Immunity, inflammation and sepsis: new insights and persistent questions
Sepsis is now understood to affect a variety of changes in the host, chief among them being alterations in immune system function. Proper immune function involves a competent proinflammatory response to stimuli as well as a regulated counteracting force to restore homeostasis and prevent systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction. Broad-spectrum suppression of the inflammatory response has not...
متن کاملCortical spreading depression and migraine: new insights from imaging?
The possibility that spreading depression (SD) of cortical activity, a phenomenon observed in all vertebrates, causes the aura of migraine remains an open question in spite of nearly half a century of investigation. SD is also thought to be associated with the progressive neuronal injury observed during cerebral ischaemia. Thus, the ability to detect and investigate SD in humans might prove cli...
متن کاملCortical spreading depression--better understanding and more questions. Focus on "distinct vascular conduction with cortical spreading depression".
In this issue of the Journal of Neurophysiology Brennan et al. (p. 4143–4151) present a provocative, carefully conducted series of studies that challenge a very tightly held belief about cortical spreading depression (CSD) showing propagation of the dilation of cortical surface arterioles at a greater velocity than the wave changes in cellular activity. How could this be? Do not changes in bloo...
متن کاملP 23: Apoptosis Following Cortical Spreading Depression in Juvenile Rats
Introduction: Repetitive cortical spreading depression (CSD) can lead to cell death in immature brain tissue. Caspases are involved in neuronal cell death in several CSD-related neurological disorders. Yet, whether repetitive CSD itself can induce caspase activation in adult or juvenile tissue remains unknown. Inducing repetitive CSD in somatosensory cortices of juvenile and adult rats in vivo,...
متن کاملMechanism of Spreading Cortical Depression1
SPREADING DEPRESSION, which results from strong stimulation of the cerebral cortex, was first described by LeZo in 1944 (15). In the intact brain of rabbits, cats, or monkeys, this phenomenon manifests itself in the disappearance of the spontaneous electrical activity of the cortex, starting at the stimulated point, and spreading in all directions over the cortex at the rate of about 3 mm./min....
