A fast, model-independent method for cerebral cortical thickness estimation using MRIA fast, model-independent method for cerebral cortical thickness estimation using MRI
Based on the laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and the multiscale entropy (MSE), we study in this work the blood flow dynamics at the levels of cerebral veins and the surrounding network of microcerebral vessels. We discuss how the phenylephrine-
Focal ischemia due to reduction of cerebral blood flow (CBF), creates 2 zones of damage: the core area, which suffers severe damage, and penumbra area, which surrounds the core and suffers intermediate levels of injury. Objectives: A novel method is
In this paper, a model-based reconstruction technique is proposed to simultaneously measure the relative deoxyhemoglobin concentration and the relative blood flow velocity in cerebral cortex. With the help of this model-based reconstruction technique
Hemodynamic low-frequency (~0.1 Hz) spontaneous oscillations as detected in the brain by nearinfrared spectroscopy have potential applications in the study of brain activation, cerebral autoregulation, and functional connectivity. In this work, we ha
The physiological responses to human thermal stimulation have been widely investigated, but most of them are mainly concerned about the whole body thermal stimulation. In this study, we investigated the effects of stimulus mode and ambient temperatur
The cerebral blood flow (CBF) alterations related to sound-induced opening of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) in adult mice are studied using laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and wavelet analysis of vascular physiology. The results clearly show th
Malignant gliomas are highly invasive tumors that use the cerebral vessels for invasion due to high vascular fragility of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). On one hand, glioma is characterized by the BBB disruption, on the other hand, drug brain deliver
