BBB anatomy: structure and composition Blood vessels infiltrating the brain and the spinal cord form the BBB [19]. The cerebral and spinal capillaries are covered by endothelial cells connected to each other by tight junction proteins, forming the inner part of the BBB [19]. Tight junction prot...
It is important to note that DTI metrics are only indirect measures of microstructure16. For MD changes, cumulative evidence suggests that the directionality (i.e., increase vs. decrease) and its interpretation might depend on the targeted brain structure, participant group (i.e., physiological ...
Moreover, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have demonstrated that genetic variants, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), are the inherent causes of AD owing to their aberrant expression in cerebral anatomy and function [4,5]. Accordingly, a multimodal fusion study to examine the...
Notably, this spatial pattern recapitulated a gradient from sensory-to-association cortex that has been previously associated with multiple aspects of brain structure and function50. Developmental milestones Neuroimaging milestones are defined by inflection points of the tissue-specific volumetric trajectories ...
Structured flows on manifolds as the focus of resting state characterization. For the structure of the connectivity of the dynamical system, we consider the spectrum defined by the two symmetrical limit cases: a fully disconnected network, and a network where the external input dominates the activity...
and causal connections between distinct units within the central nervous system. Articles describing the underlying mechanisms and structure behind brain connections will be given priority. Emphasis will be placed on the following experimental techniques: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalograph...

"The structure forms a 'highway' between the lower, ventral part of the visual system, which processes the properties of faces, words and objects, and the upper, dorsal parietal regions, which orients attention to an object's spatial location," he added. ...
In this study, published in Brain Structure and Function, the researchers scanned the brains of healthy participants and found that key brain systems were activated when choosing for oneself to suppress an emotion. They had previously linked this brain area to deciding to inhibit movement. This ...
By leveraging longitudinal neuroimaging data collected up to over a decade from community-dwelling adults, we aimed to answer the following questions: (1) is higher muscle mitochondrial function associated with preserved brain structure over time during aging? (2) are there areas of the brain that...
