A Numerical Model to Study Effect of Potential-Dependent Influx on Calcium Diffusion in Neuron Cells
Abstract: Electrical activity within the brain rapidly encodes information about the world but for these fleeting perceptions to have a lasting impact, long-term changes in the structure and function of neurons must follow. At the synapse, neurotransmitter reception initiates a number of biochemical signaling cascades in the postsynaptic cells, one of the most important of which is the elevation of intracellular calcium. Early events induced by the rise of calcium in …

Identification of the Effects of Brain Stimulation on Neurophysiology in Parkinson’s Disease Patients: Systematic Review
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is after Alzheimer’s disease the most common progressive neurodegenerative disease with prevalence of 150–200/100000. Etiology is not well known except for inheritance. It is associated with various neurophysiologic disorders. The aim is to concise view of various studies about the relation between the brain stimulation either unilateral or bilateral and subthalamic or pallidal on gait patterns, speech defects, cognition, behavior changes, mood swings, tremors and memory. This …

The Effect of Functional Therapy Approach in management of Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Case Study
Abstract: Children with cerebral palsy typically receive physical therapy to facilitate motor development and to enhance their independence in motor skills, self-care, play, and leisure activities. Different treatment strategies exist and all these aim at leading children with cerebral palsy toward the greatest degree of independence possible. In recent years, numerous publications have questioned both the assumptions and the effectiveness of neurophysiological approaches. Functional recovery and carryover has always been reproached. …
