Article Synopsis
- Pareidolias are perceptual deficits where people see meaningful shapes in ambiguous visuals, studied in neurodegenerative diseases using a noise pareidolia test.
- This research explored differences between paper-based and digital testing methods for pareidolias among healthy individuals and patients with Alzheimer's, DLB, and Parkinson's disease.
- Results show that pareidolic perceptions remain consistent in both testing formats, and digital testing on smartphones can effectively maintain the functionality of assessing these visual illusions.
Genipin was reacted with benzylamine and several amino acids to prepare gardenia blue (GB). The time-course of GB formation with benzylamine was monitored by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOFMS), and H and C NMR measurements. In this experiment, we determined the molecular structures of some intermediates using accurate masses and additional NMR techniques such as heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC).

Objective/hypothesis: The aim of this pilot study is to clarify the safety and feasibility of multiple diagonal-transcranial direct current stimulation (d-tDCS) sessions up to 3 months with electrodes placed diagonally over the lesional dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and contralesional primary motor cortex for upper limb hemiparesis in acute stroke.
Methods: Five patients with acute stroke (2 with intracerebral hemorrhage and 3 with cerebral infarction) with upper limb paresis participated.
