Stat3 inhibition activates tumor macrophages and abrogates glioma growth in mice.

29 Sep 2009 As the main effector-cell population of the central nervous system, microglia (MG) are considered to play an important immunoregulatory function in a number of pathological conditions such as inflammation, trauma, degenerative disease, and brain ... Read more...

Evidence of a large-scale network underlying language switching: a brain stimulation study.

29 Sep 2009 This 47-year-old, right-handed bilingual (French and English) man underwent awake surgery for a glioma in the left dominant posterior temporal lobe. During intraoperative picture naming, direct electrostimulation of a discrete cortical area within ... Read more...

Task-free presurgical mapping using functional magnetic resonance imaging intrinsic activity.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Low-frequency components of the spontaneous functional MR imaging signal provide information about the intrinsic functional and anatomical organization of the brain. The ability to use such methods in individual patients may provide a ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Brain Neoplasms'

Definition: Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
