Genetic complexity of absence seizures in substrains of C3H mice.

15 Dec 2009 Absence epilepsy is a common form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy whose etiology is poorly understood because of genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. The inbred mouse strain C3H/He exhibits spontaneous absence seizures characterized by spike and ... Read more...

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...

Decreased brain edema after collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage in mice lacking the inducible nitric oxide synthase gene. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Hematoma size and brain edema after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are important prognostic factors. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is induced after cerebral ischemia and is known to be involved in secondary neuronal injury, but its ... 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
