Neuroscience: A Sleep Rhythm with Multiple Facets

Sleep spindles were one of the first rhythms associated with learning and memory consolidation. Current research shows spindles can reflect features of trait and time-varying properties of neuroplasticity. A new study has now used feedback-controlled spindle frequency stimulation to show that sleep spindles modulate endogenous brain electric activity and behavior.

Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Pancreatitis: A Rare Association with Multiple Facets

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is rarely associated with the occurrence of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Hypercalcemia plays a major role in the pathogenesis. We report five cases of pancreatitis revealing PHPT. Patients and Methods. This is a retrospective study of 4 years, including all patients admitted to intensive care unit or gastroenterology department, for an acute or chronic pancr...

The multiple facets of multiple sclerosis.

INTRODUCTION Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and degenerative entity that may involve the brain, optic nerve, and/or the spinal cord. We reviewed 137 patients, aged 4-54 years old at the time of the diagnosis and will report on the vision, different motility disorders found, visual fields, optic neuritis and RAPD, return of vision following the neuritis, visual evoked potential, nerv...

The multiple facets of Per2.

The Period 2 (Per2) gene is an important component of the circadian system. It appears to be not only part of the core oscillator mechanism, but also part of the input and output pathways of the clock. Because of its involvement at multiple levels of the circadian system, Per2 needs to meet a variety of different demands. We discuss how Per2 might be able to fulfill multiple functions by review...
