other MRI patterns (cortical/subcortical, striatal, diencephalic, brainstem, encephalomyelitis, and meningoencephalitis) only a diagnosis of possible or probable AE can be formulated unless there is evidence of neuronal antibodies. The role of MRI is obviously also to rule out other non-immune disord...
SCFAs can directly also act on afferent vagal fibers [60]. It’s possible that vagus nerve stimulation can affect immune activity in the brain. Stimulation of the vagus nerve has been reported to decrease neuroinflammatory reaction to systemic lipopolysaccharide administration and induce anti...
This characteristic of FC is similar to other standard scan types, such as structural or diffusion MRI. But importantly, FC allows examination of functional neural architecture, or brain activity fluctuations over time. Further, FC uniquely potentiates investigation of early, brain-based biomarkers of...

With a CT scan, a neuroradiologist can diagnose or exclude diseases that require urgent ther- apeutic decisions. The most important diagnosis that requires a prompt CT scan of the brain is acute stroke or traumatic brain injury. CT provides information on the state of the brain parenchyma, ...
Here we shall introduce the traditional monitoring methods including electrophysiologic monitoring, brain oxygen monitoring, intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, cerebral microdialysis and experimental brain-on-chip technology. For the treatment of TBI, we shall focus on updated information about stem-...
