New therapeutic target of intractable epilepsy identified in pediatric tumors

To globalize your research join: Brain Disorders Conferences Neuroscience Conferences

 Pediatric brain tumors are characterized by frequent complications due to intractable epilepsy compared to adult brain tumors. However, the genetic cause of refractory epilepsy in pediatric brain tumors has not been elucidated yet, and it is difficult to treat patients because the tumors do not respond to existing antiepileptic drugs and debilitate children's development. The research has been conducted by ateam led by Professor Jeong Ho Le.

 A Korean research team led by Professor Jeong Ho Lee of the Graduate School of Medical Science and Engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has recently identified a neuronal BRAF somatic mutation that causes intrinsic epileptogenicity in pediatric brain tumors. Their research results were published online in Nature Medicine. DOI: 10.1038/s41591-018-0172-x

Parkinson's disease and Neurosurgery

The first-line treatment for   Parkinson disease (PD), levodopa paired with carbidopa , did more than revolutionize treatment for PD when it entered use in the 1960s, it also largely replaced the use of neurosurgeries , especially pallidotomy and thalamotomy, that had been used in PD care since the beginning of the 20th century. When it became evident that patients would experience dyskinesias and on/off periods after long-term use of levodopa, whether from the drug itself or from the disease's progression, attention returned to pallidotomy and thalamotomy in the 1990s. Several experimental therapies for PD have so far dead-ended. Gamma-knife thalamotomy enjoyed brief interest but has now fallen by the wayside for PD nearly everywhere because of its high-risk adverse effect profile, Dr Martello said. Stem cell transplantation has similarly shown too many adverse effects, and gene therapy simply has not shown much benefit. To explore more insights on Brain Disorders Co...

Which part wakes up the brain during development?

Its the Thalamus which wakes up the brain during its development. "To be functional as a dreaming, seeing, and thinking entity the brain need to achieve two milestones: continuity, which means that the brain is always active and state dependence, meaning brain activity is modulated by sleep, waking, and attention. The circuit mechanisms behind the development of continuity and state dependence in the brain have remained unknown, but have been widely assumed to be located in the cerebral cortex, the convoluted brain structure responsible for thought and perception."

Differences in Brains of Women and Men with Schizophrenia

Researchers have identified key differences between the way males and females with schizophrenia process the emotional states of others than those without the condition. The study reports those with schizophrenia use less complex brain regions than healthy controls to process other people’s emotions. The research team   from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai  found that females without schizophrenia used more complex areas of their brains to identify someone else’s mental state, including other’s beliefs, desires, intentions, and emotions. The healthy males used less complex brain regions to process others’ mental states.Both women and men with schizophrenia used less complex brain regions to process the emotional states of others. Men with schizophrenia used less complex brain regions for processing than healthy men. #BrainDisordersConferences #NeurologyConferences #NeurologyCongress #NeurologistsMeeting #NeuroscienceConferences #DementiaConf...
