Objective: To report temporal lobe surgery for a cavernous hemangioma in a dog and outcome.

Study Design: Clinical report.

Animals: Dog (n = 1).

Methods: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was used to identify a temporal lobe mass in 9-year-old, male neutered Labrador Retriever that had a 12 hour history of seizures. An approach to the temporal lobe allowed preservation of the zygomatic arch and mass removal.

Results: The mass was confirmed as a cavernous hemangioma on histopathology. Repeat MR imaging at 13 months showed no recurrence of gross structural disease; however, the dog's anti-epileptic medication was administered for adequate seizure control.

Conclusion: Temporal lobe surgery can be performed in the dog's for the management of temporal lobe mass lesions.

Interpersonal interaction is essential to romantic couples. Understanding how gender impacts an individual's brain activities during intimate interaction is crucial. The present study examined gender differences in oxyhemoglobin (oxy-Hb) changes during real-time drawing interactions between members of romantic couples using non-invasive functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

Relationship between functional structures and horizontal connections in macaque inferior temporal cortex.

Sci Rep

Department of Neurosurgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital, Interdisciplinary Institute of Neuroscience and Technology, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

Horizontal connections in anterior inferior temporal cortex (ITC) are thought to play an important role in object recognition by integrating information across spatially separated functional columns, but their functional organization remains unclear. Using a combination of optical imaging, electrophysiological recording, and anatomical tracing, we investigated the relationship between stimulus-response maps and patterns of horizontal axon terminals in the macaque ITC. In contrast to the "like-to-like" connectivity observed in the early visual cortex, we found that horizontal axons in ITC do not preferentially connect sites with similar object selectivity.

Our previous in silico data indicated an overrepresentation of the ZF5 motif in the promoters of genes in which circadian oscillations are altered in the ventral hippocampus in the pilocarpine model of temporal lobe epilepsy in mice. In this study, we test the hypothesis that the Zbtb14 protein oscillates in the hippocampus in a diurnal manner and that this oscillation is disrupted by epilepsy. We found that Zbtb14 immunostaining is present in the cytoplasm and cell nuclei.

Prediction of Pharmacoresistance in Drug-Naïve Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Using Ictal EEGs Based on Convolutional Neural Network.

Neurosci Bull

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Neuropharmacology and Translational Medicine of Zhejiang Province, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (Xinhua Hospital), Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, 310053, China.

Approximately 30%-40% of epilepsy patients do not respond well to adequate anti-seizure medications (ASMs), a condition known as pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The management of pharmacoresistant epilepsy remains an intractable issue in the clinic. Its early prediction is important for prevention and diagnosis.

Background: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is associated with abnormal changes in the brain's central nervous system. Previous studies on the brain networks of SSNHL have primarily focused on functional connectivity within the brain. However, in addition to functional connectivity, structural connectivity also plays a crucial role in brain networks.
