Perinatal asphyxia is a leading cause of brain injury in neonates, occurring in 2-4 per 1,000 live births, and there are limited treatment options. Because of their similarity to humans, nonhuman primates are ideal for performing preclinical tests of safety and efficacy for neurotherapeutic interventions. We previously developed a primate model of acute perinatal asphyxia using 12-15 min of umb...

Screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) shows high efficiency and is widely used in real-time 3D applications. However, using SSAO algorithms stereo rendering can lead to inconsistencies due the differences screen-space information captured by left right eye. This will affect perception of scene may be a source viewer discomfort. In this paper, we show that raw obscurance estimation part subseque...

In this article I would present evidence to show that timing of the flow of neural signals within the ventral visual stream is a crucial part of the neural code for categorization of faces. We recorded the activity of 554 inferotemporal neurons from two macaque monkeys performing a fixation task. More than 1000 object images including human and non-primate animal faces were presented up to 10 t...

A fundamental question about the function of the primate including human hippocampus is whether object as well as allocentric spatial information is represented. Recordings were made from single hippocampal formation neurons while macaques performed an object-place memory task that required the monkeys to learn associations between objects and where they were shown in a room. Some neurons (10%)...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our purpose was to determine whether cerebral perfusion functional CT (fCT), performed after endovascular middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, can be used to predict final cerebral infarction extent in a primate model. METHODS fCT with bolus tracking was performed before and 30 and 150 minutes after 3-hour digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-guided endovascular MCA...
