  • A new instrument for early detection of Alzheimer's disease is constructed from the investigative items with both the investigation of living environment, and the functional tests of the sense, the physiology, and the left and right brains. This paper describes the indexes obtained from the results of test using a new instrument for early detection of Alzheimer's disease. The indexes for early detection of Alzheimer's disease were obtained from the investigations of the living environment and the social adaptability, the functional tests of the sight and the hearing in the five senses, and the functional tests of left hemispheres in brain.

  • In this paper, the authors introduce the concepts of neural computer systems which have been studied over 25 years in other countries. And also we illustrate the models of neural networks suggested by researchers. Our fundamental hypothesis is that these models are applicable to the construction of artificial neural systems including neural computers. Therefore we assume that neural computer systems are abstract computer systems based on the computational properties of human brains and particularly well suited for problems in vision and language understanding.

  • Anyone observes that information processing in animal brains is depended on neural networks. On the other hand, engineering models for the neural networks are well known now, and they have been studied, and learning facility is found in the model. We are sure there is a potential in order to create a non Neuman-machine in the engineering models. We studied iteration forms including the engineering neural network models, taking a first step for the creation.

  • beta-Amyloid peptide is considered to be responsible for the formation of senile plagues that accumulate in the brains of patients with Alzheimers disease. There has been a paucity of evidence to support the involvement of reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species (ROS and/or RNS) in beta-amyloid-induced neuronal cell death. (omitted)

  • Formally, we may define cognitive science as the convergent study between symbolic and connectionist approaches at macro and micro levels. Since what we refer to as the human mind is regarded as a mathematical product of the human brain and the computing machine, we can obtain two mathematical dynamical projections: one from the set of human brains to the set of mind, the other from the set of computing machines to the set of mind. Then, we are having a new projection from the classical models to the quantum mind.

  • Inflammatory as well as oxidative tissue damage has been associated with pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to retard the progress of AD. In this study, we have investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying oxidative and inflammatory cell death induced by beta-amyloid (Abeta), a neurotoxic peptide associated with senile plaques formed in the brains of patients with AD, in cultured PC12 cells.

  • There is a critical developmental period during which brain sexual differentiation proceeds irreversibly under the influence of gonadal hormone. Recently, kinesin superfamily-associated protein 3 (KAP3) gene expressed during the 'critical period' of rat brain differentiation was identified by us (Choi and Lee, 1999). KAP3 functions as a microtubule-based motor that transports membranous organelles anterogradely in cells, including neurons (Yamazaki et al., 1996). mRNA level of KAP3 gene markedly increased before the initiation of puberty. Neonatal treatment of estrogen clearly inhibited the prepubertal increase in KAP3 mRNA level (Choi and Lee, 1999). In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), as endocrine disruptors (EDs) on the expression of KAP3 gene during the 'critical period' of rat brain development. In our data, PCBs significantly decreased the expression of KAP3 gene in the fetal (day 17) and the neonatal (day 6 after birth in) male and female rat brains. The body weight and the breeding ability were significantly decreased in the PCBs-exposed rats compared with the control. These results showed that PCBs affect the transcriptional level of brain sexual differentiation related gene, KAP3, in the fetal and the neonatal rat brains. The maternal exposure to the PCBs may lead to toxic response in embryonic brain sexual differentiation and breeding ability after sexual maturation. This study indicates that KAP3 gene may be useful as a gene marker to analyze the molecular mechanism of toxic response in the animal brain development and sexual maturation exposed to PCBs.
