cortical epandimoma with extention to thalamus

چکیده
ependymomas are glial tumors originate from ependymal cells lining the ventricles and the central canal of the spinal cord. two thirds of ependymomas arise in the infratentorial or intraventriclesandone-third aredetected in supratentorial area. however supratentorial “cortical” ependymomas are veryuncommon. ependymomas are usually infratentorial, intraventricular tumor, including 2–9% of all central nervous system tumors. we present a unique case of an anaplastic cortical ependymomain a 48-year-old man. the patient presented with transient amnesia and right weakness and seizure. this tumor was located in the left parieto-occipital region with extension to corpus callosum and thalamus. microscopy and immunohistochemistry showed grade iii differentiation ependymoma.

Primary auditory cortical responses to electrical stimulation of the thalamus.
Cochlear implant electrical stimulation of the auditory system to rehabilitate deafness has been remarkably successful. Its deployment requires both an intact auditory nerve and a suitably patent cochlear lumen. When disease renders prerequisite conditions impassable, such as in neurofibromatosis type II and cochlear obliterans, alternative treatment targets are considered. Electrical stimulati...
متن کاملCortical Function: A View from the Thalamus
Neuroscientists from across the country gathered at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in September to honor Ray Guillery and his seminal work on the thalamus. The meeting focused on three timely research topics, each of which inspired new thinking about thalamic function. Presentations on the organization and dynamic nature of thalamocortical pathways, the role of the thalamus in communicati...
متن کاملCortical Transplants Restore the Ability of Whisker Stimulation to Metabolically Activate Host Thalamus of Adult Rat with Parietal Cortical Lesions
We have previously shown that fetal cortical transplants placed in lesion cavities in rat frontal cortex ameliorate the thalamic atrophy that occurs ipsilateral to such lesions. Moreover, the axotomized host brain thalamic neurons appear to sprout many fibers into the fetal cortical transplants. Lastly, cultured cortical and cerebellar neurons, but not glia, promote the survival of cultured tha...
متن کاملProbabilistic Extention to Realistic Abductive Reasoning Model
In this paper, we give method for probabilistic assignment to the Realistic Abduc-tive Reasoning Model, proposed in 1]. The knowledge is assumed to be represented in the form of causal chaining, namely, hyper-bipartite network. Hyper-bipartite network is the most generalized form of knowledge representation for which, so far, there has been no way of assigning the probability to the explanation...
متن کاملDeep cortical layers are activated directly by thalamus.
The thalamocortical (TC) projection to layer 4 (L4) is thought to be the main route by which sensory organs communicate with cortex. Sensory information is believed to then propagate through the cortical column along the L4→L2/3→L5/6 pathway. Here, we show that sensory-evoked responses of L5/6 neurons in rats derive instead from direct TC synapses. Many L5/6 neurons exhibited sensory-evoked pos...
متن کاملThe Nuclear Configurstion and Cortical Connections of the Human Thalamus
The present paper is par t of a series of studies on the human thalamus. The plan is to use suitable pathological material as a substitute for the experimental data available for subhuman studies, and to check such findings against normal preparations. It is hoped to provide thus a better understanding of the more detailed connections of the normal human thalamus and to see in what ways these c...
