Brain region distribution and patterns of bioaccumulative perfluoroalkyl carboxylates and sulfonates in East Greenland polar bears (Ursus maritimus)
The present study investigated the comparative accumulation of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in eight brain regions of polar bears (Ursus maritimus, n = 19) collected in 2006 from Scoresby Sound, East Greenland. The PFAAs studied were perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs, C6–C15 chain lengths) and sulfonates (C4, C6, C8, and C10 chain lengths) as well as selected precursors including ...

New Research Shows tVNS deactivates Tinnitus related brain regions ?
From the ear to the brain Tinnitus is a condition where one hears or perceives a sound without any external sound stimulus, it is commonly experienced as a high pitched ringing or buzzing. As tinnitus is experienced as a phantom sound it was initially thought to arise from the ear, however, recent research has shown that perception and generation are often linked to specific brain regions. A ...

Can We Predict Treatment Success in tVNS?
Predicting Treatment Success Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has recently emerged as a promising treatment for depression and an effective mood enhancer, showing benefits over similar treatments including traditional vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) which is invasive and costly. tVNS targets the auricular branch of the vagus nerve and works by applying a small electrical stimulation ...

Construction and Culture Protocol of Neural Stem Cells Protocol
Because neural stem cells (NSCs) have the potential of self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation, the method of suspended neural bulb culture can be used to obtain and study. After processing the embryonic brain tissue into a single cell, only the cells with the ability of self-renewal can be cloned and proliferated into a suspended nerve ball in the culture medium, and with the progress ...

The Vagus Nerve - What is it and why is it so important to our health?
Key points The vagus nerve controls many unconscious processes in the body The vagus neural network interfaces with inflammatory, mood and pain regulation. This can be utilised for its neuromodulatory effect in activating restorative pathways. The vagus nerve has been called the ‘great wandering protector’ of the body, it’s made up of an intricate neural network that ...

Nature: Why do you just want to lie down when you get sick?
When we feel uncomfortable, we tend to eat less, drink less, and exercise less. This is not unique to humans—most animals reduce these three behaviors when fighting infection. Recently, a new study pinpoints clusters of neurons that control these responses (uncomfortable behavior). By provoking immune responses in mice, the researchers demonstrated that specific cell populations in the ...

How Is Frontotemporal Dementia Different From Alzheimer`s?
People living with frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, are commonly misdiagnosed with psychiatric disorders or Alzheimer’s disease and other causes of dementia, such as Parkinson’s disease and vascular dementia. While frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer’s disease can both cause dementia, there are distinct differences in impacted regions of the brain and, consequently, ...

Chemyx Syringe Pumps in Neuroscience Research
Introduction The classical field of neuroscience entails biological or psychological investigation of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and the systemic network of sensory nerve cells called neurons.1 Traditionally, this field comprised of purely biological studies but has since flourished into an interdisciplinary sphere addressing the developmental, physiological, ...

What are brain networks?
There is no such thing as unimportant, or non-eloquent, brain. For decades, neuroscientists and clinicians have studied the brain attempting to pinpoint the regions that control specific functions. This is the age old question of ‘What part of the brain is responsible for ___?’ For clinicians, this assists in determining where the source of certain disorders may originate and ...

Spatial profiling of chromatin accessibility in mouse and human tissues
Abstract Cellular function in tissue is dependent on the local environment, requiring new methods for spatial mapping of biomolecules and cells in the tissue context1. The emergence of spatial transcriptomics has enabled genome-scale gene expression mapping2,3,4,5, but the ability to capture spatial epigenetic information of tissue at the cellular level and genome scale is lacking. Here we ...

Intracranial Neoplasms: The Evolution of Radiotherapies
CURRENT STANDARD OF CARE FOR BRAIN TUMORS The current initial standard of care for aggressive brain tumors—whether they are primary brain tumors (ie, tumors that originate in the brain), or metastatic tumors from cancers that started outside of the brain—is resection. After surgery, a follow-up treatment, also referred to as adjuvant treatment, is often recommended to help eliminate ...

The 7-Steps to Recuperation from Stroke Arm Paralysis
About two-thirds of those that experience arm paralysis after stroke are unable to fully use their affected limb six months after stroke (1-3). Not having a fully functional arm and hand after a stroke is not only frustrating but also devastating to many individuals. Day-to-day operations and activities of daily living become more difficult, take longer to complete, and may require assistance ...

How to treat Depression without medication: What the Science says
Is it possible to treat depression without medication or antidepressants? There is a simple answer to this question: Yes. Yes, it is. Most people don’t know that you can treat depression at home, medication-free. If they do, most people don’t know how. The fact is, you don’t need pills to reduce depressive symptoms or even to recover from depression. By making a few lifestyle ...
