Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Is Associated With Higher R2 Relaxation Rate: An MRI and Pathology Study
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves β‐amyloid deposition in the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal small vessels. Transverse relaxation rate (R2) is a major source of contrast in MRI. This study tested the hypothesis that CAA is associated with R2, extracted the spatial pattern of CAA‐related R2 abnormalities, and evaluated ...

Electrical conduction in TiO2 [PDF]
This paper reports the results of an experimental examination of the dc and ac properties of TiO2 in single-crystalline and anodic thin-film form. The single crystal and the thin film appear to obey the same dc conductivity law Iαexp V1/2 over the range investigated. Their ac characteristics are similar as well.

Electrical Conductivity of Nanoscale Hydrophobic Porous Media: Surface Charge Density and Heterogeneous Pore Structure [PDF]
Electrical conductivity is an inherent property of a hydrophobic porous media (HPM) and has critical applications. This research aims to provide a solution for predicting the electrical conductivity of nanoscale HPM with heterogeneous pore structure. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are compared with the modified Poisson-Boltzmann (MPB) model for ...

ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY AT THE CORE OF A MAGNETAR [PDF]
An expression for the electrical conductivity at the core of a magnetar is derived using Boltzmann kinetic equation with the relaxation time approximation. The rates for the relevant scattering processes, e.g., electron–electron and electron–proton scattering processes are evaluated in presence of strong quantizing magnetic fields using tree level ...

Cortical Excitability Before and After Long‐Term Perampanel Treatment for Epilepsy
ABSTRACT Objective Antiseizure medications (ASMs), which may influence cortical excitability, are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps evaluate cortical excitability. We assessed changes in TMS responses using serial TMS measurements in people treated with an adjunctive noncompetitive AMPA‐receptor ...

Evaluation of Performance for Human In-Vivo Conductivity Estimation from EEG and sEEG Recorded in Simultaneous with Intracerebral Electrical Stimulation [PDF]
Assigning accurate conductivity values in human head models is an essential factor for performing precise electroencephalographic (EEG) source localization and targeting of transcranial electrical stimulation (TES). Unfortunately, the literature reports diverging conductivity values of the different tissues in the human head. The current study analyzes

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the reliability of very high‐frequency oscillations (VHFOs, 500–2000 Hz) as biomarkers in identifying the epileptogenic zone (EZ) in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) patients. Methods We reviewed 19 MTLE patients who underwent stereo‐electroencephalography‐guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation.

Self-resonant Coil for Contactless Electrical Conductivity Measurement under Pulsed Ultra-high Magnetic Fields [PDF]
In this study, we develop experimental apparatus for contactless electrical conductivity measurements under pulsed high magnetic fields over 100 T using a self-resonant-type high-frequency circuit. The resonant power spectra were numerically analyzed, and the conducted simulations showed that the apparatus is optimal for electrical conductivity ...
