The integration of anatomical, functional, and developmental approaches in cognitive neuroscience is essential for generating mechanistic explanations of brain function. In this thesis, I first establish a proof-of-principle that neuroanatomical connectivity, as measured with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), can be used to calculate connectional fingerprints that are sufficient to delineate fi...

able, but there are others who view the educated man as one who can proceed from the observed facts to his own conclusions. Since the author assumes a thorough knowledge of the preclinical sciences, including anatomical pathology in his reader, one wonders if this reader might not be ready for the more advanced books on function. The printer has come to the aid of the student with an easy-to-re...

A method for automatically extracting a triangulated surface mesh of the human vocal tract from 3D MRI data is proposed. The algorithm is based on a combination of anatomic landmarking, seeded region growing, and smoothing. More precisely, a mask is automatically created for removing unwanted details not associated with the vocal tract from the MRI voxel data. The mask then is applied to the or...

Curricular reform in the anatomical sciences education is at cross roads. Many medical schools are continuing to modify their curriculum and educational methods with respect to anatomy. On one hand, the hours allotted for teaching anatomy has been significantly reduced, which prevents the anatomy educators from imparting their best to the students and on other hand, it has been dreaded that, be...

The shape of the brain and the position of anatomical structures can change during neurosurgical procedures. Such changes can be due to to differences between the patient’s position in acquisition and during surgery, reduction ...

Acquaintance with the different anatomical variations of the arterial supply of the gallbladder is of great importance in hepatobiliary surgical procedures. A rare variation of the hepatobiliary arterial system was found during anatomical dissection of a female Iranian cadaver. Two cystic arteries were present, the first arising directly from the right hepatic artery and the second from the gas...
