Brain Imaging01:14

Brain Imaging

727
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Properties of Transition Metals

29.7K
Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are transition elements. The f-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the d orbital is partially occupied before the f orbitals.

General Properties of Solutions

35.7K
Many common substances around us exist as a solution, such as ocean water, air, and gasoline. All solutions are mixtures of substances that are composed of varying amounts of two or more types of atoms or molecules. A mixture with a non-uniform composition is a heterogeneous mixture, whereas a mixture with a uniform composition is a homogeneous mixture. The components that make the homogeneous mixture are evenly spread out and thoroughly mixed.

Convolution computations can be simplified by utilizing their inherent properties.
The commutative property reveals that the input and the impulse response of an LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) system can be interchanged without affecting the output:

Properties of DTFT II01:24

Properties of DTFT II

541
In the study of discrete-time signal processing, understanding the properties of the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) is crucial for analyzing and manipulating signals in the frequency domain. Several properties, including frequency differentiation, convolution, accumulation, and Parseval's relation, offer powerful tools for signal analysis.
The frequency differentiation property is illustrated by considering a DTFT pair and differentiating both sides with respect to ω.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Optics
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Polarised light transmission through brain tissue exhibits polarisation-dependent attenuation (diattenuation).
  • Two types, D+ and D-, were observed, but their underlying mechanisms and relation to tissue properties were unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mechanisms of D+ and D- diattenuation in brain tissue.
  • To determine the relationship between diattenuation and specific tissue properties.
  • To establish Diattenuation Imaging as a valuable technique for brain tissue analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental studies on histological brain sections from rodents, monkeys, and humans.
  • Finite-difference time-domain simulations.
  • Analytical modelling.

Main Results:

  • Both D+ and D- diattenuation were observed across species and correlated with nerve fibre orientation.
  • Diattenuation mechanisms involve anisotropic absorption (dichroism) and anisotropic light scattering.
  • Diattenuation strength and type depend on nerve fibre orientation, tissue homogeneity, fibre size, and myelin sheath thickness.

Conclusions:

  • Diattenuation is influenced by multiple tissue properties beyond nerve fibre orientation.
  • Diattenuation Imaging can differentiate brain regions based on their unique tissue characteristics.
  • This technique offers a novel approach for neuroimaging and tissue characterization.
