LaFerla, Mathew Blurton - Jones and Tritia Yamasaki performed their experiments using a new type of genetically engineered mouse that
develops brain lesions in areas designated by the scientists.
When these mice were housed in chambers that contained normal air containing 21 percent oxygen, the equivalent of what a person would breathe at sea level,
they developed brain lesions and had a median survival length of 58 days.
Animals treated with MSG
developed brain lesions, caused stunted skeletal development and weight gain, and disrupted the neural centers responsible for hormone function [5].

Approximately 30 percent of patients with cancer
develop brain metastases, and the incidence of these
lesions is rising.
By
developing computational models that are constrained by experimental evidence (neuroimaging, single - cell recording, anatomical,
lesion studies), we can generate hypothesis about how
brain networks orchestrate behavior.
And most recently, a study published in The Journal of The American Geriatrics Society investigated how lifting weights affected the
developing of age - related
lesions in the
brains» white matter.
