Acupuncture is the most frequently used treatment method among the complementary
medicine practices. Acupuncture practices mainly affect the somatic and autonomic
nervous systems in the nervous system. It is important to understand the mechanism
of action of acupuncture practices especially in the central nervous system. Electroencephalography
(EEG) is one of the best techniques to explain the effects of acupuncture on the
central ...

Recently, it was extended by the author the declarative/procedural model
to a new semantic/ syntactic/episodic model for language, extended to encompass
the sentential meanings to the neural linguistic processes. In this article, it
is applied this new semantic/syntactic/episodic model of brain to derive three
feasible principles to direct machine translation respectively. First, it is
necessary to establish the dictionary for tra ...

Acupuncture, which is the most commonly used method among traditional and
complementary medicine methods, has recently begun to be used also in pediatric
cases. In the present review, acupuncture procedures performed by acupuncture
needle in pediatric cases were evaluated. Studies have revealed that there are
fields in which acupuncture is beneficial and not recommended for pediatric
diseases. The use of acupuncture is recommended for the treatment of nocturnal
enuresis, pain, nausea-vomiting an...

The recent studies have showed neural stem cells
(NSCs) transplantation promoted repair and functional recovery of chronic
experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) animal model for MS based on the
concept of cell replacement. In the present study, NSCs were transplantated
into each lateral ventricle of rats at 10 days and sacrificed at 60 days after
EAE immunization. We found that NSCs transplantation significantly reduced the
clinical signs, suppressed brain inflammation and improved densi...

The anti-ageing drugs have become the pinnacle of increased focus on biotechnology
and are linked with innovative clinical preventive drugs. The specialty is
initiated on the claim of ground- breaking scientific and medical technologies.
These innovative technologies aim to prevent, treat, and restrict age-related
disorders. This research paper attempted to examine the various types of drugs
and treatments methods for anti-ageing. One of the drugs for anti-ageing cure
is rapamycin, which is a re...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacological effect of
EGb761 on the dynamic alterations of magnesium (Mg) and energy metabolites including
glucose and lactate in brain cortex of gerbil during focal cerebral ischemia. A
single dose of EGb761 (100 mg/kg, i.p.) was given 30 min prior to cerebral ischemic
surgery. Cerebral ischemia was induced by occlusion of the right middle
cerebral artery (RMCA) for 180 minutes. Two microdialysis probes were
stereotaxically implanted bilaterally int...

Generalized spinal cord atrophy is rare. Several causes can be found
responsible for this entity. Marfan syndrome
(MS) is a clinically and allelically heterogeneous, heritable connective tissue
disorder. Previous study has implicated neuromuscular involvement in this
syndrome. Here, we report the description of a patient with generalized spinal
cord atrophy, which may be attributed to MS. Though not all patients represent with
spinal cord atrophy, our case suggests that generalized spinal cord a...

Human
mirror neuron system is believed to provide the basic mechanism for social
cognition. Mirror neurons were first discovered in 1990s in the premotor area
(F5) of macaque monkeys. Besides the premotor area, mirror neuron systems,
having different functions depending on their locations, are found in various
cortical areas. In addition, the importance of cingulate cortex in
mother-infant relationship is clearly emphasized in the literature. Functional
magnetic resonance imaging, electroencepha...

Carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAA) is one of the major high-risk
mechanisms of stroke. Relationship between IMT, carotid plaque echogenicity and
carotid stenosis assessed by ultrasound has not been systemically studied,
especially in subjects with mild to moderate carotid stenosis. In this study we
measured these 3 different ultrasound-derived quantitative traits concurrently
in the community population of southern China and compared their associations.
We found that IMT mean in the ...

Perception is the interpretation of the sensory stimuli received from the
environment. Visual, auditory, and tactile senses are collected and interpreted
in the “General Interpretation Area” (Wernicke’s area). This area alone plays a
much more active role than all other regions of the cortex in the comprehension
of the brain called intelligence. We comprehend the events as a whole with the
combination of the visual, auditory, and tactile perceptions in the Wernicke’s
area; the events remain long...
