A mechanized device for mounting histological tissue sections
Publication date: Available online 25 March 2019Source: Journal of Neuroscience MethodsAuthor(s): Osama Habbal, Ahmad Farhat, Reem KhalilAbstractBackgroundTraditional methods for mounting tissue sections onto slides are suboptimal as the amount of labor required quickly multiplies with increasing number of samples. Methods to accelerate the tissue mounting process while reducing the associated risk of tissue damage are needed.New MethodWe designed and 3D printed a mechanized device with an inclined...

Low level myelomeningoceles: do they need prenatal surgery?
Abstract Background Postnatal closure of a myelomeningocele remains the standard of care in many countries. The prenatal closure has given hope for decreasing the damage to the neural placode and has challenged classic management. However, this technique presents potential sources of complications. Patients with MMC with an anatomical level of L4 and below have a better functional prognosis than higher level malformations. Are they still...

Are gait changes linked to CSF flow changes in the sagittal sinus?
Abstract Purpose To identify if specific findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow studies can be utilised to identify which patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) will have improved gait following a CSF tap test (TT). Methods Prospective study of patients undergoing a CSF TT for iNPH. Functional gait...

Control of bill-grasping aperture with varying food size in crows
Grasping movement in primates is known to be a visually guided behavior and the aperture of hand opening is adjusted to the target size on the basis of visual information. The analogous behavior can be found in birds, called 'pecking', consisting of head-reaching and bill-grasping. Bill-grasping has been investigated mainly in pigeons and an aperture adjustment as seen in primates has been reported. This study focused on kinematics of pecking in crows, known to possess dexterous visuomotor skills,...

BDNF–TrkB signaling is involved in the histopathological damage, synaptic protein loss and inflammatory response caused by an electromagnetic pulse in rat brain cortex
An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) can cause central nervous system damage, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of EMP exposure on the cortex of the rat brain and the involvement of deficiencies in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)–tyrosine receptor kinase B (TrkB) signaling pathway. Rats were exposed to EMPs once a day for 7 consecutive days. Histopathological damage was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Levels of synaptic marker...

Voxel-based morphometry reveals regional reductions of gray matter volume in school-aged children with short-term type 1 diabetes mellitus
Follow-up observation is needed for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) children due to the potential injury to the brain. However, the effect of short-term T1DM on gray matter in school-aged children is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate gray matter volume (GMV) changes and their relationships with clinical variables in school-aged children with short-term T1DM. Twenty-one school-aged T1DM children were compared with 21 control patients, matched for sex and age. T1-weighted gradient echo three-dimensional...

Pharmacology of P2Y Receptors
Publication date: Available online 25 March 2019Source: Brain Research BulletinAuthor(s): Ivar von KügelgenAbstractP2Y receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) for extracellular nucleotides. There are eight mammalian P2Y receptor subtypes divided into two subgroups (P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, and P2Y11) and (P2Y12, P2Y13, and P2Y14). The P2Y receptors are expressed in various cell types and play important roles in physiology and pathophysiology including inflammatory responses and neuropathic...

Complex revascularization for idiopathic intracranial occlusive disease with unruptured, fusiform anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery aneurysms
Publication date: Available online 25 March 2019Source: World NeurosurgeryAuthor(s): Kristine Ravina, Daniel R. Kramer, Ben A. Strickland, Erik M. Wolfswinkel, Robert C. Rennert, Joseph N. Carey, Jonathan J. RussinAbstractRevascularization is an important strategy when treating cerebrovascular occlusive disease and complex aneurysms. Radial artery fascial flow-through free flaps (RAFFs) are flexible grafts that provide direct and indirect revascularization. RAFFs can be especially useful for large...

Transient Incomplete Locked-In Syndrome Secondary to Supratentorial Gunshot Wound
Publication date: Available online 25 March 2019Source: World NeurosurgeryAuthor(s): Jack Horan, Sean Tromp, Ncedile MankahlaAbstractBackgroundLocked-in syndrome (LIS) is a rare neurological disorder characterised as quadriplegia with anarthria. The diagnosis of LIS is challenging and requires a high index of suspicion. The syndrome is typically due to an infratentorial lesion to the ventral pons, regardless of aetiology. LIS secondary to supratentorial injury is extremely rare and to our knowledge...
