Deep Learning-based Segmentation of Cerebral Aneurysms in 3D TOF-MRA using Coarse-to-Fine Framework [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cerebral aneurysm is one of the most common cerebrovascular diseases, and SAH caused by its rupture has a very high mortality and disability rate. Existing automatic segmentation methods based on DLMs with TOF-MRA modality could not segment edge voxels very well, so that our goal is to realize more accurate segmentation of ...

The basal ganglia and thalamus of the long-tailed macaque in stereotaxic coordinates. A template atlas based on coronal, sagittal and horizontal brain sections [PDF]
A stereotaxic brain atlas of the basal ganglia and thalamus of Macaca fascicularis presented here is designed with a surgical perspective. In this regard, all coordinates have been referenced to a line linking the anterior and posterior commissures (ac ...

Troponin elevation in acute ischemic stroke (TRELAS) - protocol of a prospective observational trial [PDF]
Background Levels of the cardiac muscle regulatory protein troponin T (cTnT) are frequently elevated in patients with acute ischemic stroke and elevated cTnT predicts poor outcome and mortality.

Scientific opinion on the tolerable upper intake level for vitamin E
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the revision of the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin E. As α‐tocopherol is recognised as the only essential form of vitamin E, the Panel restricted its evaluation to α ...

Abstract Intracranial electroencephalographic (IEEG) recording, using subdural electrodes (SDEs) and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), plays a pivotal role in localizing the epileptogenic zone (EZ). SDEs, employed for superficial cortical seizure foci localization, provide information on two‐dimensional seizure onset and propagation.

A recommended workflow methodology in the creation of an educational and training application incorporating a digital reconstruction of the cerebral ventricular system and cerebrospinal fluid circulation to aid anatomical understanding [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The use of computer-aided learning in education can be advantageous, especially when interactive three-dimensional (3D) models are used to aid learning of complex 3D structures.

Abstract Objective Focal cooling is emerging as a relevant therapy for drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE). However, we lack data on its effectiveness in controlling seizures that originate in deep‐seated areas like the hippocampus. We present a thermoelectric solution for focal brain cooling that specifically targets these brain structures.

Somatotopy of the sensory thalamus: inputs from directional deep brain stimulation in pain patients
Abstract Objective The sensory ventroposterior (VP) thalamic nuclei display a mediolateral somatotopic organization (respectively head, arm, and leg). We studied this somatotopy using directional VP deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients treated for chronic neuropathic pain.

Constancy and trade-offs in the neuroanatomical and metabolic design of the cerebral cortex [PDF]
Mammalian brains span about 4 orders of magnitude in cortical volume and have to operate in different environments that require diverse behavioral skills. Despite these geometric and behavioral diversities, the examination of cerebral cortex across species reveals that it contains a substantial number of conserved characteristics that are associated ...
