Brain edema formation and neurological impairment after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Global cerebral edema is an independent risk factor for early death and poor outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In the present study, the time course of brain edema formation, neurological deficits, and neuronal cell loss were ... Read more...

A neurocomputational model for cocaine addiction.

29 Sep 2009 Based on the dopamine hypotheses of cocaine addiction and the assumption of decrement of brain reward system sensitivity after long-term drug exposure, we propose a computational model for cocaine addiction. Utilizing average reward temporal ... Read more...

What has positron emission tomography told us about the epileptogenic zone?

6 Sep 2009 There is no one ligand for visualising "the epileptogenic zone". Several PET ligands, however, can help by noninvasively or minimally invasively refining hypotheses regarding its location. Their relative merits depend not only on local availability ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Brain Chemistry'

Definition: Changes in the amounts of various chemicals (neurotransmitters, receptors, enzymes, and other metabolites) specific to the area of the central nervous system contained within the head. These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states.

Descriptor UI: D001923

Alternative terms: Brain Chemistry; Chemistry, Brain; Brain Chemistries; Chemistries, Brain;

Allowable Qualifiers: drug effects; genetics; immunology; physiology; radiation effects;

Tree Number: G02.111.100; G03.200;

History Note: 65

Technical Notes: differentiate from BRAIN /metab; consider also /chem with specific parts of the brain but probably as NIM with BRAIN CHEMISTRY (IM) if site is merely locational & illustrative
