In the immunization process of rabbits with the protein fraction of the water-salt extract from human brain partially and concentrated at 500-600 times was received antiserum revealed brain specific alpha 2-globulin that is not identical to the known cytoplasmatic brain specific antigens. This antigen has got electrophoretic mobility of alpha 2-globulins, molecular weight 90 +/- 10 kD and isoelectric point 4.1-5.4. Develop the procedure for purification of this antigen on the basis of the combination ion change, affinity, hydrophobic chromatography gel-filtration and isochromatofocusing.

Executive functions can be classified into processes of inhibition, working memory and shifting, which together support flexible and goal-directed behaviour and are crucial for both current and later-life outcomes. A large body of literature has identified distinct brain regions critical to performing each of these functions. These findings are however predicated on a piecemeal and single-task approach.

The pituitary gland (PG) plays a central role in the production and secretion of pubertal hormones, with documented links to the increase in mental health symptoms during adolescence. Although literature has largely focused on examining whole PG volume, recent findings have demonstrated associations among pubertal hormone levels, including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), PG subregions, and mental health symptoms during adolescence. Despite the anterior PG's role in DHEA production, studies have not yet examined potential links with transdiagnostic symptomology (i.

It is well established that faces evoke a distinct neural response in the adult and infant brain. Past research has focused on how the infant face-sensitive ERP components (N290, P400, Nc) reflect different aspects of face processing, however there is still a lack of understanding of how these components reflect face familiarity and how they change over time. Further, there are only a few studies on whether these neural responses correlate with other aspects of development, such as infant temperament.

Deep Brain Stimulation is a form of neurostimulation where electrical stimulation is delivered via intracranial electrodes over specific subcortical targets. It has been increasingly used as an alternative to ablative procedures for psychiatric disorders refractory to standard treatments. This review describes the common psychiatric indications for DBS, the current evidence base, putative mechanisms, and future directions.

Background: Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation can be initiated by calcium and tissue factor, which may independently contribute to microvascular and macrovascular thrombosis after injury and transfusion. Previous studies have demonstrated that increased blood storage duration may contribute to thrombotic events. The aims of this study were to first determine the effect of blood product components, age, and hematocrit (HCT) on the aggregability of RBCs, followed by measurement of RBC aggregability in two specific injury models including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hemorrhagic shock.
