Platelet Refractoriness and how it is formed
Abstract Background and Objectives Transfusion of platelet has become one of the main treatments for thrombocytopenic patients to reduce the severity and frequency of bleeding consequences. Failure to attain the desired level of platelets in a patient following platelet transfusion is defined as platelet refractoriness. The purpose of present paper is to review and study the mechanisms involve...
متن کاملPM496. How delusion is formed?
So-called D-neuron (trace amine (TA) neuron) is the ligand neuron of trace amine-associated receptor, type 1 (TAAR1). Reduced stimulation of TAAR1 on dopamine (DA) neurons in the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been revealed to increase firing frequency of VTA DA neurons. A Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)-required histochemical methods (K. Ikemoto) were used to specify subgroups of D-...
متن کاملThe evolutionary origin of the mammalian cerebral cortex.
The origin of the mammalian neocortex in usually considered as an improvement in the structure of the brain. Alternatively, I suggest that the mammalian neocortex arose as a consequence of contingent adaptations in which there was no specific selection for more elaborate cognitive abilities. In primitive mammals, the adaptation to nocturnal life produced a reduction of the optic tectum (superio...
متن کاملEvolution and development of the mammalian cerebral cortex.
Comparative developmental studies of the mammalian brain can identify key changes that can generate the diverse structures and functions of the brain. We have studied how the neocortex of early mammals became organized into functionally distinct areas, and how the current level of cortical cellular and laminar specialization arose from the simpler premammalian cortex. We demonstrate the neocort...
متن کاملanatomIc and functIonal organIzatIon of the mammalIan cerebral cortex
Within a given cortical column, discrete clusters of neurons project to a limited number of sites and tend to link columns of common functional properties (Mountcastle, 1997). The radial dispersion of these clusters is about 400 μm, similar to the spread of the dendritic arbor. Therefore, the cerebral cortex can be seen as a jigsaw of local neuronal microcircuits, which are interconnected by sm...
