Abstract Studies of children treated for dense cataracts afford an opportunity to examine the role of visual experience in driving visual perceptual development. Collectively, the data indicate that there are multiple periods during which deprivation can damage visual d...

We report on a miniature label-free imaging system for monitoring brain blood flow and blood oxygenation changes in awake, freely behaving rats. The device, weighing 15 grams, enables imaging in a ∼ 2 × 2 mm field of view with 4.4 μm lateral resolution and 1 − 8 Hz temp...

We examined the effects of visual deprivation at birth on the development of the corpus callosum in a large group of congenitally blind individuals. We acquired high-resolution T1-weighted MRI scans in 28 congenitally blind and 28 normal sighted subjects matched for age...

International audience; This study investigates the effects of a low-noise environment when used for recording the scalp electroencephalogram (EEG). Analysis of the EEG recordings from three volunteers confirms that clean EEG signals can be acquired in the LSBB shielded...

© 2018 Elsevier Inc. The close homology of monkeys and humans has increased the prevalence of non-human-primate models in functional MRI studies of brain connectivity. To improve upon the attainable resolution in functional MRI studies, a commensurate increase in the se...

As the diagnostic power of medical imaging technologies continues to develop, its utilization in healthcare research has proliferated (Sandoval et al. 2018). Consummate with such proliferation has been the aggregation of a large amount of high-quality research medical i...

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition marked by a decline in cognitive functions with no validated disease modifying treatment. It is critical for timely treatment to detect AD in its earlier stage before clinical manifestation. ...

Music practice is a multisensory training that is of great interest to neuroscientists because of its implications for neural plasticity. Music-related modulation of sensory systems has been observed in neuroimaging data, and has been supported by results in behavioral ...

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a phase contrast technique that provides a non-invasive means of evaluating the viscoelastic properties of soft condensed matter. This has a profound bio-medical significance as it allows for the virtual palpation of areas of the...

In grapheme-color synesthesia, letters and numbers evoke abnormal colored perceptions. Although the underlying mechanisms are not known, it is largely thought that the synesthetic brain is characterized by atypical connectivity throughout various brain regions, includi...
