Functional connectivity (FC) is defined in terms of temporal correlations between physiological signals, which mainly depend upon structural (axonal) connectivity; it commonly studied using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Interhemispheric FC appears mostly supported by the corpus callosum (CC), although several studies investigating this aspect have not provided conclusive evidence. In context, patients whom CC was resected for therapeutic reasons (split-brain patients) provide...
Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune degenerative disease targeting white matter in the central nervous system. The most common animal model that mimics MS experimental encephalomyelitis (EAE) and it plays a crucial role pharmacological research, from identification of therapeutic target to vivo validation efficacy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) largely used detect lesions, resting‐state functional MRI (rsfMRI) investigate alterations brain connectivity (FC). was mainly EAE...
Adipose tissue-derived adult stem (ADAS) cells and extracellular vesicle (EV) therapy offer promising avenues for treating neurodegenerative diseases due to their accessibility potential autologous cell transplantation. However, the clinical application of ADAS or EVs is limited by challenge precisely identifying them in specific regions interest. This study compares two superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, differing mainly size, determine efficacy allowing non-invasive tracking via...
The gustatory areas of the brain include primary (GI) and secondary (GII) cerebral cortex. A spatial mechanism has been recently hypothesized to explain taste quality recognition. This research investigates distribution blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) activations evoked in human area GI by different tastants, aimed at building a chemotopic map. organization was studied seven healthy subjects applying three stimuli (salty, sweet, neutral) either side tongue, using 5-min functional...
