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.

Cholinergic neurotransmission and the developing brain

December 1, 2013April 28, 2015 Àngels Garcia-Cazorla Brain networks, Cellular neurochemistry, Neuropaediatric diseases and synapsis, Neurotransmitters, Synaptic metabolism

What do you know about acetylcholine? What about its role in the developing brain? Are there diseases of the central nervous system due to abnormal cholinergic transmission in paediatrics? Our current knowledge about disorders of neurotransmission in children is focused on transmitters such as dopamine, serotonin or GABA. By contrast little is known about the […]

Serotonin and cortical architecture

July 30, 2013April 28, 2015 Àngels Garcia-Cazorla Brain networks, Cellular neurochemistry, Development and differentiation, Neuropaediatric diseases and synapsis, Neurotransmitters, Synaptic metabolism

The neurotransmitters sculpt the brain Serotonin is an abundant neurotransmitter in the brain. During development, serotonin regulates processes such as neuronal migration and dendrite differentiation through some particular 5HT receptors. Abnormal serotoninergic neurotransmission during early periods of life may disrupt the construction of cortical circuits and contribute to neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders. The human […]

New insights on Human Connectome

June 25, 2013April 28, 2015 María José Mas Brain networks

Resting state fMRI provides powerful information on neuron connectivity at an individual cellular level. An increasing number of publications in the last decade have highlighted a growing interest, not only in the anatomical connections between neurons but also in the functional and metabolical connections between them. This work studying the connection to and from a single neuron, […]
