Shown in a are portions of perivascular structures and cells from four CNS subregions. Each electron microscopic picture shows endothelium (end), the capillary lumen (L) and part of a pericyte (coloured green and annotated with asterisk) surrounded by a basal lamina on both sides. Immunogold ...
NPY-ir structures were identified due to intense DAB labeling. Synaptic axon terminals were only counted as 5-HT-ir if at least two immunogold-silver particles were present and if the same structure displayed labeling in several serial sections. To ensure specificity of the immunogold-silver ...
Subcortical brain structures are integral to motion, consciousness, emotions and learning. We identified common genetic variation related to the volumes of the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, brainstem, caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, putamen and thalamus
Reverse engineering the brain by mimicking the structure and function of neuronal networks on a silicon integrated circuit was the original goal of neuromorphic engineering, but remains a distant prospect. The focus of neuromorphic engineering has thus b
GLMs were performed to investigate the relationship between brain structures and gait speed, calculated in metres per second for the analysis. In an unadjusted model, gait speed was predicted by TBV, hippocampal volume and WMH volume, all p < 0.001. Upon adjusting for age, sex, ICV and ...
In addition, electrode positions relative to underlying anatomical structures and functional areas are subject to variability, to changes related to growth and maturation and to methods of electrode placement used (for example, high density electrode cap or net). Thus, the level of anatomic accuracy...
These simple gangliosides constitute the complex gangliosides belonging to the a-, b-, and c-series, respectively. Elaboration of the ganglioside structures is achieved by other specific glycosyltransferases, such as UDP-GalNAc: LacCer/GM3/GD3/GT3 β1-4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAcT...
Cellular structures of brain tissue in both groups were normal (Figure 2). However, 21-day TS induced atrophy of regional neurons in cerebral cortex of 21-day SM group (3 out of 6 rats), as shown in Figure 3B. Figure 2. Histomorphology of rat brain regions after 7-day TS. Cellular ...
Furthermore, midlife changes in women occur more extensively on the lateral edge of the brain, and in men more in midline structures. These findings may be relevant for understanding more about sex differences in behavior, personality and health in mid-life. Acknowledgements The study was ...
Neuroimaging studies of depression and surgical lesion studies that induce or mitigate depressive symptoms have been used to elucidate mood circuits [7, 8]. Comprising these circuits are several brain structures and regions, particularly the dorsal prefrontal cortex, ventral prefrontal cortex, anterior ci...
