In hemimegalencephaly, MR imaging often reveals mid-sagittal band-like structures between the lateral ventricles. We describe the clinical presentation, morphologic abnormalities, conventional MR imaging, diffusion tensor MR and fiber tract (FT) reconstruction in a 14-year-old boy with unilateral hemimegalencephaly. We retrospectively examined MR images to determine whether these structures are aberrant mid-sagittal fibers.

Influence of the Vertek aiming device on the surgical accuracy of computer-assisted drilling of the equine distal sesamoid bone-An experimental cadaveric study.
Vet Surg

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how the Vertek aiming device (VAD) affects the accuracy of drilling for surgery on the distal sesamoid bone (DSB) in equine cadaver specimens.
- A total of 30 paired limbs from 15 horses were tested using two methods: traditional free-hand drilling and assisted drilling with the VAD, comparing the resulting accuracy of the bone tunnels created.
- Results showed that the VAD significantly improved the accuracy of the drilling process, with lower surgical accuracy aberrations in the VAD group compared to the free-hand group, suggesting its potential usefulness in surgical settings for DSB fracture repairs.
Aberrant interhemispheric structural and functional connectivity within whole brain in schizophrenia.

Objective: Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder whose etiology remains unclear. Although numerous studies have analyzed the abnormal gray matter functional activity and whole-brain anatomical changes in schizophrenia, fMRI signal fluctuations from white matter have usually been ignored and rarely reported in the literature.
Methods: We employed 45 schizophrenia subjects and 75 healthy controls (HCs) from a publicly available fMRI dataset.
Abnormal sonographic appearance of posterior brain at 11-14 weeks and fetal outcome.
Prenat Diagn
July 2015
Fetal Medicine Unit, Di Venere and Sarcone Hospitals, Bari, Italy.
Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the sonographic appearance of the posterior brain anatomy in normal fetuses at 11 to 14 weeks of pregnancy and to determine the fetal outcome when one of the posterior brain anatomical space is not recognized.
Methods: Two groups of patients were included in the study: a control group of consecutive 311 healthy fetuses with a normal sonogram and a study group of 21 fetuses with absence of one of the three posterior brain spaces. In each fetus, images of the mid-sagittal view of the fetal face and brain at 11 to 14 weeks of gestation were obtained.
Corpus callosum deficits in antipsychotic-naïve schizophrenia: evidence for neurodevelopmental pathogenesis.
Psychiatry Res
May 2010
Department of Psychiatry, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
The corpus callosum (CC), the largest inter-hemispheric tract connecting the association cortices, has been shown to be affected in disorders with aberrant neurodevelopment. Previous studies that investigated CC abnormalities in schizophrenia have reported mixed findings potentially due to various confounding factors. In this study, we used magnetic resonance imaging to examine a large sample of antipsychotic-naïve schizophrenia patients (n=66) in comparison with age-, sex-, and handedness-matched (as a group) healthy comparison subjects (n=46).
