Record 3 2022-10-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
  • Nervous System
  • Biochemistry
CONT

SSRIs treat depression by increasing levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is one of the chemical messengers(neurotransmitters) that carry signals between brain nerve cells(neurons). SSRIs block the reabsorption(reuptake) of serotonin into neurons. This makes more serotonin available to improve transmission of messages between neurons. SSRIs are called selective because they mainly affect serotonin, not other neurotransmitters. SSRIs may also be used to treat conditions other than depression, such as anxiety disorders.

Key term(s)
  • selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor
  • selective serotonin re-uptake blocker

French

Domaine(s)
  • Médicaments
  • Système nerveux

CONT

Les ISRS, en inhibant la recapture de la 5-HT [sérotonine] dans la synapse, augmentent sa concentration et donc son efficacité sur les récepteurs sérotoninergiques synaptiques.

Record 4 2019-07-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Nervous System
DEF

... a neuroimaging technology for cognitive and clinical brain research that measures non-invasively the tiny magnetic fields generated by neuronal currents.

CONT

On the clinical side, MEG has been typically indicated for the pre-surgical work-up of severe, drug-resistant epilepsy and the functional pre-surgical mapping of brain tumors. However great potential exists to use MEG to investigate other neurological syndromes and neuropsychiatric disorders(e. g., stroke, dementia, movement disorders, depression, etc.).

Key term(s)
  • magneto-encephalography

French

Domaine(s)
  • Imagerie par résonance magnétique
  • Système nerveux
DEF

Technique d'analyse de l'activité cérébrale utilisant les champs magnétiques émis par le tissu cérébral lui-même [...]

CONT

Les techniques d'électrophysiologie cognitive présentent l'avantage de pouvoir suivre la chronologie des opérations mentales associées aux activations corticales sous-jacentes. Cet accès privilégié à la dynamique cérébrale, quasiment en temps réel, est apparu avec l'électroencéphalographie (EEG) et est désormais optimisé avec la magnétoencéphalographie (MEG). Cette technique, grâce à l'enregistrement de champs magnétiques cérébraux, permet d'explorer l'activité cérébrale liée aux processus cognitifs avec une meilleure résolution spatiale que celle de l'EEG.

Key term(s)
  • magnéto-encéphalographie

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Tomografía por resonancia magnética
  • Sistema nervioso
DEF

Procedimiento diagnóstico no invasivo que consiste en la medición y registro de la señales magnéticas proporcionales a las ondas electroencefalográficas que emanan de la actividad eléctrica del cerebro.

Medicine is a diverse, flexible field. Physicians may work in labs, health clinics, government offices, military settings or in business. At the clinical level, doctors may care for seniors, children, athletes or those with specific health challenges such as brain, heart or digestive disorders. They often work in teams comprising the patient and patient's family, friends and caregivers, plus other health professionals.
