MRI equipment and imaging protocols Imaging was performed using a Siemens Tim 1.5T superconducting MRI scanner. A body phased array coil was utilized, and the scanning range extended from the anterior superior iliac spine to the superior margin of the pubic symphysis. A turbo spin echo (TSE) se...
DeltaFosB increases dendritic spine density in medium spiny neu- rons in the nucleus accumbens in addicted animals during extended periods of abstinence through stimulation of the protein Cdk5, thus becoming a bridge to more extended neuroplasticity (Bibb et al., 2001; Norrholm ...
Top panels: T1-weighted axial MRI images acquired longitudinally from one child, showing age- related increase in brain size and white matter intensity. Bottom panels: DTI images of white matter tractography in a cross-sectional comparison showing of age-related increase in the organization of ...
Nowadays coronal images are reconstructed digitally, based upon the threedimensional data set with a narrow collimation in MDCT-units, so that especially trauma patients do not have to be excluded any more for potential lesions of bones or ligaments of their cervical spine. Usually, images are ...
Hereditary vascular dementias also impair mental function. CADASIL can cause migraine headaches and/or strokes. CARASIL can cause hair loss and degeneration of the bones in the spine (vertebrae) and the disks between them (spondylosis). About 6 in 10 people die within 5 years...
