Neurulation01:30

Neurulation

Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the anterior...

Disorders of the Nervous Tissue

Nervous tissue is a vital component of the human body's communication system, enabling us to perceive and respond to stimuli. However, like all other tissues, it is vulnerable to disorders and diseases that can significantly impact our neurological functioning.
Homeostatic Imbalances:
Alzheimer's disease manifests as a gradual decline in memory and cognitive abilities, attributed to the buildup of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
Parkinson's disease arises from the...
Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue01:15

Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue

In the CNS, neurogenesis, the birth of new neurons from stem cells, is limited to the hippocampus in adults. In other regions of the brain and spinal cord, neurogenesis is almost non-existent due to inhibitory influences from neuroglia, especially oligodendrocytes, and the absence of growth-stimulating cues. The myelin produced by oligodendrocytes in the CNS inhibits neuronal regeneration. Furthermore, astrocytes proliferate rapidly after neuronal damage, forming scar tissue that physically...

Area of Science:

  • Child Neurology
  • Developmental Neuroscience
  • Neuroimmunology

Background:

  • Child neurology investigates the developing human nervous system, considering factors like conductivity, embryology, and neuroimmunology.
  • Neurological examinations rely on symptom localization (vision, strength, coordination, reflexes, sensation) for differential diagnosis.
  • Distinguishing between neurology and psychiatry is challenging due to central nervous system disorders potentially causing mental illnesses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the role of child neurologists in investigating neuro-behavioral disorders.
  • To emphasize the contribution of child neurology to understanding developmental brain disorders.
  • To explore the intersection of neurology and psychiatry in child development.

Main Methods:

  • Neurological examination for symptom localization.
  • Analysis of embryological and neuro-immunological factors.
  • Review of existing literature on neuro-behavioral disorders and child neurology.

Main Results:

  • Child neurologists can contribute to defining neurologically based endophenotypes for disorders like autism.
  • Early behavioral markers preceding formal diagnosis can be identified.
  • Understanding the life-span evolution of neurological disorders is enhanced.

Conclusions:

  • Child neurology plays a crucial role in diagnosing and understanding developmental brain and neuro-behavioral disorders.
  • Collaboration between child neurology and psychiatry is essential for comprehensive patient care.
  • Further research in child neurology can elucidate the mechanisms and progression of various neurological conditions.
