T1 measurements were performed on the human brain using a whole body MR scanner operating at 1.5 tesla. Three different pulse sequences were compared including two 6-points inversion recovery (IR) sequences with
Here, however, as in previous papers, we describe that the human brain operates in a turbulent regime37,38, in the sense of Kuramoto38, which confers important information processing advantages, including significantly enhancing the functional role of the anatomically rare long-range connections39. W...
A fast-recovery, fast spin echo (FRFSE) pulse sequence was used, along with IDEAL (iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation) post-processing to obtain water-only, fat-only, in-phase and out-of-phase images of the thighs. The following ...
Having the physical function to undertake activities of daily living (ADLs) is essential in order to maintain independence. The aim of this study is to investigate factors associated with physical function in older adults and determine if these associations differ in men versus women. In total, 72...
Information about others’ experiences can strongly influence our own feelings and decisions. But how does such social information affect the neural generation of affective experience, and are the brain mechanisms involved distinct from those that mediat
Body language 1. Introduction The expression of emotion through the body is an integral part of any social interaction, and the human brain expertly distinguishes between fake and genuine emotional expressions (McGettigan et al., 2015). Recent research in cognitive psychology and affective neuroscien...
During the process of ANH, Dex40 displayed a V-shaped recovery pattern for blood pressure, and HES200 had the advantage in sustaining the DBP and MAP at some time points. Keywords: Acute normovolemic hemodilution, Plasma expander, Acid-base, Lactate, Blood gas, Physiological parameters * ...
DNA extractions were performed for a separate male individual collected in the same locations. For HWM DNA, the MagAttract HMW DNA kit (Qiagen) was used following the manufacturer’s guidelines. DNA fragment sizes and integrity were checked with a 1% agarose gel and a Femto Pulse system (Agile...
Electrolytic lesions of these nuclei eliminated acoustic startle and single pulse electrical stimulation of these nuclei elicited startlelike responses with a progressively shorter latency as the electrode was moved farther down the startle pathway. Furthermore, local infusion of excitatory amino acid ...
Pulse oxymetry and respiration were recorded via sensors from the Trio [sampling rate 50 Hz]) and MR scanner compatible devices (BrainAmp MR + , BrainAmpExG; Brain Pro- ducts, Gilching, Germany), facilitating sleep scoring during fMRI acquisition. Disorders of consciousness, Paris. MRI images...
