Kynurenines in neurological disorders
… kynurenine pathway is thought to be involved in neurological disorders but its precise role and the mechanisms involved have yet to be established. Tryptophan can be metabolised via this pathway to produce the neurotoxic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonist, quinolinic acid (QUIN), and …

Modeling Complex Neurological Disorders With Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
The etiology of many complex neurological disorders, including schizophrenia (SZ) and HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND), are still unknown, partly due to a lack of accurate models. Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs), which can be differentiated into any cell type and capture …

Phytochemical Investigation of Psychoactive Medicinal Plants for the Treatment of Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders include disorders such as migraine, tension-type headaches, Parkinson’s disease (PD), epilepsy, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Globally, PD is the second most comneurodegenerative disorder following AD. In developed countries, PD affects 1% of all population over 60 …

UNRAVELING THE EFFECTS OF NEUROREHABILITATION IN PERSONS WITH NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS: RECOVERY VERSUS COMPENSATION
This thesis investigates the mechanisms behind motor improvements in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), focusing on the concepts of recovery and compensation as outlined in Levin’s theoretical framework. This framework identifies three levels of motor recovery and compensation: functional, …

Modulation of BAZ2 Proteins as a Potential Therapeutic Strategy in Cancer and Neurological Disorders
The complex landscape behind protein homeostasis involves a highly sophisticated system devoted to maintaining cellular balance and preventing dysfunction. In this context, the cellular machinery acts as a quality control mechanism, rapidly identifying and eliminating proteins that could impair …

A biocompatible, local drug delivery platform for the chronic treatment of neurological disorders of the brain
Many neurological disorders are now classified as circuit disorders, in which the underlying pathology arises from a failure in dynamic communication between anatomically distinct regions of the brain. Systemic therapies are often not effective due to their untargeted nature. The injectrode is a …

Temporal and spatial muscle synergy features and its neural origins during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit tasks
… crucial for independent living. Many people with neurological disorders that lack neuromuscular control lose the ability to perform the transition tasks normally. Several muscles act together to achieve these motions and the inability to perform these daily life tasks, therefore, present the need …
