Until recently, the cerebellum was primarily considered to be a structure involved in motor behaviour. New anatomical and clinical evidence has shown that the cerebellum is also involved in higher cognitive functions and ...

Primary nerve repair is the gold standard in nerve reconstruction. When primary repair is not possible for injured nerves, conduit-assisted repair methods are frequently used. As conduits, autologous vein segments or ...

Nerve regeneration after surgical reconstruction is far from optimal, and thus effective strategies for improving the outcome of nerve repair are being sought. In this experiment, we verified if postoperative intraperitoneal ...

Zinc is an important trace element in biological systems; however, excessive extracellular zinc could lead to neuronal cell death following ischemia, seizures, and brain trauma. In this study, we investigated whether the ...

Although use of platelet gel (PG) for promoting tissue regeneration is a popular approach because of its capacity to accelerate tissue regeneration, to our knowledge, its effects on peripheral nerve have still not been ...

The toxic effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during development has been widely investigated. While it has been shown that these drugs impair central nervous development and compromise the neural ...

The vestibular system helps the body to maintain equilibrium. There are four vestibular nuclei on the right and left sides, the medial vestibular nucleus being the largest. The volumes and total numbers of neurons in the ...

Aside from anatomical repairs, the reestablishment of sensory and motor innervations for proper functional recovery is one of the fundamental objectives of reconstructive surgery. The heterotopic transfer of autologous ...

In the hippocampus, short-term exposure to ethanol (EtOH) has been shown to inhibit some functions, and nitric oxide (NO) is an important modulator of physiologic processes. in this study, investigators explored the effects ...
