Cerebral Cortex - Injuries
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Cerebral Cortex'The thin layer of gray matter on the surface of the cerebral hemisphere that develops from the telencephalon and folds into gyri. It reaches its highest development in man and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions. Common names: Cerebral Cortex; Cerebral Cortices; Cortex, Cerebral; Cortices, Cerebral; Insula of Reil; Reil Insula |

The regenerative capacity of the adult central nervous system is limited. We investigated whether short-term food restriction (FR; 50% of the daily food intake lasting 3 months) modulates processes of brain plasticity after cortical injury. ... Read more...
30 Jul 2009 The primary sources of cortical gliogenesis, either during development or after adult brain injury, remain uncertain. We previously generated Nestin-CreER mice to fate-map the progeny of radial glial cells (RG), a source of astrocytes and ... Read more...
TNF-alpha contributes to axonal sprouting and functional recovery following traumatic brain injury.
14 Jul 2009 In response to a central nervous system (CNS) injury, microglia and astrocytes release tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). This proinflammatory cytokine has been implicated in both neuronal cell death and survival. Here, we show that TNF-alpha ... Read more...
