- A Functional Connectome of Parkinson's Disease Patients Prior to Deep Brain Stimulation: A Tool for Disease-Specific Connectivity Analyses
No abstract
- Brain Structures and Networks Underlying Treatment Response to Deep Brain Stimulation Targeting the Inferior Thalamic Peduncle in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
CONCLUSIONS: These results identify a tripartite brain network - composed of the bilateral amygdala and prefrontal regions 24 and 46 - whose […]
- Letter: Unforeseen Hurdles Associated With Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Deep Brain Stimulation Devices
No abstract
- Untapped Neuroimaging Tools for Neuro-Oncology: Connectomics and Spatial Transcriptomics
Neuro-oncology research is broad and includes several branches, one of which is neuroimaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is instrumental for […]
- Leukoencephalopathy with brain calcifications and cysts (Labrune syndrome) case report: diagnosis and management of a rare neurological disease
CONCLUSIONS: These findings support that the white matter changes seen in LCC arise as a consequence of ischemia rather than demyelination.
- Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy Sensory Side Effects Follow the Thalamic Structural Homunculus
CONCLUSIONS: Distinct regions in the sensory thalamus and its afferent connections rise to specific sensory disturbances. These findings demonstrate […]
- Evaluating an Image-Guided Operating Room with Cone Beam CT for Skull Base Surgery
Importance Skull base surgery requires precise preoperative assessment and intraoperative management of the patient. Surgical navigation is routinely […]
- Potential optimization of focused ultrasound capsulotomy for obsessive compulsive disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a debilitating and often refractory psychiatric disorder. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound is a novel, […]
- Impact of Mesial Temporal Lobe Resection on Brain Structure in Medically Refractory Epilepsy
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that mesial temporal lobe resection is associated with both volume loss in spared Papez circuitry and changes in […]
- Dysgeusia induced and resolved by focused ultrasound thalamotomy: case report
Dysgeusia, or distorted taste, has recently been acknowledged as a complication of thalamic ablation or thalamic deep brain stimulation as a […]
- Predicting optimal deep brain stimulation parameters for Parkinson's disease using functional MRI and machine learning
Commonly used for Parkinson's disease (PD), deep brain stimulation (DBS) produces marked clinical benefits when optimized. However, assessing the […]
- Mapping autonomic, mood and cognitive effects of hypothalamic region deep brain stimulation
Because of its involvement in a wide variety of cardiovascular, metabolic and behavioural functions, the hypothalamus constitutes a potential target […]
- MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Ablation for Localized Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer: Early Results of a Phase II Trial
No abstract
- Sign-specific stimulation 'hot' and 'cold' spots in Parkinson's disease validated with machine learning
Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus has become a standard therapy for Parkinson's disease. Despite extensive experience, however, the […]
- A literature review of magnetic resonance imaging sequence advancements in visualizing functional neurosurgery targets
CONCLUSIONS: Specialized MRI sequences have enabled considerable improvement in the visualization of common deep brain stimulation targets. With […]
