Over the years, diffusion tractography has seen increasing use for comparing minute differences in connectivity of brain structures neurodegenerative diseases and treatments. Studies on between basal ganglia been a focal point studying effects such as Parkinson's Alzheimer's, well treatments deep stimulation. Additionally, previous studies, was utilized disease mouse models to identify white matter alterations, biomarkers that occur progression disease. However, despite extensive study model...
In this study, magnetic resonance imaging is used for anatomical and pathological studies of the spinal cord, investigating mechanisms neuralgia through diffusion techniques. However, analysis ganglion changes in cord multi-shell diffuse-weighted MRI signals remains challenging due to ambiguous relationship between sympathetic signals. To study these relationships, we construct a neuropathic pain model using rats by performing ex-vivo experiments cell staining provide insight into treatment pain.
Depression in the elderly population has shown increased likelihood of neurological disorders due to structural changes subcortical area.However, further investigation into depression related is needed mismatches analysis results between studies as well scarcities research regarding connectivity patterns subclinical populations.This study aims investigate differences regions aged participants with using 3Tesla MRI.In analysis, volumes each region were measured observe volumetric difference...
Preclinical studies using rodents have been the choice for many neuroscience researchers due totheir close reflection of human biology. In particular, research involving has utilized MRI to accurately identify brain regions and characteristics by acquiring high resolution cavity images with different contrasts non-invasively, this resulted in reproducibility throughput. addition, tractographic analysis diffusion tensor imaging obtain information on neural structure white matter emerged as a...
Unlike image analysis studies with human subjects, where various programs have been developed and validated to provide a complete assessment step-by-step work procedure, methods for analyzing data using MRI in preclinical research settings not agreed upon. Therefore, this study, the high-accuracy SIGMA atlas, we present deterministic tractographic pipeline that can perform detailed structural segmentation of rat brain confirm connectivity based on segmented regions.
In this study, the signal intensity of choroid plexus, which is producing cerebrospinal fluid, analyzed according to FLAIR diffusion-weighted imaging technique. T2*-DW-EPI image, FLAIR-DW-EPI technique, suppressed water signal, was additionally examined for subjects with high plexus signals and compared intensity. As a result experiment, it confirmed that technique showed strength equal or lower than brain parenchyma, there difference in between two techniques. if choroidal T2 * -DW-EPI...
