Subcortical mapping and monitoring during insular tumor surgery.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: The treatment of insular tumors is controversial. Surgical treatment is associated with a higher morbidity rate than other therapies. The present work presents a new method in which the descending motor pathways are monitored during surgery ... Read more...

Serotonin targets inhibitory synapses to induce modulation of network functions.

10 Sep 2009 The cellular effects of serotonin (5-HT), a neuromodulator with widespread influences in the central nervous system, have been investigated. Despite detailed knowledge about the molecular biology of cellular signalling, it is not possible to ... Read more...

Motor circuit abnormalities in first-episode schizophrenia assessed with transcranial magnetic stimulation.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: Abnormalities in corticosubcortical circuits in schizophrenia have been described by previous neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies. Previous studies assessing excitability of the motoneural system by measuring cortical silent ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Efferent Pathways'

Definition: Nerve structures through which impulses are conducted from a nerve center toward a peripheral site. Such impulses are conducted via efferent neurons (NEURONS, EFFERENT), such as MOTOR NEURONS, autonomic neurons, and hypophyseal neurons.
