The Baroreflex And Neurogenic Control Of Cerebral Autoregulation In Cerebral Blood Flow
Introduction The neurogenic component of cerebral autoregulation (CA) refers to those mechanisms controlling cerebral blood flow under the influence of the nervous system, and which rely on the innervation of the cerebral blood vessels. The neurogenic control of CA is incompletely understood. …

Cerebral damage associated with alcoholism
<p>The neuroanatomical consequences of chronic ethanol ingestion were investigated using neuropsychological tests selectively sensitive to damage in circumscribed brain areas-~~~ The performance of a group of male alcoholics (N=15) with a self-reporte?- drinking history less than ten years, and a …

Cerebral Microcirculatory Effects of Maturation
… (4B) branches of newborn and adult sheep middle cerebral arteries, 5-HT2 serotonergic receptors mediate contractile responses to serotonin and that alpha-1 adrenergic receptors mediate contractile responses to norepinephrine. In addition, tissue sensitivity to 5-HT and NE decreases significantly …

The Acoustics of Cerebral Aneurysms
… brain aneurysms, which is a sign that these cerebral lesions are subject to wall vibrations. The aim of this thesis is to provide a better understanding of aneurysm sounds as they could be a crucial source of information to understand the reasons behind aneurysm rupture. Here we present an …

A model for cerebral cortical neuron group electric activity and its implications for cerebral function
The electroencephalogram, or EEG, is a recording of the field potential generated by the electric activity of neuronal populations of the brain. Its utility has long been recognized as a monitor which reflects the vigilance states of the brain, such as arousal, drowsiness, and sleep stages. …

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Alcohol-Induced Cerebral Artery Smooth Muscle BK Channel Inhibition and Eventual Cerebral Vasoconstriction
… such as during binge drinking (30-60 mM) causes cerebral vasoconstriction in many species, including humans. Using rodents as a model to study ethanolinduced cerebral artery constriction, our laboratory demonstrated that ethanol-induced cerebral artery constriction is due to drug-induced …

Hip and Spine in Cerebral Palsy
Abstract Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have an increased risk of scoliosis, contractures including windswept hip deformity (WS), and hip dislocation. In 1994, a follow-up program and registry for children and adolescents with CP (CPUP) was initiated in Sweden to allow the early …

Genetics of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a leading cause of stroke and vascular dementia. The majority of cases are sporadic, occurring in the elderly hypertensive population. However, there also exist patients with familial disease. The most common form is Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy …

Lausnamiðuð styrktarþjálfun einstaklinga með Cerebral Palsy (heilalömun)
… fjallað um styrktarþjálfun einstaklinga með cerebral palsy, og hvernig má útfæra stignun af ýmsum styrktaræfingum sem hentar þeim. Tveir einstaklingar með cerebral palsy voru fengnir til aðstoðar, annar með helftarlömun (hemiplegia) og hinn fjórlömun (quadriplegia). Áherslan var lögð á að …

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Cerebral Venous Oxygenation
Cerebral venous oxygenation (Yᵥ) is an important biomarker for brain diseases. My dissertation consisted of two studies. The first study aims to investigate the regional Yᵥ in hypertension. Hypertension is known to cause cerebral hypoperfusion and cortical atrophy but its impact on Yᵥ is not yet …

Literacy development in children with cerebral palsy
… literacy difficulties of fifteen children with cerebral palsy (CP). The children were an opportunistic sample from two schools, and were initially selected on the basis that they had typical abilities in other school subjects. A review of the literature pertaining to the development of literacy …

The Mechanisms and Consequences of Cerebral Lateralization
… Examining the mechanisms that give rise to cerebral lateralization, Experiments 1 and 2 tested the assumption that there is a causal relationship in the degree and direction of lateralization between left- and right-hemisphere dominant tasks. In experiment 1, this relationship between …

Cerebral mechanisms of breathlessness and its relief
… assessments. However, current knowledge about cerebral mechanisms of breathlessness is lacking. Functional brain imaging studies have identified involvement of certain cortical structures but interpretations of these data are limited by various assumptions. Aim:The primary purpose of this …
