Exploring miniature insect brains using micro-CT scanning techniques
The capacity to explore soft tissue structures in detail is important in understanding animal physiology and how this determines features such as movement, behaviour and the impact of trauma on regular function. Here we use advances in micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) technology to explore the brain of an important insect pollinator and model organism, the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris). Her...
متن کاملOsmotic blood-brain barrier modification: clinical documentation by enhanced CT scanning and/or radionuclide brain scanning.
Results of initial clinical trials of brain tumor chemotherapy after osmotic blood-brain barrier disruption are promising. In general, the procedure is well tolerated. The major complication has been seizures. In this report, data are presented which indicate that the etiology of these seizures is related to the use of contrast agent (meglumine iothalamate) to monitor barrier modification. A se...
متن کاملINTRATHORACIC KIDNEY: A CT-SCANNING VIEW
We report a patient who was admitted to the department of medicine with palpitation, dyspnea and left flank pain, Chest X-ray revealed a mass in the left lung. The lesion was evaluated as a pulmonary tumor, with a high suspicion of malignancy. Intravenous urography, sonography, and CTscanning revealed a thoracic kidney at the location previously thought to be a lung mass. This is the firs...
متن کاملCT 1.2.3 Complex Brain Networks
In this work we are interested in perhaps nature’s most complex system, the mammalian cerebral cortex [1]. Recent advances in experimental neuroscience allow, for the first time, noninvasive studies of white matter tracts in the human nervous system, thus making available cutting-edge anatomical data describing these global connectivity patterns. Further, contemporary “proof of principle” work ...
متن کاملRebuilding Brain Circuitry with Living Micro-Tissue Engineered Neural Networks.
Prominent neuropathology following trauma, stroke, and various neurodegenerative diseases includes neuronal degeneration as well as loss of long-distance axonal connections. While cell replacement and axonal pathfinding strategies are often explored independently, there is no strategy capable of simultaneously replacing lost neurons and re-establishing long-distance axonal connections in the ce...
