Neurophysiology
is a branch of neuroscience
and physiology concerned with the study and functioning of the nervous system it is also
related to neuroanatomy, psychology, electrophysiology, and its applications in
clinical neurophysiology.
There are a few tools which are elementary to neurophysiological
research, such as electrophysiological recordings which includes
extracellular single-unit recording, patch clamps, and voltage clamps. Calcium
imaging, molecular biology, ontogenetic, and also play a key role into neurophysiology.
Neurological
rehabilitation branch of medicine which can generally
reduce symptoms, improve function to the damage caused by infections, injuries,
degenerative diseases, tumors, structural defects, and disorders in the
circulatory system can be impairing the nervous system. Some of the conditions
that have been benefited from neurological
rehabilitation includes vascular disorders, functional disorders, neuromuscular disorders, degenerative
disorders, like Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington chorea, Alzheimer disease.

Core Fields Covered
A neurological disorder is any
disorder in the nervous system includes structural and electrical abnormalities
in the brain and spinal cord. Some of the examples and symptoms include paralysis,
loss of sensation muscle weakness, poor coordination, seizures, pain,
confusion, and altered levels of consciousness. They may be determined by neurological
examination and studies and treated within the specialties of
neurology and clinical neuropsychology.
Neurological disorders are diseases of the brain, spine and
the nerves that connect them. There are more than thousand diseases related to nervous system,
such as brain tumors, epilepsy, and stroke front temporal dementia…...
Neurosurgery or neurological surgery, is the
medical skill concerned with the, diagnosis, prevention, surgical treatment,
and rehabilitation of disorders which affect any part of the nervous system
including the spinal cord, brain, and extra-cranial cerebrovascular
systemperipheral
nerves.
Alzheimers
disease-it is the more common
type of theneurological disorder in
which death of the brain cells, cognitive decline, and loss of memory. Where it
involves the formation of plaques and tangles in the brain, Amyloid-beta is a
key component of the brain plaques found during extent of Alzheimers disease.
The Edelweiss publications
welcome original manuscripts
related to all neurological
disorders and related aspects.
Symptoms includes reduced ability to
remember information, Impairments to reasoning, Changes in behavior Personality
the progression of Alzheimer in three main stages, preclinical, before symptoms
appear, dementia, mild cognitive impairment. In some cases, genetic testing may be done.
The people with APOE-e4 gene will have higher chances of getting this disease at the age of 55
years. By performing this test can indicate person having or developing the
disease. The emerging biological tests make it possible to assess for
biomarkers in people with the risk of Alzheimers. There is no
known cure for Alzheimer. As the dead brain cell cannot be regenerated.
Parkinsons
disease - Parkinsonism is a neurological
syndrome
characterized by rigidity, tremor, hyperkinesia, postural instability. A person
with Parkinsons disease has untypically low dopamine levels dopaminergic
neurons (types of nerve cells) in the substantianigra part of the brain
will died (Dopamine-generating cells). A neurological syndrome usually emanate
from deficiency of the neurotransmitter
dopamine as the result of vascular degenerative and inflammatory changes in
the basal ganglia. Although this disease is not leads to direct cause of death,
it is a slow progressive disease, and symptoms get worse over time and it is
chronic disease - a long-term disease and is incurable. No specific test exists
to diagnose Parkinsons
disease. Parkinsons disease based on medical history, signs and symptoms. A Single-Photon
Emission by Computerized Tomography (SPECT)
scan called a Dopamine
Transporter (DAT) scan used to determine the Parkinsons disease.
Huntington
chorea: It is a progressive
neurodegenerative disorder and it is characterized by behavioral changes, mood
disorders, cognitive impairments this disorder leads to death. It is a mutation
of the HTT gene is called huntingin. This gene involve in the
chemical signaling, transporting materials protecting the cell from apoptosis.
It is a trinucleotide repeat mutation disorder, under normal conditions HTT
gene has a CAG repeats. Under abnormal conditions CAG repeats increases
significantly. These extra repeats results in gene abnormality in area of Exon
1 which resulted in elongated protein breaks in to smaller, toxic fragments
binds and accumulate in neurons results in the abnormal functioning.
The Journal
of Neurophysiology and Rehabilitation running by Edelweiss publications
accepts all the research work, commentaries, review articles, case reports,
many more articles related to Huntington chorea.
Brain and Spinal Tumors
- are abnormal growths of tissue found inside the skull or the bony spinal
column, which are the part of the central nervous system. Benign tumors are
noncancerous that cant be completely removed may require treatment such as
chemotherapy or radiation, and malignant tumors are cancerous grow quickly and
spread to surrounding tissue and may return after treatment. Tumors that
originate in the brain or spinal cord are called primary tumors. One of the
noninvasive treatments with the noninvasive treatment with the Gamma
Knife and Cyber
Knife can treat tumors. Editorial board ensures a rapid peer review process
helping Edelweiss Publications
to run it successfully.
Central
Cord Syndrome - is a form of
incomplete spinal cord injury characterized by impairment in the arms and hands
and to a lesser extent in the legs. The brains ability to send
and receive signals to and from parts of the body below the site of injury is
reduced but not entirely blocked. Symptoms may include paralysis or loss of
fine control of movements in the arms and hands. Research related to
central cord syndrome is invited by Neurophysiology and Rehabilitation journal.
Cerebellar
Degeneration - is a disease
progressive in neurons in the cerebellum that cause cerebellar degeneration and
also interfere with the medulla oblongata, cerebral cortex, and the brain stem.
Manuscripts related to cerebellar degeneration shall be published in Neurophysiology and Rehabilitation journal. You can submit
us using the email id neuro@edelweisspublications.org
Encephalopathy-It
is neuropsychiatric abnormalities in liver, dysfunction and other known brain
disease. It is characterized by, intellectual impairment personality changes,
and a depressed level of consciousness. More research done on encephalopathy is
welcome, we shall publish research/review/case reports in Neurophysiology and Rehabilitation journal.
Therapies:
Apart from the issue of a cure,
patients with neurological disorders will be placed in rehabilitation. To restore the lost function, therapies for neurological disorders
consist of Physiotherapy to manage the symptoms and restore
some functions. Medication is taken to restore the function or prevent magnify
of the patients condition. Cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT)
focuses on reorientation of a patients behavior related to their disability, it
has shown considerable effect in the treatment of ADHD and anxiety.

