Following VIIIth nerve stimulation, field potentials recorded in the contralateral vestibular nuclei of isolated medullae are larger in amplitude and more sensitive to atropine in chronically hemilabyrinthectomized frogs than those of controls. The atropine-sensitive component occurs at a latency which precludes involvement of the monosynaptic commissural projection between second order vestibular neurons. Therefore, in addition to this commissural projection, the contributions of more indirect pathways have to be considered in an attempt to understand the neuronal basis of behavioral improvement following vestibular lesions.

White Matter Tract Crossing and Bottleneck Regions in the Fetal Brain.
Hum Brain Mapp
January 2025
Computational Radiology Laboratory, Department of Radiology, Boston Children's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
There is a growing interest in using diffusion MRI to study the white matter tracts and structural connectivity of the fetal brain. Recent progress in data acquisition and processing suggests that this imaging modality has a unique role in elucidating the normal and abnormal patterns of neurodevelopment in utero. However, there have been no efforts to quantify the prevalence of crossing tracts and bottleneck regions, important issues that have been investigated for adult brains.

This study presents the construction of a comprehensive spatiotemporal atlas of white matter tracts in the fetal brain for every gestational week between 23 and 36 wk using diffusion MRI (dMRI). Our research leverages data collected from fetal MRI scans, capturing the dynamic changes in the brain's architecture and microstructure during this critical period. The atlas includes 60 distinct white matter tracts, including commissural, projection, and association fibers.

Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia but the functional significance of WMH in specific white matter (WM) tracts is unclear. We investigate whether WMH burden within major WM fibre classes and individual WM tracts are differentially associated with different neuropsychiatric syndromes in a large multicentre study.
Method: Neuroimaging and neuropsychiatric data of seven memory clinic cohorts through the Meta VCI Map consortium were harmonised.
Anatomical Study of the Larynx With Implications for Medialization Thyroplasty.

Objetives: Montgomery medialization thyroplasty involves fitting a silicone prosthesis in the thyroid cartilage according to gender-based placement criteria. This standardized procedure can lead in some cases to suboptimal results. The aim of this study is to identify individual anatomical differences between same-gender patients that could explain the occasional failures.

Introduction: Esketamine has demonstrated acute antidepressant effects in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). This study investigated whether these effects associate with reversible white matter fiber integrity recovery using diffusion imaging.
Method: Twenty patients with MDD and 20 healthy controls received 2-week esketamine treatment.
