In vivo retinotopic mapping of superior colliculus using manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
The superior colliculus (SC) is a dome-shaped subcortical laminar structure in the mammalian midbrain, whose superficial layers receive visual information from the retina in a topological order. Despite the increasing number of studies investigating retinotopic projection in visual brain development and disorders, in vivo, high-resolution 3D mapping of topographic organization in the subcortica...
متن کاملManganese-enhanced MRI of the mouse auditory pathway.
Functional mapping of the lateral lemniscus and the superior olivary complex as part of the auditory pathway was accomplished for the first time in mice in vivo using manganese-enhanced MRI (2.35T, 3D FLASH, 117 microm isotropic resolution). These and other auditory centers in the brainstem presented with pronounced signal enhancements after systemic administration of manganese chloride when an...
متن کاملTitle In vivo manganese-enhanced MRI for visuotopic brain mapping
This study explored the feasibility of localized manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) via 3 different routes of Mn administrations for visuotopic brain mapping of retinal, callosal, cortico-subcortical, transsynaptic and horizontal connections in normal adult rats. Upon fractionated intravitreal Mn injection, Mn enhancements were observed in the contralateral superior colliculus (SC) and lateral geni...
متن کاملIn vivo Visualization of Cytoarchitecture to Define Boundaries in Cortex, Thalamic Nuclei and Superior Colliculus using Manganese Enhanced MRI
C. W-H. Wu, S. J. Dodd, A. P. Koretsky LFMI/NINDS, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, United States Introduction The cerebral cortex is composed of cells whose packing allows them to be separated into layers. The description of these layers is known as lamination. Cortical layers serves as a reference within brain because different layers have different input-output circuitry an...
متن کاملIn Vivo Evaluation of the Visual Pathway in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes by Diffusion Tensor MRI and Contrast Enhanced MRI
Visual function has been shown to deteriorate prior to the onset of retinopathy in some diabetic patients and experimental animal models. This suggests the involvement of the brain's visual system in the early stages of diabetes. In this study, we tested this hypothesis by examining the integrity of the visual pathway in a diabetic rat model using in vivo multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging ...
