Three-Dimensional Visualization with Large Data Sets: A Simulation of Spreading Cortical Depression in Human Brain
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed 3D simulation software of human organs/tissues; we developed a database to store the related data, a data management system to manage the created data, and a metadata system for the management of data. This approach provides two benefits: first of all the developed system does not require to keep the patient's/subject's medical images on the system, providing less memory usage. Besides the system also provides 3D simulation and modification options, which will help clinicians to use necessary tools for visualization and modification operations. The developed system is tested in a case study, in which a 3D human brain model is created and simulated from 2D MRI images of a human brain, and we extended the 3D model to include the spreading cortical depression (SCD) wave front, which is an electrical phoneme that is believed to cause the migraine.

The Neuroprotective Effects of Long-Term Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on the Cortical Spreading Depression-induced Damages in Rat’s Brain
Introduction: Cortical Spreading Depression (CSD) is a propagating wave of neural and glial cell depolarization with important role in several clinical disorders. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a potential tool with preventive treatment effects in psychiatric and neuronal disorders. In this paper, we study the effects of rTMS on CSD by using behavioral and histological a...
متن کاملModeling the spreading cortical depression wavefront.
Spreading cortical depression (SCD) is a wave of depolarization that spreads across the cortex at 2-5 mm/min and is followed by a 5-10 minute reduction in EEG activity. It is assumed that SCD is involved in the pathophysiology of migraine. We present a new model and a visualization technique for the spread of excitation on realistic brain surfaces. The usefulness of the technique is demonstrate...

Background & Aims : Spreading depression is a pathophysiological phenomenon that is initiated by a self-propagating depolarization wave with a short-term excitability and is followed immediately by an inhibitory phase and then continues with a long-term secondary excitability. Spreading depression has a critical role in many disorders such as migraine and seizures . The purpose of this stud...
متن کاملP 23: Apoptosis Following Cortical Spreading Depression in Juvenile Rats
Introduction: Repetitive cortical spreading depression (CSD) can lead to cell death in immature brain tissue. Caspases are involved in neuronal cell death in several CSD-related neurological disorders. Yet, whether repetitive CSD itself can induce caspase activation in adult or juvenile tissue remains unknown. Inducing repetitive CSD in somatosensory cortices of juvenile and adult rats in vivo,...
متن کاملP141: The Role of Microglia in Cortical Spreading Depression in Migraine
Migraine is a disorder that afflicts nearly one tenth of the population. Involving both nervous and vascular system, it has been found as a prominent factor of disability. The migraine attacks may be initiated in the brainstem or may begin peripherally in the meninges while the role of cortical activation preceding an attack is also debated. Although available treatments, more studies on migrai...
