Diffusion Tensor Imaging Studies on Recovery of Injured Optic Radiation: A Minireview
The optic radiation (OR) is a visual neural fiber pathway for the transfer of visual information from the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus to the primary visual cortex.

Retinal Imaging Techniques for Neurodegenerative Diseases: Parkinson's Disease and Beyond
With the global population aging, the sharply rising number of patients with Parkinson's disease burdens society much. Building on the shared embryonic origin of retina and the central nervous system, retinas of patients with Parkinson's disease show similar pathology. This review summarizes advances in noninvasive in vivo retinal imaging for detecting

New species and new records in Agarista (Ericaceae) from the Peruvian Andes
Agarista (Ericaceae) is currently represented in Peru by three species. Here, we update this number to five, adding new taxa based on the recognition of a taxonomic novelty and new records. The new species Agarista eugeniifolia differs from all congeneric species by an abaxially sulcate midvein.

International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force recommendations for systematic sampling and processing of brains from epileptic dogs and cats [PDF]
Traditionally, histological investigations of the epileptic brain are required to identify epileptogenic brain lesions, to evaluate the impact of seizure activity, to search for mechanisms of drug-resistance and to look for comorbidities.

Immunolocalization of Dynamin I Protein in Projection Neurons of the Visual System of the Adult Cat
We here report on the immunolocalization of Dynamin I (Dyn I) in neurons of the visual system of the cat. The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) complex displayed abundant Dyn I immunoreactivity in typical relay cells of the X-, Y- and W-pathway.

Subcortical gray matter aging and attentional control in amateur musicians and nonmusicians
108 adults aged 20 to 88 years were recruited, including 34 singers, 37 instrumentalists, and 37 active nonmusicians. Participants completed an auditory selective attention task and a visual inhibition task. MRI images were acquired to examine the relationship between subcortical volumes and attention in these groups.

Relationships between human auditory cortical structure and function [PDF]
The human auditory cortex comprises multiple areas, largely distributed across the supratemporal plane, but the precise number and configuration of auditory areas and their functional significance have not yet been clearly established.
