Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for ...

The UCLA advance opens the door to growing other vascularized organ models, including intestines and colons, providing ...

Ability to map vascular structural and functional vascular metrics to other types of published data. Weaknesses: The key issue here is the underlying assumption about the appropriate spatial sampling ...

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology enables the direct interaction between brain signals and external devices, helping people with neurologic injury communicate with or control real or ...

Robotic implantation of neural electrodes for in-vasive brain-computer interface(BCI) requires precise vascular mapping to avoid major blood vessels. While super-resolution ultrasound imaging offers ...

Notch3-null mice do not show significant changes in pericyte numbers or distribution, suggesting a less prominent role in pericyte development compared to zebrafish. Although many aspects of ...

Objective: To investigate brain functional network (BFN) changes in patients with PSCI after acupuncture therapy. Methods: Twenty-two PSCI patients who underwent acupuncture therapy in our hospital ...

Researchers identify vascular changes in the brain linked to Alzheimer's disease Date: June 26, 2024 Source: Mayo Clinic Summary: The blood-brain barrier -- a network of blood vessels and tissues ...

The blood-brain barrier—a network of blood vessels and tissues that nurtures and protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the blood—is disrupted in Alzheimer's disease.

This image highlights areas of reduced brain activity when experienced musicians were in a high-flow state, compared to a low-flow state. These areas include key nodes of the default mode network.

The reduced blood supply starves brain cells of nutrients and over time they become damaged and die. Symptoms of vascular dementia include loss of energy, lack of concentration and poor memory.

With a new study, UC San Francisco researchers are the first to show how blood vessel cells develop in the prenatal human brain, paving the way to fully understand the role of these cells in healthy ...
