Example of cortical activity during a fatal event in an Scn1a L263V mouse. The animal shows a sudden change of posture and subtle hindlimb extension, in total lasting approximately 1-2 s, followed by ...

Perinatal cerebral hypoxia–ischemia (HI) can lead to severe neurodevelopmental disorders. Studies in humans and animal models mainly focused on cerebral outcomes, and little is known about the ...

Dynamic changes in electrophysiology of brainstem auditory neurons during the first month after birth were studied in 51 term infants after perinatal asphyxia using maximum length sequence brainstem ...

The brainstem is a conduit connecting higher brain centers, cerebellum and spinal cord and provides the main sensory and motor innervation to the face, head and neck via the cranial nerves. It plays a ...

Rationale: In porcine healthy-lung and moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) models, groups that received phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS) with mechanical ventilation (MV) showed lower ...

MRI offers techniques for non-invasively measuring a range of aspects of brain tissue function. Blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is widely used to ...

Okazaki, Japan – The communication between the brain and bodily organs is fundamental to emotion regulation and overall mental health. The nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) in the brainstem is a ...

Thirty preterm infants born at 33-36 weeks gestation were studied three months after term. None had major perinatal and postnatal complications to minimize confounding effects. Brainstem auditory ...

A recent study reveals how gene control mechanisms define the identity of developing neurons in the brainstem. The researchers also showed that a failure in differentiation of the brainstem neurons ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 45 (November 9, 2021), pp. 1-3 (3 pages) Drainage of interstitial fluid and solutes from the brainstem ...

Abstract: In this paper a nonlinear fuzzy model was introduced to reveal the dynamics of auditory brainstem response to one syllable speech stimuli /da/, in normal Persian speaking subjects. This ...
