The Retinal Müller Cell

Structure and Function

by Vijay Sarthy, Harris Ripps
Language: English
Release Date: April 11, 2006

The human brain contains more than a billion neurons which interconnect to form networks that process, store, and recall sensory information. These neuronal activities are supported by a group of accessory brain cells coll- tively known as neuroglia. Surprisingly, glial cells are ten times more -...

Cover of Functional Neuroimaging in Exercise and Sport Sciences
by
Language: English
Release Date: June 19, 2012

Regular physical exercise is associated with substantial health benefits. Recent evidence not only holds for cardiovascular effects promoting "physical health", but also for the central nervous system believed to promote "brain health”. Moderate physical exercise has been found to...

Brain Theory From A Circuits And Systems Perspective

How Electrical Science Explains Neuro-circuits, Neuro-systems, and Qubits

by John Robert Burger
Language: English
Release Date: May 31, 2013

This book models  an idealized neuron as being driven by basic electrical elements, the goal being to systematically characterize the logical properties of neural pulses.  In order to constitute a system, neurons as pulsating devices may be represented using novel circuit elements as delineated...
Cover of Protein Quality Control in Neurodegenerative Diseases
by
Language: English
Release Date: December 13, 2012

The health of the proteome depends upon protein quality control to regulate the proper synthesis, folding, translocation, and clearance of proteins. The cell is challenged constantly by environmental and physiological stress, aging, and the chronic expressions of disease associated misfolded proteins....

Cover of Auditory and Vestibular Efferents
by
Language: English
Release Date: November 22, 2010

Efferent sensory systems have emerged as major components of processing by the central nervous system. Whereas the afferent sensory systems bring environmental information into the brain, efferent systems function to monitor, sharpen, and attend selectively to certain stimuli while ignoring others....
