Introduction: Blood brain barrier and multidrug resistance phenomenon are subjects of many investigations. Mainly, because of their functions in protecting the central nervous system (CNS) by blocking the delivery of toxic substances to the brain. This special function has some disadvantages, like drug delivery to the brain in neurodegenerative diseases. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine...
Basic research into neurodegenerative disorders, like Alzheimer’s disease, is heavily focused on understanding genetic susceptibility and biochemical triggers of pathology, as well as disturbances to the intrinsic electrophysiological properties of affected neurons. Often overlooked is the role of mechanics, particularly mechanical properties and mechano‑sensitivity/‑responsiveness of neurons and...
Glial pathology and energy metabolism changes in the brain precede symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple other neurodegenerative diseases. Astrocytes govern and regulate a large part of the energy metabolism in the brain. Prolonged impairment of astrocytic functions could increase the vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). In this model, 40‑50% of dopaminergic...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of electromagnetic fields on BALB/c strain mice on their health, body weight, behavior characteristics, hematological parameters and histopathological findings in the brain. The mice of the experimental groups were exposed to electromagnetic waves by using Nokia 230 and Samsung 19300 Galaxy S III mobile phones situated at 2 cm from the cages. In...
Background. The objective of the study was to explore the dynamics of the functional state of the central nervous system (CNS) and neurophysiological processes of girls 16-18 years old in the context of their transition to a new level of social organization. Material and methods. The functional state of the CNS was studied in girls 16-18 years old in a state of relative muscular rest through observation...
Learning and memory effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) microinjected unilaterally (left or right) and bilaterally into hippocampal CA1 area on the background of the inhibited hippocampal angiotensin 1 receptors type (ATI) of male Wistar rats were studied. It was found that the combination (losartan 100 ^g + Ang II 0.5^g) microinjected bilaterally or into the left CA1 area improved learning and memory...
