Abstract:

This study mainly deals with the various aspects of modeling the learning processes within the brain limbic system and studying the various aspects of using it for different applications in control engineering. The current study is a multi-aspect research effort which not only requires a background of control engineering, but also a basic knowledge of some biomorphic systems. The main focus of this study is on biological systems which are involved in emotional processes. In mammalians, a part of the brain called the limbic system is mainly responsible for emotional processes. Therefore, genera

Abstract:

The current prevailing notion is that the limbic system is inextricably linked to emotion, and indeed, most textbooks, research articles, and scientific lectures tout the limbic system as being the predominant purveyor of emotional processing in the brain. Yet, more than a half-century of research has produced surprisingly little evidence in support of such a notion, suggesting that the concept of an emotional limbic system is overly simplistic. The primary objective of this thesis is to determine whether the limbic system

Abstract:

Despite extensive research in the field of aging neuroscience, it still remains unclear whether age related cortical changes can be detected in different functional networks of younger adults and whether these networks respond identically to healthy aging. We collected high-resolution brain anatomical data from 56 young healthy adults (mean age = 30.8 +/- 8.1 years, 29 males). We performed whole brain parcellation into seven functional networks, including visual, somatomotor, dorsal attention, ventral attention, limbic, frontoparietal and default mode networks. We estimated intracranial volume

Abstract:

<p>Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) catalyses prostaglandin synthesis from arachidonic acid during inflammation. COX-2 is expressed in the normal brain and is induced in neurological disorders. There is evidence that COX-2 is involved in secondary events leading to cell death in the brain. The first objective was to study the expression of COX-2 in the brain after kainate (KA)-induced limbic seizures and brain trauma caused by controlled cortical contusion (CCC) and fluid percussion injury (FPI). COX-2 mRNA and protein were strongly induced by limbic seizures in the hippocampus, amygdala and piriform

Abstract:

The brain has a tightly regulated environment that protects non-regenerating post-mitotic neurons and limits inflammation, which led to its description as a site of ‘immune privilege’. For example, viral and bacterial stimuli elicit a weaker immune response within the brain than following systemic application; injection of pathogenic stimuli into the brain leads to significantly less, if any, monocyte recruitment, T-cell priming and B-cell antibody production when compared to systemic applications over the same time period. However, the difference between the immune response of the brain and

<p>Neuroimaging and neurophysiology techniques were used to study some aspects of cortical sensory and motor system reorganisation in patients in the chronic phase after stroke.

Structural changes of the CFT were also associated with functional changes in the corticospinal pathways, measured using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

Abstract:

It is acknowledged that the genre of animated documentary is particularly suited to depicting the subjective point of view (Wells, 1997, Honess Roe, 2013). It has also been suggested that animated documentary may have a tendency toward collaborative working methods (Ward, 2005: 94). This PhD work explores and expands these suggestions and presents the development of a methodology adapted from what has been termed collaborative ethnography (Lassiter, 2005) when using animation to document perceptual brain states.

Difficulties exist with measuring functional upper limb (UL) change following Botulinum Toxin-A (BTX-A) injections for muscle spasticity in adults with acquired brain injury (ABI).

Further, the complex nature of the upper motor neuron syndrome with the interplay of positive and negative features requires improved measures which evaluate both features simultaneously, such as emerging UL measures: Dynamic Computerised hand Dynamometry (DCD) and the Upper Limb Performance Analysis (ULP
