The authors analyzed the results of the rheoencephalographic examination of the cerebral hemodynamics under graded exercise (GE) in 42 normal subjects and 60 patients with cerebral atherosclerosis. All individuals were males aged 40-59 years. It was shown that an increase in the blood content of the brain in the process of GE in the patients with cerebral atherosclerosis was significantly lower than in the normal subjects. With a greater volume of the work done the difference became more pronounced. According to the nature of the response to GE the cerebral hemodynamics in the patients was divided into compensated, subcompensated and decompensated types.

Purpose: Bypass surgery is regarded as the standard treatment option for symptomatic and hemodynamically unstable moyamoya disease (MMD). However, there is ongoing debate about the most effective type of bypass surgery. We aimed to analyze the long-term outcomes of combined and indirect bypasses for MMD patients through intra-individual comparisons.

High-resolution awake mouse functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) remains challenging despite extensive efforts to address motion-induced artifacts and stress. This study introduces an implantable radio frequency (RF) surface coil design that minimizes image distortion caused by the air/tissue interface of mouse brains while simultaneously serving as a headpost for fixation during scanning. Furthermore, this study provides a thorough acclimation method used to accustom animals to the MRI environment minimizing motion-induced artifacts.

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is characterized by intense central inflammation, leading to substantial post-hemorrhagic complications such as vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia. Given the anti-inflammatory effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) and its ability to promote brain plasticity, taVNS has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for SAH patients. However, the effects of taVNS on cardiovascular dynamics in critically ill patients, like those with SAH, have not yet been investigated.

Background: Stroop task is used to evaluate inhibition, a core executive function. Alpha Event-Related Desynchronization (ERD) from analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) during Stroop task reflects brain interference processing. We previously reported different relationships between heart rate variability (HRV) and alpha ERD during Stroop task.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a form of dementia that impairs memory, language, and daily functioning. With disease progression, AD patients reportedly experience disturbances in their awareness of self, others, and their environment. These disturbances are associated with unfavourable clinical outcomes, which prompts critical questions about how AD patients experience the world around them.
