MRI at 3 T of brain functions and fibre tracts adjacent to intracranial tumors
… healthy controls (Paper 3). Values and lesion-to-brain ratios of ADC and FA in peritumoral edema did not differ between high grade gliomas, meningiomas and metastases (Paper 4). Conclusions: Our results suggest that the spatial resolution of fMRI using a clinical protocol is adequate for …

Cell-type specific cholinergic modulation of the cortex
… in the nucleus basalis (NB) of the basal forebrain is implicated in modulating diverse neocortical functions including information processing, cortical plasticity, arousal and attention. To understand the physiological basis of these brain functions during cholinergic modulation, it is …

Research, Rhetoric, and the Writing Curriculum: Consciousness Expansion Through Bi-Hemisphericity
… psychological theory. It examines what recent brain research has to say about left-hemispheric verbal skills and right-hemispheric imaginal skills. A survey of literary, philosophical, and rhetorical expressions shows that man has for a long time "known" what brain research bears out: verbal …

The Effects of Social Interactions on Brain Development in Infancy
… and years, leading to a sophisticated network of brain regions that emerges to handle social information. However, it is essential to consider the context in which brain development unfolds to unravel the underlying mechanisms and interpret the significance of these brain functions early in life. …

Influence of Age on Auditory Gating
… sensory physiology. Also similar to many other brain functions, sensory gating decreases in later adulthood.

Magnetic resonance contrast-enhancing agents whose effects are altered by electric fields
… activity and, ultimately, understanding how the brain functions. With that in mind, contrast-enhancing agents whose effects are changed by electric fields, similar in function to voltage sensitive dyes, were developed. It may also be possible to develop magnetic resonance contrast agents that …

The Influence of Perspective Taking and Empathy on Students Using the Cultural Approach to History
… Advances in neuroscience revealing how the brain functions in the learning process have been proven to show that stimulating affect in students during instruction may result in a greater long-term learning outcomes than if students underwent traditional lecture-based instruction. Students …

Emotion, Depression, and Asymmetric Brain Function
… studies have largely failed to identify specific brain regions showing this effect. This failure likely stems in part from the widespread use of inappropriate data analytic strategies. The present project used a novel analytic strategy to test the hypothesis that emotion processes are related to …

A subspace method for reconstruction of time-series fMRI images from sparse data
… powerful imaging modality commonly used to study brain functions. It utilizes the difference in the oxygen content of brain tissues over time to produce functional connectivity maps, or visualizations of brain regions activated when a subject performs a task. As such, it provides invaluable insight …

Advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging to facilitate brain research
Probing brain functions at laminar and columnar level provides opportunities in understanding local and remote neural circuits that are critical for cognition and behaviors. High field functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) based on blood oxygenation level dependent contrast (BOLD) is one …

Visual Saliency Detection and its Application to Image Retrieval
… and involvement. It is due to the way how our brain functions, redundancy and importance of the perceived data. This work deals with visual information, in particular with images. Image analysis and processing is often requires running computationally expensive algorithms. The knowledge of …

Assessing Neuronal Synchrony and Brain Function Through Local Field Potential and Spike Analysis
… of neuronal activity related to essential brain functions like sensory processing and cognition. Important principles and theories have emerged from these findings, including the communication through coherence hypothesis, which proposes that synchronous oscillations render neuronal …

Statistical methods for fMRI data analysis
… resonance imaging (fMRI) has dominated the brain mapping field and it has been proved a powerful tool for mapping human brain functions. The fMRI is a high spatial-temporal resolution medical-imaging modality, which means the data structure is complicated and the data size is huge. These …

Pattern recognition of brain fMRI images for various physiological states
… Imaging) has led many researchers to localize brain functions using different stimuli. The use of pattern recognition techniques have made it possible to predict the stimuli being presented from the corresponding brain images and activation patterns. The primary objective of the present study …

Noninvasive optical inhibition with a red-shifted microbial rhodopsin
… the causal assessment of their contributions to brain functions, but a limit to the utility of optogenetic modulation is the quantity of neural tissue that can be successfully addressed from a given optical source. Previous optogenetic inhibitors are driven by blue, green, or yellow wavelengths, …
