Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The microenvironment of a nerve cell is essential to its function and the characterization of this domain is a major issue in contemporary neurobiology. The behavior of neurons is strictly related to their physiological activity, which is itself dependent on the chemical composition of the encompassing environment. Beyond this crucial role, the interstitial space of the brain serves as a conduit for the transmission of information. The microenvironment does not function in isolation, however, because two major components are intimately involved with it; these are the glial cells of the brain and the blood-brain barrier. Progress in these areas has been made through several approaches: the use of ion-selective electrodes, characterization of glial membrane physiology, the application of concepts and recent advances in transport physiology, and the development of new techniques for studying the blood-brain barrier. The results presented will have considerable relevance to our understanding of ischemia, anoxia, stroke, epilepsy, and brain edema. All these clinical areas continue to be hampered by lack of understanding of the basic physiological processes that are taking place, and it is such issues that are addressed here. (AW).

Book excerpt: The microenvironment of a nerve cell is essential to its function and the characterization of this domain is a major issue in contemporary neurobiology. The behavior of neurons is strictly related to their physiological activity, which is itself dependent on the chemical composition of the encompassing environment. Beyond this crucial role, the interstitial space of the brain serves as a conduit for the transmission of information. The microenvironment does not function in isolation, however, because two major components are intimately involved with it; these are the glial cells of the brain and the blood-brain barrier. Progress in these areas has been made through several approaches: the use of ion-selective electrodes, charaterization of glial membrane physiology, the application of concepts and recent advances in transport physiology, and the development of new techniques for studying the blood-brain barrier. This book brings together three groups of investigators working on the biophysics of the microenvironment, the blood-brain barrier, and membrane properties of glial cells. The aim was to begin a dialogue and exchange of concepts between the groups that could eventually lead to unified concepts that encompass the three components.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability of the internal environment in which neuronal elements are situated is unquestionably an important prerequisite for the effective transmission of information in the nervous system. During the past decade our knowledge on the microenvironment of nerve cells has expanded. The conception that the microenvironment of neurones comprises a fluid with a relatively simple and stable composition is no longer accepted; the microenvironment is now envisaged as a dynamic structure whose composition, shape, and volume changes, thereby significantly influencing neuronal function and the trans mission of information in the nervous system. The modern conception of the neuronal microenvironment is based on the results of research over the last 20 years. The extracellular space (ECS) is comprehended not only as a relatively stable microenvironment containing neurones and glial cells (Bernard 1878), but also as a channel for communica tion between them. The close proximity of the neuronal elements in the CNS and the narrowness of the intercellular spaces provides a basis not only for interaction between the elements themselves, but also between the elements and their microenvironment. Substances which can cross the cell membranes can easily find their way through the microenvironment to adjacent cellular elements. In this way the microenvironment can assure non-synaptic com munication between the relevant neurones. Signalization can be coded by modulation of the chemical composition of the ECS in the vicinity of the cell membrane and does not require classic connection by axones, dendrites, and synapses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading neuroscience researchers offer a fresh perspective on neuronal function by examining all its many components-including their pertubation during major disease states-and relate each element to neuronal demands. Topics range from the dependency of neurons on metabolic supply, as well as on both ion and transmitter homeostasis, to their close interaction with the myelin sheath. Also addressed are the astrocytic signaling system that controls synaptic transmission, the extracellular matrix and space as communication systems, the role of blood flow regulation in neuronal demand and in blood-brain barrier function, and inflammation and the neuroimmune system. Insightful and integrative, The Neuronal Environment: Brain Homeostasis in Health and Disease demonstrates a clear new understanding that neurons do not work in isolation, that they need constant interactions with other brain components to process information, and that they are not the only information processing system in the brain.
Download or read book The Neuronal Microenvironment written by Alan A. Boulton and published by Neuromethods. This book was released on 1988-05-09 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Techniques in the neurosciences are evolving rapidly. There are currently very few volumes dedicated to the methodology - ployed by neuroscientists, and those that are available often seem either out of date or limited in scope. This series is about the methods most widely used by modern-day neuroscientists and is written by their colleagues who are practicing experts. Volume 1 will be useful to all neuroscientists since it concerns those procedures used routmely across the widest range of s- disciplines. Collecting these general techniques together in a single volume strikes us not only as a service, but will no doubt prove of exceptional utilitarian value as well. Volumes 2 and 3 describe all current procedures for the analyses of amines and theirmetabolites and of amino acids, respectively. These collections will clearly be of value to all neurosclentists working m or contemplating research in these fields. Similar reasons exist for Volume 4 on receptor binding techniques, since experimental details are provided for all types of ligand-receptor binding, including chapters on general principles, drug discovery and development, and a most useful appendix on computer programs for Scatchard, nonlinear, and competitive d- placement analyses. Volume 5 provides procedures for the asse- ment of enzymes involved in biogenic amine synthesis and catabolism. Volumes in the NEUROMETHODS series will be useful to neurochemists, -pharmacologists, -physiologists, -anatomlsts, psychopharmacologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and chemists (organic, analytical, pharmaceutical, medicinal); in fact, everyone involved in the neurosciences, both basic and clinical.

Download or read book Translational Research in Traumatic Brain Injury written by Daniel Laskowitz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant source of death and permanent disability, contributing to nearly one-third of all injury related deaths in the United States and exacting a profound personal and economic toll. Despite the increased resources that have recently been brought to bear to improve our understanding of TBI, the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches has been disappointingly slow. Translational Research in Traumatic Brain Injury attempts to integrate expertise from across specialties to address knowledge gaps in the field of TBI. Its chapters cover a wide scope of TBI research in five broad areas: Epidemiology Pathophysiology Diagnosis Current treatment strategies and sequelae Future therapies Specific topics discussed include the societal impact of TBI in both the civilian and military populations, neurobiology and molecular mechanisms of axonal and neuronal injury, biomarkers of traumatic brain injury and their relationship to pathology, neuroplasticity after TBI, neuroprotective and neurorestorative therapy, advanced neuroimaging of mild TBI, neurocognitive and psychiatric symptoms following mild TBI, sports-related TBI, epilepsy and PTSD following TBI, and more. The book integrates the perspectives of experts across disciplines to assist in the translation of new ideas to clinical practice and ultimately to improve the care of the brain injured patient.
