Sample Experimental Design for Functional MRI UC
نویسنده
چکیده
SUBJECT PREPARATION The subject fills out a standard MRI questionnaire to be sure that they are not precluded from the MRI study due to existing medical conditions. Safety precautions (as indicated on the questionnaire, e.g. use of earplugs) are implemented. After giving informed consent, the subject lays supine on the MRI table, and the RF coil is placed around the subject’s head. Head motion restraints are placed. For visual stimuli, the subject puts on special MR compatible LCD display goggles. For auditory stimuli, the subject puts on MR compatible earphones. The table is then moved, placing the subject’s head at the center of the magnet.

Therapeutic Benefit of Intravenous Administration of Human Umbilical Cord Blood- Mononuclear Cells Following Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rat
Objective(s) Human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) is now considered as a valuable source for stem cell–based therapies. Previous studies showed that intravascular injection of the HUCB significantly improves neurological functional recovery in a rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In the present study, we hypothesize transplanted HUCB derived mononuclear cells (UC-MCs) can decrease injur...
متن کامل3-D RF Coil Design Considerations for MRI
High-frequency coils are widely used in medical applications, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. A typical medical MRI includes a local radio frequency transmit/receive coil. This coil is designed for maximum energy transfer or wave transfer through magnetic resonance. Mutual inductance is a dynamic parameter that determines the energy quantity to be transferred wirelessly by ele...
متن کامل2 Introduction to fMRI : experimental design and data analysis
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (functional MRI or fMRI) is a noninvasive neuroimaging technique that can be used for studying human brain function in vivo. Functional MRI extends the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging to provide information about biological function in addition to the anatomical information. Seiji Ogawa first demonstrated that by measuring the blood-oxygenation-level-depe...

متن کاملHuman umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells differentiate into functional Schwann cells that sustain peripheral nerve regeneration.
Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) that are available from cell banks can be induced to differentiate into various cell types, thereby making them practical potential sources for cell-based therapies. In injured peripheral nerves, Schwann cells (SCs) contribute to functional recovery by supporting axonal regeneration and myelin reconstruction. Here, we first demons...