Current
therapeutic for the treatment of anxiety
is associated with a wild variety of prominent side effects. The traditional
use of plant extract to health care can indicate an important source of new
pharmaceuticals. In Morocco traditional medicine, the use of Mercurialis annua is commonly
recommended for relief of anxiety. Nevertheless, despite its popular use there
are no studies related to its possible neuropharmacological
effect.
Here,
we investigated the possible anxiolytic effect of the extract of M.annua after acute treatment in mice.
The methanolic extract from the aerial parts of M.annua (100, 200 or 400 mg/kg) was orally administered, and its
anxiolytic effect was evaluated in hole board test, the light–dark box test,
and motor coordination with the rota rod test. Diazepam
was employed as standard drug 1mg/kg.
The methanolic
extract of Ma 100 mg/kg increased the time spent in the brightly-lit chamber of
the light/dark box, as well as in the number of times the animal crossed from
one compartment to the other. Performance on the rota rod was unaffected. In
the whole board test, the extract significantly increased head-dip counts.
These results provides support for anxiolytic activity of Mercurialis
annua, in line with its medicinal traditional use, and may also suggest
a better side-effect profile of Mercurialis
annua relative to diazepam.

Cumulative cerebral injury from motor vehicle-induced whole
body vibration has not been demonstrated thus far. Our lab has demonstrated
isolated cerebral injury from whole body vibration and we
believe that repetitive vibration can cause cumulative insults, impairing cerebral function. A simulated motor vehicle-induced
whole body vibration study was conducted with fifty-six Sprague-Dawley rats divided into seven groups
(N=8): (1) 8-week control group; (2) 8-week vibration group (exposed to whole
body vibration at 30 Hz and 0.5g acceleration for 4 hours/day, 5 days/week for
8 weeks); (3) 8-week vibration group with preconditioning human apolipoprotein
A-I molecule mimetic (4F); (4) 8-week vibration group with post conditioning 4F
peptide; (5) 8-week vibration group with pre and post conditioning 4F peptide;
(6) 12-week control group; and (7) 12-week vibration group (exposed to the same
vibration, 5 days/week for 12 weeks). At the end point, all rats were evaluated
by brain histo-pathological studies.
The pathology demonstrated capillary
constriction with surrounding edema as well as thickened, uneven and damaged
capillary walls. Capillary constriction reduces the oxygen
supply to cerebral neurons, leading to neuronal damage. In the 12-week vibration group,
each effect was more pronounced as compared to the 8-week vibration group.
There was no prominent cerebral capillary damage in the 4F-peptide conditioning
groups. This study showed cumulative cerebral injury from motor vehicle-induced
whole body vibration and demonstrated the preventative effect of 4F-peptide
conditioning.
