The main discussion above of the novel pathogenic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has focusedon the immediate risks and impact on the respiratory system; however, the effects induced ...

The electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones and base antennas can penetrate tissues of the human head, and can be absorbed and transformed into heat. Due to the increase of mobile telephony, there is interest ...

Neurological soft signs (NSS) are frequently found in severe mental disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia or HIV associated neumcognitive disorder (HAND) which includes asymptomatic neumcognitive impairment ...

Human immunodeficiency virus infection raises ethical issues in medical practice. This work presents several problems with ethical connotations related to HIV infections, observed by a neurologist during his medical practice. ...

Odorants induce specific modulation of mitral/tufted (MT) cells' firing rate in the mammalian olfactory bulb (OB), inducing temporal patterns of neuronal discharge embedded in an oscillatory local field potential (LFP). ...

Chronic toluene inhalation provokes significant deleterious neurological effects in young glue sniffers and exposed workers. We have developed a chronic toluene inhalation model in the cat to address this issue. Neuronal ...

Down syndrome (DS) in humans, or trisomy of autosome 21, represents the hyperdiploidy that most frequently survives gestation, reaching an incidence of I in 700 live births. The condition is associated with multisystemic ...

The highly polarized morphology and complex geometry of neurons is determined to a great extent by the structural and functional organization of the secretory pathway. It is intuitive to propose that the spatial arrangement ...

Clustering of αvβ3 integrin after interaction with the RGD-like integrin-binding sequence present in neuronal Thy-1 triggers formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers in astrocytes via RhoA activation. A putative ...
