This study presents a computer-based tool for three-dimensional (3D) visualization of the optic pathway and oculomotor system using 3D high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) datasets from a healthy subject. The 3D models were built as wireframe grids co-registered with MRI sections. First, 3D anatomical models were generated of the visual pathway from the eyeball to the primary visual cortex and of the cranial oculomotor nerves from the brain stem to the extrinsic eye muscles. Second, a graphical user interface allowed individual and group visualization, translation, rotation and zooming of the 3D models in different spatial positions simultaneously with MRI orthogonal cut planes. Educational and clinical applications are also discussed.

The human brain is an intricate network of cortical regions interconnected by white matter pathways, dynamically supporting cognitive functions. While cortical asymmetries have been consistently reported, the asymmetry of white matter connections remains less explored. This chapter provides a brief overview of asymmetries observed at the cortical, subcortical, cytoarchitectural, and receptor levels before exploring the detailed connectional anatomy of the human brain.

Higginsianin F (1), a previously undescribed diterpenoid α-pyridone skeleton featuring a unique N-hydroxyethyl-3-(5-acetyl-4-hydroxy)-α-pyridone ring, along with three undescribed diterpenoid pyrones, higginsianins G-I (2-4), were isolated from the mycelium of the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum. Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive analysis using NMR, HRESIMS, and ECD experiments. The absolute configuration of compound 2 was determined to be opposite to the other three compounds based on ECD experiments and the measured optical rotation value.

Increasing age and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) are the two major risk factors for glaucoma, the most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Accumulating evidence is pointing to metabolic failure predisposing to neuronal loss with advancing age and IOP injury. Many neurotransmitters are synthesized from endogenous metabolites and are essential for correct cell to cell signaling along the visual pathways.

Plant-microorganism interactions underlie many ecosystem roles, in particular the enhancement of plant nutrition through mutualistic relationships, such as the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis that affects a large proportion of land plants. The establishment of this interaction induces a wide range of signaling pathways in which lipids, and particularly sterols, may play a central role. However, their supported functions are poorly known.

Aims/hypothesis: Signalling pathways that regulate endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, ischaemia and inflammation play a crucial role in retinal microangiopathy such as diabetic retinopathy. MAP4K4 is highly expressed in ECs. However, the involvement of MAP4K4 in retinal vasculopathy of diabetic retinopathy remains unclear.
