Synaptic and Axonal Plasticity Induction in the Human Cerebral Cortex
This chapter summarizes a newly developed method (quadripulse stimulation (QPS)) to induce neural plasticity in the human brain. What Is QPS? One stimulation burst consisting of four monophasic pulses is given every 5 s for 30 min. In total, 360 bursts (1440 pulses) are given in one session. Short-interval QPS potentiates excitability and longer-interval QPS depresses the target area. QPS at in...
متن کاملElastic instabilities in a layered cerebral cortex: A revised axonal tension model for cortex folding
We model the viscoelasticity of the cerebral cortex as a layered material with bending energy along the layers and elastic energy between them in both planar and polar geometries. The cortex is also subjected to axons pulling from the underlying white matter. Above a critical threshold force, a “flat” cortex configuration becomes unstable and periodic unduluations emerge, i.e. a buckling instab...
متن کاملStereological study of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex following short time exposure to morphine in rats
Drug abuse has been claimed to cause the loss of neurons and reduction of volume in both the adult and developing brain. This study examined cortex volumes in cerebrum and cerebellum of male rats that were dependent on morphine using unbiased stereological counting methods and systematic random sampling technique. Our goal was to test whether short time exposure to morphine can affect the corte...
متن کاملEffect of paraoxon on the synaptosomal GABA uptake in rat hippocampus and cerebral cortex
Introduction: Paraoxon (the neurotoxic metabolite of organophosphorus (OP) insecticide, parathion) exerts acute toxicity by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in cholinergic synapses and hence overstimulation of the cholinergic system. Since, reports on changes in the level of γ- amino butyric acid (GABA) during OP-induced convulsion have bee...
