Su-Chun Zhang, a professor of neuroscience and neurology, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison published a study in April 2013 demonstrating that human stem cells can successfully implant themselves in the brains of mice and heal neurological deficits. Zhang cultivated the human stem cells in his lab. He then caused damage to a part
A significant block to spontaneous brain repair following closed head trauma is intra-cerebral bleeding. Free blood in the brain is toxic to new brain cells that could be developed from stem cells. Research published in the online journal Nature on April 24, 2013 shows that glial cells called oligodendrocytes migrate to the damaged
On April 2, 2013 President Obama announced his initiative to spend $100 million to develop new, more sophisticated brain mapping technologies that would help neuroscientists pinpoint how brain wiring is disturbed in conditions including TBI, Alzheimer’s, autism, and schizophrenia. Current imaging technology is able to show in detail what happens in isolated parts
Consequent to a TBI many soldiers have to deal with headaches, insomnia, and decreased ability to tolerate stress. At the George E. Whalen Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in Salt Lake City, Utah, acupuncture is being used to provide some relief soldiers with these symptoms. With the use of even a few basic points,
The tongue is connected to the brain by thousands of cranial nerve fibers. There are motor fibers running from the brain to the tonue that activate the muscles of the tongue and there are sensory fibers (in the facial and glossopharyngeal nerves) that bring sensations from the tongue to the brain. Very recently
According to the National Institutes of Healh a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is “an injury from a blow, jolt, or penetrating object that disrupts normal functioning of the brain. Causes of TBI include falls, car accidents, sports-related impacts, and penetrating injuries. A TBI can be mild, sometimes called a concussion; serious, causing long-term
For the first time, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging have used a combination of neural imaging methods to discover exactly how the human brain adapts to injury. The research, published in January 2013 issue of Cerebral Cortex, shows that when one brain area loses functionality, a “back-up” team
