Human intelligence has always been a fascinating subject for scientists. Since the inception of Spearman’s general intelligence in the early 1900s, there has been significant progress towards characterizing different aspects of intelligence and its relationship with structural and functional features of the brain. In recent years, the invention of sophisticated brain imaging devices using Diffu...

The purpose of this study was to investigate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the normal feline eyeand optic nerves using T1-weighted and T2-weighted images. A total of 6 healthy female domestic short haircats age 2-2.5 years and weighing 3.2 ± 0.4 kg were selected. Magnetic resonance imaging data werecollected using GEMSOW (Philips) at a magnetic field strength of 1.5 T. Dorsal, sagittal, a...

Background: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with perivascular contrast enhancement in the pons responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) is a rare and relatively new pathology magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) highly important its diagnosis.
 Clinical case description: The analysis of MRI results revealed typical changes characteristic CLIPPERS, such as contrast-positive small-point curvilinear le...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a flexible and widely available neuroimaging technique. Structural MRI and diffusion MRI, in particular, provide information about connectivity between brain regions which may be combined to obtain a picture of entire neural networks, or the so-called connectome. In this review we outline the principles of MR-based connectivity analysis, discuss what relevant...

The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate brain structure ("structural MRI") and function (so-called "functional MRI") has become increasingly common among neuroscientists, psychologists, and even economists in recent years. Yet, despite this increase in use, relatively little attention has been paid to the issue of incidental findings. The current paper discusses these issues,...

Objectives: Neuroimaging is contributing to the rising costs of dizziness evaluation. This study examined the rate of central neurological causes of dizziness, relevant clinical predictors, and the costs and diagnostic yields of neuroimaging in dizziness assessment. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 521 adult patients who visited the hospital during a 12-month period with dizz...

With the increasing frequency of neuroimaging, incidental intramedullary cavities are diagnosed more frequently. We present a case asymptomatic cervical cavity as an idiopathic syringomyelia initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed isolated cystic image without contrasted component. The patient had no subsequent MRI follow-up, but eventually symptoms 8 years later. By this stage disease,...

abstract the current mainstay of treatment in spontaneous intracranial hypotension (sih) is an epidural blood patch (ebp). although magnetic resonance imaging (mri) has a well-established role in the diagnosis of sih, imaging features regarding the treatment efficacy of ebp have rarely been discussed. we therefore sought to investigate and compare the sequential brain mri studies before and aft...
