The role of the complement system in ischemic stroke and neural plasticity
(2013-10-29)
Evidence from experimental animal studies suggests that complement activation in the brain is a “double-edged sword” as it exerts beneficial or detrimental effects depending on the context. Here, we assessed whether ...
Brain Regeneration - in vitro and in vivo studies of exercise-related effects on brain plasticity
(2008-06-13)
Neural stem and progenitor cells in the germinal regions of the adult brain, such as the hippocampus, are of great interest, because they provide the possibility for enhanced brain plasticity or can contribute to endogenous ...
Behavior and cytogenesis following irradiation or isoflurane exposure to the developing brain
(2010-08-30)
In this thesis, the effects of an anesthetic agent, isoflurane, on the young brain and resulting behavioral effects were investigated. Anesthesia is commonly used in young children during surgery or other procedures ...
The effect of astrocytes and reactive gliosis on neurogenesis and astrogenesis in mice
(2008-11-10)
Astrocytes are the most common cell type in mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin constitute intermediate filaments (known also as nanofilaments), a part of the ...
Regulation of postnatal neurogenesis and brain angiogenesis by thyroid hormone
(2009-12-07)
Thyroid hormone (TH), which is secreted by the thyroid gland, exerts significant
effects on the central nervous system (CNS), especially during development, so
that delayed treatment of perinatal hypothyroidism results ...
