As the name implies, the technique involves electrical currents flowing through electrodes in random pulses, activating neurons
in multiple brain areas.
BDNF levels have also been shown to be reduced in the brains of individuals with Rett syndrome and in
multiple brain areas of Mecp2 - deficient mice.
«Re-entry», as Edelman states, «provides the critical means by which the activities of
distributed multiple brain areas are linked, bound, and then dynamically altered in time during perceptual categorization.
The results showed that in all the patients with Parkinson's disease,
multiple brain areas communicated less with the rest of the brain as compared to the control group.
By studying other parts of the brain in both humans and monkeys, however, a team from Johns Hopkins University has now concluded that last - minute decision - making is a lot more complicated than previously known, involving complex neural coordination
among multiple brain areas.
The control group without MAb administration showed PD pathology in
multiple brain areas over time, while the mice treated with Syn303 showed significantly reduced pathology in the same areas.
The brain's basic functions — such as planning, decision - making, and behavior —
require multiple brain areas and many thousands or millions of neurons, generating complex patterns of neural activity.
Brain damage — from stroke, for example — often
impairs multiple brain areas, he said, complicating the task of identifying the cognitive contributions of specific brain structures.
Consistent with the findings using the trait measure of sensitivity to rejection, individuals carrying the G allele also had greater levels of neural response to this rejection episode
within multiple brain areas known to be involved in the processing of physical pain (dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula).
