According to the World Health Organization, Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is major cause of death and disability will surpass other diseases by year 2020. Patients who suffer TBI face many difficulties which negatively affect their social personal life. patients from changes in mood, impulsivity, poor judgment memory deficits. Both open closed head injuries have own consequences. Open associated problems are specific nature e.g. loss motor functions whereas diffused like memory, concentration...
Abstract Restoration of lost function following a nervous system injury is limited in adulthood as the regenerative capacity declines with age. Pharmacological approaches have not been very successful alleviating consequences injury. On contrary, physical activity and rehabilitation interventions are often beneficial to improve health conditions patients neuronal injuries. Using touch neuron circuit Caenorhabditis elegans , we investigated role exercise improvement functional restoration...
Although the interplay between endogenous opioids and dopamine (DA) in basal ganglia (BG) is known to underlie diverse motor functions, few studies exist on their role modulating speech vocalization. Vocal impairment a common symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), wherein DA depletion affects striosomes rich μ-opioid receptors (μ-ORs). Symptoms opioid addiction also include deficiencies verbal functions speech. To understand system BG vocalization, we used adult male songbirds high levels...
The organization of the anterior forebrain pathway (AFP) songbirds important for context-dependent singing is similar to that cortical basal ganglia loops (CBG) in mammals, which underlie motor behaviors including vocalization. Since different components AFP express high levels μ-opioid receptors (μ-ORs) as do CBG loops, act model systems study role opioid modulation on vocalization and motivation sing. includes cortical/pallial region LMAN (lateral magnocellular nucleus nidopallium)...
