Dexmedetomidine’s influence on autophagy and its possible link to the cholinergic anti-Inflammatory pathway
Anesthesia and surgical interventions may induce cognitive impairments, such as postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) [1]. These dysfunctions particularly affect the elderly population [2] and increase morbidity and mortality thus representing a major burden for the healthcare system [1].
Neurobiological and physiological aspects of disease: Brain as a key with multiple links, a new medical hypothesis
This editorial is a trial to open future research in the importance of neurobiology of diseases. We think that the potential of having links between some diseases and brain has been previously indicated, but it may be still underestimated.Previous studies reported the axis of brain and heart, brain and intestine. The reality of the problem is not well addressed on molecular basis. In other words, it is not enough to think or point out to possible existence of such a link.
Mirror Mirror on the Brain; Tell me What do they feel Mirror Neurons; The Neural Wi-Fi system for Affect Sharing
During an action observation (AO) and action execution, specific group of neural substrates are activated. They provide a neural mechanism for understanding the actions of others called as mirror neurons (MNs). They also carry out motor grounding, motion ersatz, language and emotion appreciation. Mirror neurons discharge not only throughout the self-experience of pain but also during the perception of other people’s pain.
Electronic adjuvants to understand and modulate the brain
Different computational models and new devices are under development, aiming to better comprehend and alter brain function. Ternary computating offers new approach by considering a third physiological state of the neuronal membrane: the refractory period (-1), in addition to resting potential state (0) and the action potential.
MicroRNA silencing: A promising therapy for Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a global health crisis currently afflicting ~6 million Americans (and ~40 million people worldwide). By the middle of the century, these numbers will stagger by ~16 million Americans (and ~152 million people worldwide) suffering from AD, if breakthrough disease-modifying treatments are not discovered.
