Mechanism of anoxic depolarization in the brain intracellular Na and Ca ions, and extracellular glutamate and aspartate. Glutamate and aspartate are normally present as the brain's primary excitatory neurotransmitters, but high concentrations activate a number of downstream apoptotic and necrotic pathways. This results in neuronal dysfunction and death. Neurons function in the central nervous system by generating signals from synapses, and this only works in the proper chemical environment. An electrical signal is mediated by the sodium channels and leaky potassium channels in which intracellular K ion concentration is higher than its corresponding extracellular concentration, whereas extracellular concentrations of Na, Ca, and Cl ions are higher than
General Data Format for Biomedical Signals BioSig library provides implementations for reading and writing of GDF in GNU Octave/MATLAB and C/C++. A lightweight C++ library called libGDF is also available and implements version 2 of the GDF format. General Data Format for Biomedical Signals The General Data Format for Biomedical Signals is a scientific and medical data file format. The aim of GDF is to combine and integrate the best features of all biosignal file formats into a single file format. The original GDF specification was introduced in 2005 as a new data format to overcome some of the limitations of the European Data Format for
