Introduction: Oxidative stress is one of the important pathologic factors involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Antioxidants as neutralizing agents of free radicals are one of the treatment options for these diseases and antioxidant agents that can pass through blood brain barrier have beneficial effects. In the present research, the antioxidant effect of a new iron ...

We report on the construction of neuron models by assimilating electrophysiological data with large-scale constrained nonlinear optimization. The method implements interior point line parameter search to determine parameters from the responses to intracellular current injections of zebra finch HVC neurons. We incorporated these parameters into a nine ionic channel conductance model to obtain co...

In many experiments, the data points collected live in high-dimensional observation spaces, yet can be assigned a set of labels or parameters. In electrophysiological recordings, for instance, the responses of populations of neurons generally depend on mixtures of experimentally controlled parameters. The heterogeneity and diversity of these parameter dependencies can make visualization and int...

The human brain is a complex network of connected neurons whose dynamics are difficult to describe. Brain the global manifestation individual neuron and synaptic coupling between neurons. Membrane potential function electrophysiological coupling, with parameters postsynaptic potential, action ion pump dynamics. By modelling using physical laws time evolution membrane energy, can be described. T...

Heart failure constitutes a major public health problem worldwide. The electrophysiological remodeling of failing hearts sets the stage for malignant arrhythmias, in which the role of the late Na(+) current (I(NaL)) is relevant and is currently under investigation. In this study we examined the role of I(NaL) in the electrophysiological phenotype of ventricular myocytes, and its proarrhythmic e...

Second, it is unclear why hypokalemia (75% of MIH cases) was dismissed as a factor for the incidence of cardiac dysrhythmia [1]. Temperature changes induce electrolyte shifts and thus influence the depolarization and repolarization times and the conduction velocity of action potentials within the myocardium, promoting aberrant conduction pathways. Electrolyte abnormalities associated with MIH c...

BACKGROUND Remifentanil has been implicated as causing intraoperative bradyarrhythmias, but little information is available regarding its cardiac electrophysiological effects. Thus, we evaluated the cardiac electrophysiological properties before and after remifentanil in a closed-chest porcine model. METHODS Eighteen Landrace-Large pigs were premedicated with ketamine and anaesthetized with p...

introduction: electrophysiological studies have demonstrated a relationship between aging and atrioventricular (av) nodal conduction and refractoriness. the aim of the present study was to determine the effects of nodal aging on dynamic av nodal field potential recording during atrial fibrillation (af) in rabbit. methods: two groups of male new zealand rabbits (neonatal 2-week-olds and adult 12...
