Intraoperative image-guided surgical navigation for craniospinal procedures has significantly improved accuracy by providing an avenue for the surgeon to visualize underlying internal structures corresponding to the exposed surface anatomy. Despite the obvious benefits of surgical navigation, surgeon adoption remains relatively low due to long setup and registration times, steep learning curves, and workflow disruptions. We introduce an experimental navigation system utilizing optical topographical imaging (OTI) to acquire the 3D surface anatomy of the surgical cavity, enabling visualization of internal structures relative to exposed surface anatomy from registered preoperative images.

- Recent advancements in imaging for the central nervous system include techniques like optical coherence tomography and fluorescence-guided surgery, improving spatial and temporal resolution.
- The development of imaging-based atlases is showcased, emphasizing their application in clinical scenarios.
- Finally, the integration of these imaging tools with neuronavigation techniques is discussed, aiming to enhance surgical guidance and outcomes.
Background: This study examined preschoolers' emotion regulation (ER) strategies and the association with temperament, maternal interactive style, and maternal history of childhood-onset depression (COD).
Methods: Participants were 62 children and their mothers, 37 of whom had mothers with COD. Children's ER was assessed using a disappointment paradigm; temperament assessment also was laboratory-based.
