In vivo micro-MRI of intracortical neurovasculature.
This work describes a methodology for in vivo MR imaging of arteries and veins within the visual cortex of the cat brain. Very high magnetic fields (9.4 T) and small field-of-view 3D acquisitions were used to image the neurovasculature at resolutions approaching the microscopic scale. A combination of time-of-flight MR angiography and T*(2)-weighted imaging, using both endogenous BOLD contrast ...
متن کاملIn vivo deployment of mechanically adaptive nanocomposites for intracortical microelectrodes.
We recently introduced a series of stimuli-responsive, mechanically adaptive polymer nanocomposites. Here, we report the first application of these bio-inspired materials as substrates for intracortical microelectrodes. Our hypothesis is that the ideal electrode should be initially stiff to facilitate minimal trauma during insertion into the cortex, yet become mechanically compliant to match th...
متن کاملIn Vivo Tracing of Human Umbilical Cord Matrix Stem Cells Useing MRI
Purpose: Human umbilical cord matrix (UCM) (Wharton jelly) stem cells labeling are tracking by MRI. Materials and Methods: After 48 hours incubation with USPIO human umbilical cord matrix (UCM) stem cells were labeled with USPIO by the means of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Prussian blue staining and Atomic absorption spectroscopy were performed to identify and show the iron oxide nanoparticle...
متن کاملLayer-Specific Intracortical Connectivity Revealed with Diffusion MRI
In this work, we show for the first time that the tangential diffusion component is orientationally coherent at the human cortical surface. Using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), we have succeeded in tracking intracortical fiber pathways running tangentially within the cortex. In contrast with histological methods, which reveal little regarding 3-dimensional organization in the huma...
متن کاملIn vivo antiplatelet aggregatory activity of Aloe vera juice on mice cerebral micro vessels
Aloe vera plant (A. vulgari and A. barbadensis) has being used traditionally as a medicinal plant for centuries. Gel from the inner central zone of the leaves and latex from pericyclic cells are used for medicinal purposes. The present study was conducted to elucidate the beneficial effects of Aloe vera juice on the platelet aggregation in cerebral microvessels of mice. Male mice were injected ...
