Diffusion Tensor Tractography of the Brainstem Pyramidal Tract: A Study on the Optimal Reduction Factor in Parallel Imaging

대한영상의학회지, 2016
Purpose Parallel imaging mitigates susceptibility artifacts that can adversely affect diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) of the pons depending on the reduction (R) factor. We aimed to find the optimal R factor for DTT of the pons that would allow us to

An atlas of white matter anatomy, its variability, and reproducibility based on constrained spherical deconvolution of diffusion MRI

NeuroImage, 2022
Virtual dissection of white matter (WM) using diffusion MRI tractography is confounded by its poor reproducibility. Despite the increased adoption of advanced reconstruction models, early region-of-interest driven protocols based on diffusion tensor ...

The Role of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Intracranial Cavernous Malformation Surgery: A Narrative Review [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences
Cavernous malformations, also known as cavernous hemangiomas or cavernomas, are abnormal vascular lesions that can occur in various parts of the body, including intracranially.

Motor Evoked Potentials Improve Targeting in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives One of the main challenges posed by the surgical deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure is the successful targeting of the structures of interest and avoidance of side effects, especially in asleep surgery. Here, intraoperative motor evoked potentials (MEPs) might serve as tool to identify the pyramidal tract.

The pyramidal syndrome and the pyramidal tract: a brief historical note [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2011
The discovery of the pyramidal syndrome and tract is briefly reviewed with emphasis on a few key historical aspects. The pursuit of the relationship between the lateralized deficits resulting from contralateral head trauma begins in the fourth century BC with the Hippocratic School and continues until the present day.

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

Ultrastructural investigation on bovine Brunner's glands

Translational Research in Anatomy, 2019
Brunner’s glands are branched tubulo-acinar glands principally located within the lamina propria and the submucosa of the small intestine of mammals. Previous histochemical studies of Brunner’s glands in cattle have shown that the glandular lobules can ...

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.

Association Between Motor Pathway Damage and Motor Deficit in Upper and Lower Limb in People With MS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Corticospinal tract damage is common in people with MS, but the degree of clinical symptoms varies. We hypothesize that corticospinal tract lesions are more extensive and severe in people with MS with motor impairments in both upper and lower limbs.

Subclinical Optic Nerve Involvement in Radiologically Isolated Syndrome: Multimodal Detection and Diagnostic Impact

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives We aimed to determine the frequency of subclinical optic nerve (ON) lesions using MRI, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual evoked potentials (VEP) in radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS), and to assess their diagnostic and prognostic significance.
