Development of interactive MRI‐based 3D visualization tools for neuroanatomy education in Latin America

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of neuroanatomy is fundamental in many scientific fields. Despite this, it is a challenging subject for students. As technology evolves, it is being increasingly incorporated into educational methods, including the teaching of neuroanatomy. Three‐dimensional (3D) visualizations are well suited for displaying neuroanatomy.

Altered structural and effective connectivity in anorexia and bulimia nervosa in circuits that regulate energy and reward homeostasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Anorexia and bulimia nervosa are severe eating disorders that share many behaviors. Structural and functional brain circuits could provide biological links that those disorders have in common.

“Hands‐On” white matter anatomy: Using Air Anatomy gestures and tractography on simple brain sections to enhance teaching of white matter directions

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Teaching white matter (WM) anatomy to undergraduates is challenging. This is partly because WM fibers are oriented intricately and Klingler's dissection, the gold standard method used to demonstrate it, often requires time, advanced anatomical knowledge, and refined dissection skills.

Beyond crossing fibers: Bootstrap probabilistic tractography using complex subvoxel fiber geometries

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2014
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging fiber tractography is a powerful tool for investigating human white matter connectivity in vivo. However, it is prone to false positive and false negative results, making interpretation of the tractography result ...

Diffusion tensor tractography of brainstem fibers and its application in pain.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Evaluation of brainstem pathways with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tractography may provide insights into pathophysiologies associated with dysfunction of key brainstem circuits.

Extracting the Groupwise Core Structural Connectivity Network: Bridging Statistical and Graph-Theoretical Approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Finding the common structural brain connectivity network for a given population is an open problem, crucial for current neuro-science. Recent evidence suggests there's a tightly connected network shared between humans.

Diffusion tensor tractography

open access: yesNosotchu, 2004
脳には白質線維の方向による水の拡散のしやすさの違い(拡散異方性diffusion anisotropy)があり,条件を満たした撮像を行い,テンソルを用いて解析すると,白質による拡散異方性の程度(白質によりどれだけ水分子が白質の方向に沿って動きやすく,白質と直交する方向に動きにくいかの程度)が定量化でき,さらに白質線維の方向も知ることができる.我々は拡散テンソルデータから白質線維による異方性を高速に追跡して拡散テンソルから見た"白質路"を描出するソフトを開発し,その臨床応用を行った.錐体路近傍の急性期脳梗塞においては,拡散テンソルtractographyにより,錐体路と梗塞との3次元的関係がより明瞭に描出され,予後予想に役立つことが示された.脳動静脈奇形などの脳血管障害 ...

Show Me the Brain!!: A modern approach to neuroanatomy education

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Show Me the Brain!! (SMtB) is a digital system for interactive graphics that is designed to support instruction in neuroanatomy and neuroscience. It will soon be made open‐source and freely available. SMtB bridges medical and traditional neuroanatomy instruction with the computational systems and representational conventions common in ...

Insights from the IronTract challenge: Optimal methods for mapping brain pathways from multi-shell diffusion MRI

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2022
Limitations in the accuracy of brain pathways reconstructed by diffusion MRI (dMRI) tractography have received considerable attention. While the technical advances spearheaded by the Human Connectome Project (HCP) led to significant improvements in dMRI ...

Microstructural Correlates of Resilience against Major Depressive Disorder: Epigenetic Mechanisms? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Mental disorders are a major cause of long-term disability and are a direct cause of mortality, with approximately 800.000 individuals dying from suicide every year worldwide - a high proportion of them related to major depressive disorder (MDD)^1 ...
