The complexity of the entire nervous system can be overwhelming however, having some general information is helpful. Let s begin by taking a look at the central nervous system and in particular the brain. Advances in the neurosciences, especially newer neuro-imaging techniques (such as MRI, PET, and SPECT scanning), have allowed researchers to identify more precisely which brain structures are im-... 

HE per se does not induce any stmctural or functional changes that can be detected by neuro-imaging — neither by CCT nor by magnetic resonance imaging. The characteristic bilateral symmetric pallidal hyperintensities which are present in up to 90% of the patients with liver cirrhosis indicate porto-caval shunting and... 

Nervous system Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, which is characterized by neurological symptoms and bilateral posterior hemispheric edema on neuro-imaging, has been reported in a 19-year-old woman after she had taken an over-the-counter cold remedy containing pseudoephedrine pi ]. TTie clinical manifestations and radiological abnormalities resolved after antihypertensive therapy and withdrawal of pseudoephedrine.

There is, of course, no way of classifying the infinite permutations and combinations of visionary elements. The cortex contains file-cards for billions of images from the history of the person, of the race, and of living forms. Any of these, at the rate of a hundred million per second (according to neuro-physiologists), can flood into awareness. Bobbing around in this brilliant, symphonic sea of imagery is the remnant of the conceptual mind.

Both these 5-hydroxyindoles are natural compounds, playing an important role in the brain. 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) 315 is the metabolic precursor for the neuro-transmitter serotonin melatonin 316 is a neurohormone involved in the regulation of chronobiological rhythms such as sleep and fertility. They have been labelled with F-18, for in vivo metabolic imaging with PET, in reaction of dilute [ F]fluorine gas with melatonin or with 5-hydroxytryptophan in hydrogen fluoride " at — 70 °C (equation 134),...

Brain. - The contribution of NMR in the study of lactate metabolism in the brain has been reviewed. A review of the measurement of neuro-glial metabolism by in vivo NMR has been produced. The use of H-detected NMR for the study of brain metabolism has been reviewed. A review of NAA in the vertebrate brain has been produced. " NMR spectroscopy and imaging methods for studies of neurodegenerative diseases in rodent models has been reviewed. ...
