The project entails preparing and analyzing Nissl and immunostained sections through the human brainstem. Tissue has been obtained from the Witelson Normal Brain Collection. Structures to be analyzed ...

The brain stem is a portion of the brain made of four distinct sections: the diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons, and medulla oblongata. Each of these sections has associated functions which are vital ...

Novel, fully digital, high-resolution positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging of small brain stem nuclei can provide clinicians with valuable information concerning the ...

3D projections of the QSM χ maps on the rendered brainstem ROI extracted from the FreeSurfer segmentation for the healthy control group and the COVID group. The COVID group shows increased χ in the ...

The brainstem, wedged between the spinal cord and the cortex, collects sensory input and distributes it throughout the brain, where it affects all manner of cognitive processing. For example, input ...

Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is surprisingly common in athletes and may signal chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) caused by brainstem tau and Lewy body pathologies, new ...
