Effects of sub-threshold transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on cerebral blood flow

Scientific Reports, 2021
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has shown promise as a non-invasive alternative to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with implantable devices, which has been used to treat drug-resistant epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression ...

Cerebrovascular activity is a major factor in the cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics

NeuroImage, 2022
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) provides physical protection to the central nervous system as well as an essential homeostatic environment for the normal functioning of neurons.

Autonomic arousals contribute to brain fluid pulsations during sleep

NeuroImage, 2022
During sleep, slow waves of neuro-electrical activity engulf the human brain and aid in the consolidation of memories. Recent research suggests that these slow waves may also promote brain health by facilitating the removal of metabolic waste, possibly ...

MRI in multiple myeloma : a pictorial review of diagnostic and post-treatment findings [PDF]

, 2016
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used in the diagnostic work-up of patients with multiple myeloma. Since 2014, MRI findings are included in the new diagnostic criteria proposed by the International Myeloma Working Group.

Local GABA concentration is related to network-level resting functional connectivity

eLife, 2014
Anatomically plausible networks of functionally inter-connected regions have been reliably demonstrated at rest, although the neurochemical basis of these ‘resting state networks’ is not well understood.

Amplitudes of resting-state functional networks – investigation into their correlates and biophysical properties

NeuroImage, 2023
Resting-state fMRI studies have shown that multiple functional networks, which consist of distributed brain regions that share synchronised spontaneous activity, co-exist in the brain.
