Brain Networks

Brain networks connect levels of organization in the brain and link structure to function. Following some basic concepts of network theory and brain connectivity, this new area of study in neuroscience aims to reveal principles of brain architecture and how structure is essential for a proper function. In this section you will find information about this new approach and how brain networks can be affected by different neuropaediatric disorders.

“Connecting The Growing Brain” http://www.connectingthegrowingbrain.com. Network of paediatric neurologists and basic researchers that aims to understand the developing brain through synaptic communication. Today we are pleased to announce the official launch of the network “Connecting the growing brain” (CGB). We are a group of pediatric neurologists and basic researchers working together to understand how dysfunctions […]

Adequate care for children protects their brain development

Caregivers’ support is crucial to mitigating negative effects of poverty. Poverty impacts brain development negatively. But if parents provide adequate support they can ameliorate those effects. Reference: Luby J., et al. The Effects of Poverty on Childhood Brain Development. JAMA Pediatr, published online October 28, 2013. Poverty has a deleterious effect on child development and neurocognitive […]

Long- and short-term changes can be seen in brain connectivity after reading a novel Brooklyn Art Library by Joel Zimmer on Flickr. “It seems plausible that if something as simple as a book can leave the impression that one’s life has been changed, then perhaps it is powerful enough to cause changes in brain function […]

Mapping the brain: The Human Connectome Project There is an explosion of new techniques to study and understand the mysteries of the brain. The Human Connectome Project is one of these rapid technological advances that will help to elucidate the many pathways and connections that make possible normal brain function and nervous system disorders […]

Interneuronas, GABA y enfermedades neuropediátricas

What do you know about interneurons? Which processes do you think they regulate? How could dysfunction in interneurons and abnormal gabaergic transmission contribute to the pathophysiology of some neuropaediatric disorders? Interneurons were classically described as short-axon neurons with connections between “input” and “output” principal cells and were recognized for their role in modulating excitability via […]
