In a companion paper (Rehm et al., 2004), we introduced Minneapolis Consensus Strip (McStrip), a hybrid algorithm for brain/non-brain segmentation. In this paper, we compare the performance of McStrip and three brain extraction algorithms (BEAs) in widespread use within the neuroimaging community--Statistical Parametric Mapping v.2 (SPM2), Brain Extraction Tool (BET), and Brain Surface Extracto...

The previously characterized ( Rehm , H., and Betz, H. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 10015-10022) neuronal binding protein for the presynaptic neurotoxin beta-bungarotoxin (beta-BuTx) was solubilized from synaptic membrane fractions of chick brain using the nonionic detergent Triton X-100. 125I-beta-BuTx bound to the solubilized protein with a dissociation constant (KD) of 1.9 +/- 0.1 nM. This bin...
