Organ functions in brain

Obesity is heritable. It predisposes to many diseases. The objectives of this study were to create a compendium of genes relevant to feeding behavior (FB) and/or body weight (BW) regulation; to construct and to analyze networks formed by associations between genes/proteins; and to identify the most significant genes, biological processes/pathways, and tissues/organs involved in BW regulation.

The microbiota is a heterogeneous ecosystem consisting of diverse microorganisms unique to an individual, playing a crucial role in maintaining human body homeostasis. The microbiota, as a suggested endocrine organ, is also capable of producing and regulating hormones, playing an important role in food processing, synthesis of vitamins, pathogen displacement, and influencing functions of distant systems and organs.

Information in the brain is often segregated into spatially organized layers that reflect the function of the embedded circuits. This is perhaps best exemplified in the layering, or lamination, of the retinal inner plexiform layer (IPL). The neurites of the retinal ganglion, amacrine and bipolar cell subtypes that form synapses in the IPL are precisely organized in highly refined strata within the IPL.

The thesis is the first study which evaluates the results of formultiple organs resuscitation strategy in brain death potential donors. From the results of this study, it is recommended to optimize the hemodynamics to adequately perfusion of organs after brain death to ensure the functions of the transplanted organs later; the organs should be used in the 24 first hours frombeginning of organ resuscitation (about 12 hours after the declaring of Brain-dead diagnosis Council) because the organ functionsare is the best.

taenoic acid, n-3) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid, n-3) cannot be synthesized by mammals and it must be provided as food supplement. ARA and DHA are the major PUFAs that constitute the brain membrane phospholipid. n-3 PUFAs are contained in fish oil and animal sources, while the n-6 PUFAs are mostly provided by vegetable oils. Inappropriate fatty acids consumption from the n-6 and n-3 families is the major cause of chronic diseases as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

After studying this chapter you will be able to understand: The anatomy of a neuron; the mechanisms of impulse transmission in a neuron; the process that leads to release of neurotransmitters, and what happens at the synapse; how the vertebrate brain integrates information, which leads to an appropriate response; different regions of the brain have different functions.

This is a further development of my last book Brain, Mind, and the Signifying Body(Thibault 2004a). That book was a first step in an overall attempt to rethink meaning-making activity from the perspective of the body-brain system – the signifying body – embedded in its ecosocial semiotic environment.

The body is often divided into body systems. Each system, though performing specific jobs, works together with the other systems. Body systems are made from microscopic building blocks, called cells. A typical cell is only 0.011 inches across. There are about 10 trillion cells in the body. There are many different kinds of cells, such as nerve cells and muscle cells. Many cells of the same kind form tissue, such as nerve and muscle tissue. Two or more different kinds of tissue create an organ, like the brain, stomach, or kidney.

Activation of the superoxide-producing NADPH oxidase Nox1 requires both the organizer protein Noxo1 and the activator protein Noxa1. Here we describe an alternative splicing form of Noxo1, Noxo1c, which is expressed in the testis and fetal brain.

Cranial nerves are involved in head and neck function, and processes such as eating, speech and facial expression. This clinically oriented survey of cranial nerve anatomy and function was written for students of medicine, dentistry and speech therapy, but will also be useful for postgraduate physicians and general practitioners, and specialists in head and neck healthcare (surgeons, dentists, speech therapists, etc.). After an introductory section surveying cranial nerve organization and tricky basics such as ganglia, nuclei and brain stem...

The brain is a physical organ just like the heart or lungs or liver and, as such, its functioning can be affected by our environment, particularly the substances we put in our bodies. I first became aware of smart drugs from an article in Omni magazine some twenty years ago while I was attending college. It was also at that time that I was becoming aware of health foods, and the article so impressed me that, while other students were taking speed and No-Doz to cram for exams, I was gobbling hand-fuls of vitamins. While my approach was undoubtedly too haphazard and belated to have...

The brain and spinal cord compose the Central Nervous System (CNS), which is the control center of the body. Inputs from muscles, involuntary organs, and senses travel through the nerves of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) into the CNS where they are interpreted. Signals may travel within the brain to separate functional areas. Instructions are then sent outward again for voluntary movement and involuntary regulation to complete the endless loop of the nervous system circuitry.

In recent years, great advancements have been made in understanding the mechanisms of the functioning of the human brain. Technological developments such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) have made possible the mapping of the images of cerebral activity from hemodynamic, metabolic or electromagnetic measurements.

uclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can now be used to investigate the biochemical energetics of human tissues and organs noninvasively. The method already has increased our understanding of some muscle diseases, has provided information from muscle metabolism about whole-body functions, control, and hormonal status, has helped in the elucidation of hitherto unrecognized causes of disease, and yielded new ideas about the control of bioenergetics in vivo. Studies on the biochemistry of human brain, liver, heart, and kidney are just beginning.
