Basal ganglia vulnerability to oxidative stress
Increased levels of oxidative stress (OS) in the brain have been linked to the etiology of several neurodegenerative diseases, e.g., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease (Navarro and Boveris, 2009; Melo et al., 2011; Radak et al., 2011; Sultana et al., 2013). A possible cause of increased OS levels is an imbalance in the omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (Kiecol...
متن کاملSelective Neuronal Vulnerability to Oxidative Stress in the Brain
Oxidative stress (OS), caused by the imbalance between the generation and detoxification of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), plays an important role in brain aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and other related adverse conditions, such as ischemia. While ROS/RNS serve as signaling molecules at physiological levels, an excessive amount of these molecules leads to oxidative modific...
متن کاملRole of Basal Ganglia in Swallowing Process: A Systematic Review
Objectives: The basal ganglia (BG) controls different patterns of behavior by receiving inputs from sensory-motor and pre-motor cortex and projecting it to pre-frontal, pre-motor and supplementary motor areas. As the exact role of BG in swallowing process has not been fully determined, we aimed at reviewing the published data on neurological control in the swallowing technique to have a better ...
متن کاملBasal ganglia orient eyes to reward.
Expectation of reward motivates our behaviors and influences our decisions. Indeed, neuronal activity in many brain areas is modulated by expected reward. However, it is still unclear where and how the reward-dependent modulation of neuronal activity occurs and how the reward-modulated signal is transformed into motor outputs. Recent studies suggest an important role of the basal ganglia. Senso...
متن کاملSyringobulbia extending to the basal ganglia.
Syringomyelia and syringobulbia are diseases in which there is a tubular cavitation of the spinal cord and medulla. CT with intrathecal injection of water-soluble contrast material (CT myelography) and, more recently, MR imaging have led to a revolution in the diagnosis of syringomyelia. Syringobulbia is much rarer than syringomyelia and usually associated with it [1]. Radiologic demonstration ...
