Purpose: Inhomogeneities of the main magnetic field cause line broadening and location-dependent frequency shifts in brain MRSI. These are often visible despite advanced B shimming. The purpose of this work is to propose an advanced B correction method that can easily be applied during postprocessing.
Methods: A target-driven overdiscrete reconstruction method previously introduced for MRSI is modified by dividing it into two steps. In a first step, an intermediate spectroscopic image with arbitrarily high resolution is generated, on which B correction is performed as an additional processing step based on an additionally acquired B map. This frequency-aligns metabolite peaks and destroys noise correlations between neighboring subvoxels. Second, the voxel is shaped by application of the spatial response target. The method was tested with simulated spectroscopic imaging data as well as in a series of MRSI data sets obtained from four healthy volunteers at 7T.
Results: A systematic gain in spectral signal-to-noise ratio is achieved, due to spatial averaging now occurring over peak aligned and noise decorrelated subvoxel spectra. At the same time, metabolite peak line widths are reduced.
Conclusion: In the presence of B inhomogeneities across the field of view, the proposed method offers the potential to improve spectral quality with only a minimal additional effort during acquisition. Magn Reson Med 77:44-56, 2017. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Airborne transient electromagnetic (ATEM) surveys provide a fast, flexible approach for identifying conductive metal deposits across a variety of intricate terrains. Nonetheless, the secondary electromagnetic response signals captured by ATEM systems frequently suffer from numerous noise interferences, which impede effective data processing and interpretation. Traditional denoising methods often fall short in addressing these complex noise backgrounds, leading to less-than-optimal signal extraction.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), affecting 4% of the population, is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity; however, its neurophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we discovered that deficiency of histamine H receptor (HR) in parvalbumin-positive neurons in substantia nigra pars recticulata (PV) attenuates PV neuronal activity and induces hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention in mice. Moreover, decreased HR expression was observed in PV in patients with ADHD symptoms and dopamine-transporter-deficient mice, whose behavioral phenotypes were alleviated by HR agonist treatment.

The basal ganglia play a crucial role in action selection by facilitating desired movements and suppressing unwanted ones. The substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), a key output nucleus, facilitates movement through disinhibition of the superior colliculus (SC). However, its role in action suppression, particularly in primates, remains less clear.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers high-quality soft tissue imaging without radiation exposure, which allows stereotactic techniques to significantly improve outcomes in cranial surgeries, particularly in deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures. However, conventional stereotactic neurosurgeries often rely on mechanical stereotactic head frames and preoperative imaging, leading to suboptimal results due to the invisibility and the contact with patient's head, which may cause additional harm. This paper presents a frameless, MRI-guided stereotactic neurosurgical robotic system.

As the application of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) continues to expand, its stability and safety issues are receiving more and more attention, especially the interference problem. Interference reduces the signal reception quality of ground terminals and may even lead to the paralysis of GNSS function in severe cases. In recent years, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites have been highly emphasized for their unique advantages in GNSS interference detection, and related commercial and academic activities have increased rapidly.
