Quantum Physics in Neuroscience and Psychology: A New Theory With Respect to Mind/Brain Interaction [PDF]
The cognitive frame in which most neuropsychological research on the neural basis of behavior is conducted contains the assumption that brain mechanisms per se fully suffice to explain all psychologically described phenomena. This assumption stems from the idea that the brain is made up entirely of material particles and fields, and that all causal ...

Torticollis as a Rare Presentation of Cerebellopontine Angle Choroid Plexus Papilloma in Children [PDF]
Background and Importance: The rare intracranial neoplasms are Choroid Plexus Papillomas (CPPs), especially in the cerebellopontine angle. The main location of choroid plexus papillomas in adults and children are 4th ventricle and lateral ventricles ...

Semi-Automatic 3-D Segmentation of Anatomical Structures of Brain MRI Volumes using Graph Cuts [PDF]
We present a semi-automatic segmentation technique of the anatomical structures of the brain: cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. The method uses graph cuts segmentation with an anatomic template for initialization.

Association between Neuroimaging Scores and Clinical Status in Pediatric Patients Diagnosed with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy [PDF]
Purpose Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by arylsulfatase A deficiency, which leads to progressive demyelination in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, resulting in significant gross motor ...

Locoregional heterogeneity of glioblastoma entails pro- or antitumorigenic effects of tumor associated mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
Among other cell lines of the tumor microenvironment, mesenchymal stem cells play an important role in glioma progression. However, many diverging aspects were shown throughout the complex interaction between mesenchymal stem cells and tumor cells.

Catalyzing Equity in STEM Teams: Harnessing Generative AI for Inclusion and Diversity [PDF]
Collaboration is key to STEM, where multidisciplinary team research can solve complex problems. However, inequality in STEM fields hinders their full potential, due to persistent psychological barriers in underrepresented students' experience. This paper documents teamwork in STEM and explores the transformative potential of computational modeling and ...

Finite Element Formulation for a Poroelasticity Problem Stemming from Mixture Theory [PDF]
A finite element formulation is developed for a poroelastic medium consisting of an incompressible hyperelastic skeleton saturated by an incompressible fluid. The governing equations stem from mixture theory and the application is motivated by the study of interstitial fluid flow in brain tissue.

Intramedullary gangliogliomas: histopathologic and molecular features of 25 cases [PDF]
Gangliogliomas are uncommon glioneuronal tumors, which usually arise in the cerebral hemispheres and occasionally in the brain stem. Gangliogliomas occurring in the spinal cord are extremely rare. In this study, we analyzed the clinical, histopathologic,
