The effect of chronic constriction injury of rat sciatic nerve on the activation of astrocyte and expression of IL-1β in the anterior cingulate cortex;

Using fluorogold (FG) retrograde tract-tracing technique, the afferent projection of the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) was investigated in the rat.

Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), an important part of the limbic system, has extensive connections with other cortical areas and subcortical nuclei and is involved in modulating many functions.

Using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) retrograde tracing technique,the pathway that anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) modulates sensory information of thalamic ventrobasal (VB) nucleus was investigated.

Although a large number ofstudies, which mainly focus on the glutamatergic excitatory system, show theinvolvement of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in pain-related affect,disinhibition in the ACC has been rare.

The projection from anterior cingulate cortex (area 24) to ventrobasal thalamic nucleus was studied with electrophysiological method, and the effect of ventrohasal thalamic nucleus stimulation on spontaneous activities of anterior cingulate cortex (area 24) neurons was observed.

Clinical study of the efficiency in stereotactic surgery for stubborn mental disorders with different target structures of Callosal gyrus;

To investigate feasibility and effect of schizophrenia treatment by stereotactic lesioning, CRW stereotactic apparatus and PICKER spiral CT were used to define nucleus location and RADONICS radiofrequency instruments were used to lesion different subnucleuses of amygdala and the front part of callosal gyrus.
