Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy

2.6K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

Functional Brain Systems: Reticular Formation

2.8K
The reticular formation is a complex network of gray and white matter located within the brainstem extending from the medulla to the midbrain.
Within the reticular formation, there are several distinct nuclei that can be classified into three broad categories. The Raphe nuclei are located along the midline of the brainstem. They are primarily known for their role in synthesizing and releasing serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, appetite, sleep, and circadian rhythms. The...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Systems Neuroscience
  • Optical Imaging

Background:

  • Resting-state fMRI provides macroscale brain network insights.
  • Current fMRI resolution is insufficient for detailed cortical architecture analysis.
  • Higher resolution imaging is needed to understand fine-grained network organization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if higher contrast and resolution resting-state imaging can reveal cortical connectivity with columnar granularity.
  • To benchmark resting-state intrinsic signal optical imaging (RS-ISOI) against established neurophysiological and anatomical methods.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal experiments (~1.5 years) in squirrel monkeys.
  • Partitioning sensorimotor cortex using dense microelectrode mapping.
  • Recording resting-state with intrinsic signal optical imaging (RS-ISOI) at 20 µm/pixel resolution.
  • Benchmarking FC maps against microstimulation-evoked activation and traced anatomical connections.

Main Results:

  • Functional connectivity (FC) maps derived from RS-ISOI showed high correspondence with microstimulation-evoked activation and anatomical connections.
  • The fidelity of RS-ISOI FC maps to known cortical connections confirms the presence of granular network details in resting-state data.
  • RS-ISOI demonstrated a field-of-view and resolution suitable for detailed cortical network mapping.

Conclusions:

  • Resting-state intrinsic signal optical imaging (RS-ISOI) can resolve cortical connectivity at a granular level, approaching columnar organization.
  • RS-ISOI effectively bridges the resolution gap between traditional fMRI and invasive techniques like 2-photon imaging and electrophysiology.
  • This high-resolution technique offers significant potential for mapping cortical networks in living animals with unprecedented detail.
