Brain Networks

Share

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.

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 […]

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 […]
