New Frontiers in the Rehabilitation of Neurological Damage
Epidemiologic data show a high incidence of central nervous system (CNS) disease, which therefore is a prominent healthcare issue. Adults and the elderly are most commonly affected, with heavy repercussions on society and caregivers. The outcome of CNS disease, whether the etiology is vascular, degenerative or traumatic, is often significant disability or death. Motor, language and cognitive deficits are most prevalent, but vision is also frequently affected, in the form of visual field defects or oculomotor and binocular disorders. In the present paper, we discuss peripheral and central visual field defects.
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.
The multi-domain protein Piccolo is a versatile scaffolding protein with pleiotropic functions in the brain
The human brain is a complex network of billions of neurons accompanied by astrocytes and microglia among others [1]. Neurons communicate via specialized sites of cell-cell contacts called synapses, where information is transmitted via the presynaptic release of neurotransmitter from synaptic vesicles (SVs) [2]. Through the integration of information transmitted via large networks of neurons, complex tasks, such as learning, memory and various behaviors, are regulated.
Commentary on “A global provision of preventive oral health measures for children with special needs: A scoping review”
The scoping review titled "A Global Provision of Preventive Oral Health Measures for Children with Special Needs" provides a comprehensive exploration of the preventive oral health measures available for children with special health care needs (CSHCN) and the barriers to their implementation.
