Medial Temporal Lobe Structure and Function
Medial Temporal Lobe Structure and Function by Meghana Sunil Karnik Doctor of Philosophy in Biology and Biomedical Sciences: Neuroscience) Washington University in St. Louis, 2009 Professor John G. Csernansky, Chairperson My main goal was to examine the relationship between brain structure and …

Multi-Dimensional Medial Geometry: Formulation, Computation, and Applications
Medial axis is a classical shape descriptor. It is a piece of geometry that lies in the middle of the original shape. Compared to the original shape representation, the medial axis is always one dimension lower and it carries many intrinsic shape properties explicitly. Therefore, it is widely used …

Content representation in the human medial temporal lobe
… than surprise? It is well-established that the medial temporal lobe (MTL) is crucial to both processes, but the MTL is not a single homogeneous region. In fact, it is composed of several anatomically distinct subregions including hippocampus, perirhinal cortex (PRC) and parahippocampal cortex …

Robust and flexible multi-scale medial axis computation
The principle of the multi-scale medial axis (MMA) is important in that any object is detected at a blurring scale proportional to the size of the object. Thus it provides a sound balance between noise removal and preserving detail. The robustness of the MMA has been reflected in many existing …

Medial Temporal Lobe Structures Contribute to on -Line Processing
… extend the emerging view that structures of the medial temporal lobe contribute to the on-line processing of visual stimuli. These experiments uniquely demonstrate that the MTL is necessary for normal apprehension of even single stimuli when degraded, and for normal discrimination of even very …

Error correction in the hippocampal-medial-entorhinal cognitive map
Error correction in the hippocampal-medial-entorhinal cognitive map Tereza Vargová Summary Spatial navigation is a crucial skill for survival. The hippocampal-medial-entorhinal network contains multiple classes of spatially modulated cells, namely place cells, grid cells, border cells, and head …

Medial surface transformations for rapid approximation of casting solidification
… thesis demonstrates the feasibility of using a medial surface transformation as a tool to rapidly approximate the solidification patterns of convex faceted solid models of castings. The medial surface transformation is used to automate the greatest included sphere approach to solidification …

The Medial Entorhinal Cortex's role in temporal and working memory : characterization of a mouse lacking synaptic transmission in Medial Entorhinal Cortex Layer III
… association of multiple input streams within the medial temporal lobe. Understanding the role each neuronal circuit and projection plays in learning and memory is essential to understanding how declarative and episodic-like memories are formed. This work here addresses the role of the medial …

Role of rat medial prefrontal cortex in time interval estimation
… this study was to test the requirement of intact medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) for performing the task and to find the mechanism of time interval estimation. In Experiment 1, I established a temporal discrimination procedure using six different time intervals ranging from 3018 to 4784 ms that …

HORROR-EVOKED AROUSAL AND AMYGDALA BIAS OF THE MEDIAL TEMPORAL LOBE
… memory. We measured neural circuitry in the medial temporal lobe (MTL), including the amygdala sub-nuclei areas of the basolateral and the central-medial amygdala, the anterior and posterior hippocampus, and the perirhinal cortex. We present neural univariate signals of these regions of …

Impact of Acute Ethanol Injections on Medial Prefrontal Cortex Neural Activity
The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is a cortical brain region involved in the evaluation and selection of motivationally relevant outcomes. mPFC-mediated cognitive functions are impaired following acute alcohol exposure. In rodent models, ethanol (EtOH) doses as low as 0.75 g/kg yield deficits in …

Distinguishing characteristics of thoracic medial paraspinal structures determined as abnormal by palpation
Abnormal tissue texture and tenderness detected in the paravertebral gutter (PVG) region by manual palpation has been proposed to be an important diagnostic finding in osteopathic medicine. The pathophysiology of tissues at sites detected as abnormal by palpation and reported as tender by the …
