The double massa intermedia.

BACKGROUND To describe the rare finding of a double massa intermedia (MI). Typically, the MI (interthalamic adhesion) is a single bridge of gray matter connecting the medial surfaces of the thalami. METHODS Twelve formalin- and alcohol-fixed human third ventricles were examined from superior to inferior by fiber dissection technique under ×6 to ×40 magnifications and with the endoscope. RES...

Multiple association analysis via simulated annealing (MASSA)

SUMMARY Genome-wide association studies are now technically feasible and likely to become a fundamental tool in unraveling the ultimate genetic basis of complex traits. However, new statistical and computational methods need to be developed to extract the maximum information in a realistic computing time. Here we propose a new method for multiple association analysis via simulated annealing tha...

New insights from DWI

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a dramatic event. Without warning, the patient suddenly experiences antegrade memory loss.1,2 As quickly as the amnesic syndrome appears, it resolves, usually within 24 hours. There are no apparent long-term sequelae, and recurrence is uncommon. What causes TGA? For years this question has been debated. Various proponents have advocated ischemic, migrainous, an...
