The contribution of research in the chemosensory field to advancing knowledge on learning and memory mechanisms has a long tradition. At the middle of the twentieth century, behavioural data provided evidence that taste and olfactory cues led to robust long-lasting memories after single learning episodes. The peculiar features of some of these types of learning, such as conditioned taste aversion in mammals, were a challenge for learning theory at the time, which was modified in order to integrate the new findings. In the following decades, the reliability of the behavioural models favoured the application of anatomical, neurophysiological and pharmacological techniques prompting great progr...
In the spring of 1987, I was in Havana, Cuba, where I was participating in planning a large-scale longitudinal study of the neurophysiological, neurochemical, and behavioral characteristics of cohorts of patients with cerebrovascular disease, depression, senile dementia, schizophrenia, or learning disabilities; and also part of this study were their first-degree blood relatives. This study was the outgrowth of a long-term project on the practical application of computer methods for the evaluation of brain electrical activity related to anatomical integrity, maturational development, and sensory, perceptual;·-and cognitive processes, especially in chil dren. For many years, that project had ...
This book focuses on energy metabolism and brain functions related to Cortical Spreading Depression of Leao (CSD), an important issue in brain pathophysiology. The first part of the book offers a comprehensive overview of the history and early research on CSD, and then discusses the recent advances in the technology used to map and monitor brain mitochondrial NADH redox state and other physiological functions during CSD. The chapters explore the connection between CSD and mitochondrial function under hypoxia, Ischemia and various drugs treatment, and provide a resource to scientists researching the development of CSD during various brain pathophysiological conditions. This book is essential to scientists and students working in the field of bioenergetics of the brain and various organs and tissues in the body. The use of this technology is also crucial and applicable in the neuroscience field.
O Leãově fenoménu postupující redukce (spreading depression) elektroencefalografické aktivity pojednává publikace s ohledem na potřeby specialistů mozkových chorob, elektrofyziologů, neurochemiků a neuroanatomů. Šířenídeprese této aktivity probírá s ohledem na autoregenerační reakce neuronových agregátů a na vztahy k dekortikaci a k syntéze lateralizovaných engramů. Zabývá se elektrickými, chemickými, morfologickými a vývojovými aspekty amechanismem Leãova fenoménu a jeho manifestací. Uvádí překážkové i usnadňující vlivy a věnuje pozornost anodické depolarizaci a významu fenoménu pro výzkum funkční organizace mozku a prořešeny chirurgicky.
