Schedule contains around 6,000 items ranging from brain surgery to treatment for a common cold.
Migration is required in response to injury or infection and excessive or impaired migration leads to pathologies ranging from brain defects, to vascular disease, inflammation and cancer [1].
Such patients have a spectrum of outcomes, ranging from brain death to good recovery.
Deficiencies in iron, iodine, zinc, and vitamins can cause problems ranging from brain damage to blindness, anaemia, and stunted growth.
Here, we investigated how different time windows of axon growth would affect morphological, topological and spatial properties of short-range brain connectivity during early development.
This experimental design also allowed us to investigate whether there is a relationship between hippocampal theta and cortical, particularly PFC, function, as would be predicted if hippocampal theta is relevant for co-ordinating long-range brain activity.
Nevertheless, those one-handers who more frequently use their residual (handless) arm for typically bimanual daily tasks also showed more symmetrical functional connectivity of the hand region, demonstrating that adaptive behaviour drives long-range brain organisation.
The coral was fabulous, of course, with shapes ranging from brain-like to branchy to spiky - and all in beautiful, iridescent colours.
Assuming that the extravascular component contains white matter two different ADC values ranges for brain tissue were used Dbrain = [2.46×10−4 mm2/s, 5.23×10−4 mm2/s] (radial) and [1.51×10−3 mm2/s, 1.83×10−3 mm2/s] (parallel) [32].
