Molecular Docking studies of Benzodiazepine Derivatives With GABA(B) Receptor
Abstract: Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are pharmacologically significant compounds that act by binding to GABA A neurotransmitter receptors, subsequently augmenting GABA-induced chloride ion flux, consequently inducing neuronal hyperpolarization. Benzodiazepines are commonly used in the treatment of sleep disorders, anxiety, muscle spasms, seizure disorders, and some forms of depression. The primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA, functions on two types of receptors: the ligand-gated GABA A/C receptors and the G protein-coupled GABA B receptors. These neurotransmitters …

Studying the effects of Exposure to Chemicals on The brain and Nervous System and The risk of Chemical Pollution
Abstract: Scientific research and studies on chemical pollution show that exposure of the brain and nervous system to chemicals causes serious damage ranging from cognitive, motor, and nerve cell disorders to chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's and neurological paralysis. These substances (such as lead ions, mercury, solvents that combine and dissolve easily in the blood, and pesticides) disrupt neurotransmitters and cause cell damage, especially during the early stages of body development. …

AI Driven IoT Based Decision Making System for Brain wave study: KSK approach for Brain wave study
Abstract: The rapid convergence of Internet of Things (IoT) architectures and deep learning has unlocked unprecedented potential for real-time neuro-diagnostic monitoring. This paper presents a novel framework for an AI-driven IoT ecosystem designed to capture, transmit, and interpret human electroencephalography (EEG) signals with minimal latency. Traditional brain-computer interface (BCI) studies are often constrained by localized computing power and the high dimensionality of neural data. Our proposed architecture integrates low-power EEG sensors …

Treatment Approaches in Intracranial Hypertension: A Review
Abstract: Intracranial hypertension is considered, when intracranial pressure (ICP) increases above 20 mmHg for a period of more than 5 min. A persistent rise in ICP produces compression effect over cerebral vasculature and reduces cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). It results in brain stem compression and herniation, if left untreated. A systematic assessment of clinical status, serial and continuous monitoring of vital parameters and evidence based therapeutic …
