Top Research Papers on Neuroscience

This book, being comprehensive and providing an integrated approach, is recommended for post graduate students of clinical neurology, psychiatry and neurosurgery, as well as for the undergraduate courses for which it is designed.

The following are offered as readable overviews of the neuroscientific areas especially relevant to psychiatry, with an emphasis on publications or editions produced within the past three years, since the rate of progress renders most texts rapidly redundant.

This course examines the biology of pain and the mechanisms by which anesthetics alter the perception of pain, and provides an introduction to the anatomy and function of specific brain circuits.

A narrative review of studies using eye tracking, electroencephalography (EEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to evaluate tobacco control measures and describes how neuroscience techniques can overcome some of the limitations of these other research techniques.

How factors such as age, gender, and social context interact to influence how the authors respond to stressors both physiologically and behaviorally will be explored, and how stress influences mental and physical health.

The Neuroscience program, housed in the BioSciences Department, provides a strong interdisciplinary education covering the breath of fundamental disciplines on which neuroscience is based and includes multiple opportunities for experiential learning. Neuroscience uses diverse methodologies to investigate the brain and its relationship to the mind, and includes the analysis of brain structures related to specific cognitive processes and representations, investigations of the biochemical processes that occur in brain functions, and the interactions and correlations among the brain, behavior, and...

The biology of pain and the mechanisms by which anesthetics alter the perception of pain are examined and electrophysiological, biophysical, and biochemical explanations underlying the action of general and local anesthetic explanations are defined.

Infectious diseases take time to show clinical signs such as fever, in appetence and dynamic, which are generalized manifestations that reflect that the organ system is experiencing an infection.

The claims that literary critics and theorists make about language, reading, emotions, and the social powers of literature are based on assumptions about cognition that can and should be tested against the relevant science. The findings of contemporary neuroscience will not settle all disputes about such matters, but the acceptance of some empirically tested postulates about the workings of the brain may at least rule some mistaken views out of bounds. The current scientific consensus is that language is a “bio-cultural hybrid” that develops through the interaction of inherited functions and a...

A minimum of 45 unduplicated units of course work, including the Neuroscience courses listed below or approved substitutes are required to meet the requirements of a Ph.D. degree in Neurosciences.

Evidence for structural plasticity within the human brain as a function of increasing exposure to environmental stimuli is provided and may have important implications for rehabilitation following various insults to the brain.

This section of The Neuroscientist will comment on recent developments on neuroscience that have received special attention by the lay public, for exam ple, via coverage in news media, and so on.

Early diagnosis, prompt treatment, and targeted public health interventions are crucial in reducing the impact of CNS TB, particularly in high-burden regions.

D-gal-induced brain oxidative stress and spatial memory impairment are dependent upon exposure time of d-gal, plus gender and age of the animals used, which can serve as a useful guide for successfully establishing d-Galactose induced age-related oxidative damage models.

The results suggest the thumb and its metacarpus share the same mental representation, which is distinct from the representation of the palm.

The findings suggest that the active constituents of C. Sativus L. crocins might play a role in compulsive behavior and support a functional interaction between croCins and the serotonergic system.
