Brainstem disconnection [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Radiology, 2009
Brainstem disconnection is a very rare neonatal abnormality, with only seven cases reported. We report a unique case of a neonate who presented at delivery with hypertonia, dysmorphic facial features, and respiratory distress, as well as numerous musculoskeletal and genitourinary abnormalities. MRI of the brain showed disconnection between the pons and

Continuous facial myokymia in multiple sclerosis

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2020
Facial myokymia is a clinical sign that can occur as a manifestation of demyelinating lesions. As seen in our patient with multiple sclerosis, acute‐onset continuous facial myokymia can be indicative of an active lesion and can have localizing value.

Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis of the Brainstem as a Clinical Entity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare progressive neurological disorder of early adolescence caused by persistent infection of the measles virus, which remains prevalent worldwide despite an effective vaccine. SSPE is a devastating disease

Auditory evoked potentials and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in evaluation of brainstem lesions in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the roles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), auditory evoked potentials (AEP) and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) in the evaluation of brainstem involvement in multiple sclerosis (MS). -

Brainstem auditory evoked responses in brainstem infarction. [PDF]

open access: yesStroke, 1985
Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) were recorded in 40 patients with clinically definite brainstem infarction, and results were compared to localizations from physical signs and CT scans. The BAER was abnormal in 92% of patients with evidence on physical examination of dysfunction of lateral structures in the pons or midbrain.

Brainstem metastases treated with Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery: the Indiana University Health experience [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Brainstem metastases offer a unique challenge in cancer treatment, yet stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has proven to be an effective modality in treating these tumors.

Brainstem Correlates of a Cold Pressor Test Measured by Ultra-High Field fMRI

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
IntroductionModern imaging techniques such as blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allow the non-invasive and indirect measurement of brain activity. Whether changes in signal intensity can be detected in small

The Brainstem-Informed Autism Framework: Early Life Neurobehavioral Markers

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2021
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have long-term implications on functioning at multiple levels. In this perspective, we offer a brainstem-informed autism framework (BIAF) that traces the protracted neurobehavioral manifestations of ASD to early life ...

Challenges to the Vestibular System in Space: How the Brain Responds and Adapts to Microgravity

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
In the next century, flying civilians to space or humans to Mars will no longer be a subject of science fiction. The altered gravitational environment experienced during space flight, as well as that experienced following landing, results in impaired ...

Differential sensitivity of brainstem vs cortical astrocytes to changes in pH reveals functional regional specialization of astroglia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Astrocytes might function as brain interoceptors capable of detecting different (chemo)sensory modalities and transmitting sensory information to the relevant neural networks controlling vital functions.
