Interslice Magnetization Transfer Ratio Imaging for Meningioma Detection

Begin with a patient with meningioma, or a brain tumor, positioned in an MRI scanner for non-invasive brain imaging.Adjust the scanner to obtain structural images of individual slices of the brain.Enhance the contrast to improve tissue differentiation.Use interslice magnetization transfer ratio imaging on brain slices using radiofrequency pulses slightly offset from the MRI signal.The pulses deliver energy to the proton pool in macromolecules and bound water molecules.This energy transfers to...

Histological Examination of Mitochondrial Morphology in a Parkinson's Disease Model

This study presents a method to analyze the morphology of mitochondria based on immunostaining and image analysis in mouse brain tissue in situ. It also describes how this allows one to detect changes in mitochondrial morphology induced by protein aggregation in Parkinson's disease...

Antipsychotic Drugs: Typical and Atypical Agents01:21

Antipsychotic Drugs: Typical and Atypical Agents

Antipsychotic drugs are classified into first-generation (typical) drugs including phenothiazines; and second-generation (atypical) drugs. Chlorpromazine hydrochloride (Thorazine), a phenothiazine derivative, broadly impacts the central, autonomic, and endocrine systems. This drug, along with typical agents like haloperidol (Haldol), primarily works by antagonizing D2 receptors, thus reducing dopaminergic neurotransmission. However, typical antipsychotics can cause side effects such as sedation...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment01:24

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...
