MR‐Guidance of Gene Therapy for Brain Diseases: Moving From Palliative Treatment to Cures
ABSTRACT Regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Europe recently approved a gene therapy for aromatic L‐amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency, a rare neurologic disorder where a genetic mutation prevents dopamine production in the brain. Affected children fail to develop normal motor and cognitive functions.

Distinct causal influences of parietal versus frontal areas on human visual cortex: evidence from concurrent TMS-fMRI [PDF]
It has often been proposed that regions of the human parietal and/or frontal lobe may modulate activity in visual cortex, for example, during selective attention or saccade preparation.

Precise Electrode Co‐Alignment in Deep Brain Stimulation Fusing Neuroimaging and Electrophysiology
ABSTRACT We present a multimodal framework to improve the precision of electrode placement in deep brain stimulation (DBS) by fusing preoperative neuroimaging with intraoperative electrophysiology for accurate electrode co‐alignment. The workflow integrates automated subthalamic nucleus (STN) segmentation from preoperative MRI using a two‐step ...

Ultrasonic visualization of human tissues has aimed at obtaining information simultaneously from a number of different depths from the surface. In consequence, only weakly focused transducers have been employed. In stereotaxic surgery when the highest possible accuracy is essential in three dimensions, it is preferable to sacrifice all other ...

Automated Marker Localization in the Planning Phase of Robotic Neurosurgery
Accurate patient registration is a critical issue in medical image-guided interventions. The neurosurgical robotic system RObotic Neuro-NAvigation (RONNA) uses four retro-reflective spheres, on a marker attached to the patient's cranial bone, for patient

Different strategies in the management of thalamic space-occupying lesions
Introduction Thalamic space-occupying lesions (SOL) are considered challenging for microsurgical removal. Unfortunately, the pathological features of lesions occurring in the thalamic region are different with a wide variation in clinical behavior and ...

Dual enhancement mechanisms for overnight motor memory consolidation [PDF]
Our brains are constantly processing past events<sup>1</sup>. These offline processes consolidate memories, leading in the case of motor skill memories to an enhancement in performance between training sessions.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological condition that consists of both motor and non‐motor symptoms that considerably deteriorate the quality of life. Pharmacological treatments, primarily levodopa, have been used to manage PD. However, side effects such as dyskinesias and motor fluctuations frequently limit
