• Abstract

  One of the major challenges of modern science is to understand the genetic mechanisms behind the healthy aging process. Genome analysis of those who reached nine or more decades of life without any cognitive decline is a promising tool for investigating the genetic factors and variables involved in healthy longevity. In this sense, the objective of this study will be to identify genes inv…

• Abstract

  Motor coordination involves specific neural processes ranging from the perception of the stimulus until execution of the answer, being dependent in sensorimotor integration, which is particularly evident in the spinal cord. Injuries in the spinal roots can result in sensory and motor losses, depending on the affected roots. This type of injury has become an important medical problem and c…

• Abstract

  Ventral root avulsion (VRA) is an experimental model of proximal axonal injury at the central/peripheral nervous system interface that results in significant neuronal death. In order to decrease neuronal degeneration and treating such injuries, the reimplantation of avulsed roots is an alternative approach. Such procedure may be done by direct suturing the avulsed roots to the surface of …
