Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex (PFC), recovers after injury and focuses on low-frequency oscillatory activity (LFO) as a key factor in this process.
- Data were collected from a patient, E.L., who had significant PFC damage due to an accident, and assessments included various clinical and neuropsychological tests to understand the relationship between LFO and cognitive function.
- Findings revealed that LFO activity varied with movement and brain hemisphere recruitment, suggesting potential targets for neuromodulation to improve executive functions, highlighting differences between E.L. and historical cases like Phineas Gage regarding cognitive impairments.
Technological innovations accompanying advances in medicine have given rise to the possibility of obtaining better-defined fetal images that assist in medical diagnosis and contribute toward genetic counseling offered to parents during the prenatal period. In this article, we show our innovative experience of diagnosing fetal malformations through correlating 3-dimensional ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography, which are accurate techniques for fetal assessment, with a fetal image reconstruction technique to create physical fetal models.
