• Abstract

  For many years neurons were considered as the exclusive protagonists of the brain. In this context, glial cells were considered only as structural elements in areas not occupied by neuronal cells. In recent years, experimental evidence has suggested that these cells have other functions. Some experiments have been demonstrated that astrocytes present in the supraoptic nucleus may trigger …

• Abstract

  I present in this document a proposal of scientific project with the objective of changing scholarship of masters level for a direct doctorate, before my approval on course transference (master to doctorate) happened during the qualification exam. The first objectives proposed on masters project have been achieved until the date, and with the approval to changing of level, we are proposin…

  Gene interference on the dorsol motor of vagus neurons and its influence on the autonomic dysfunctions of spontaneously hypertensive rats, BP.DD

• Abstract

  Glucose is the main energetic source for tissues, including the brain, and can be obtained by diet and also by metabolic processes involving the liver. Uncontrolled levels can be very damaging to the organism, and to prevent it, there are glycemic sensors scattered in regions such as the liver, sympathetic and vagal afferents, and CNS. When activated, the sensors release hormones to norma…
