Opposing genetic and cultural-social explanations for the origin of language are currently the focus of much discussion. One of the functions linked to the longitudinal fascicle is language, which links Wernicke's area and Broca's area in the brain, and its size should indicate the brain increase in the evolution. Sapajus is a New World primate genus with high cognition and advanced tool use similar to that of chimpanzees. A study of the gross anatomy of the longitudinal fascicle of Sapajus using Kingler's method found it to differ from other studied primates, such as macaques and chimpanzees, mainly because its fibers join the cingulate fascicle. As in other non-human primates, the longitudinal fascicle of Sapajus does not reach the temporal lobe, which could indicate a way of separating these fascicles to increase white matter in relation to individual function. The study of anatomical structures seems very promising for understanding the basis of the origin of language. Indeed, socio-historical-cultural philosophy affirms the socio-cultural origin of speech, although considering the anatomical structures behind it working as a functional system.
Purpose: Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy is a common form of focal drug resistant epilepsy in adults. Various mesial temporal lobe structures are integral in the genesis of temporal seizures and the hippocampal sclerosis is the primary neuropathological finding in these cases. Surgical treatment is considered the preferred management.
Introduction: Ultrasound (US) imaging has emerged as a promising tool for assessing age-related muscle changes. This meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate the associations between US parameters and muscle strength, as well as sarcopenia-related functional performance in older adults by integrating data from multiple studies.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase until June 2023.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a type of brain tumor that often spreads to nearby brain structures, mainly found in the frontal lobe.
Researchers are trying to understand where GBM usually grows in the brain and how certain gene changes affect its behavior.
Although tumors are often bigger on the right side of the brain, those on the left side may be more aggressive, making the prognosis worse for patients with GBM in that area.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the utility of narrow-band imaging (NBI) for improving intraneural dissection during gross total resection of head and neck schwannoma. Specifically, we aimed to quantitatively evaluate whether NBI can enhance the identification of pseudocapsule and true capsule within the tumor.
Methods: Nine schwannoma surgery cases conducted between February 2018 and October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
Background: Older adults exhibit a slower recovery of muscle mass following disuse atrophy than young adults. At a smaller scale, muscle fibre cross-sectional area (i.e.
