AnalyzeDirect Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for the Assessment of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers valuable structural information about organs and tissues in the body, providing high-resolution images that help diagnose a wide range of conditions and dysfunctions. However, data underlying functional activity of the structure is often limited. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive, in vivo technique complementary to MRI that interrogates…
Hypermetabolism: A Compensatory Mechanism In Alzheimer’s Disease?
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change throughout life. This process can be defined as the potential of the neurons to react to intrinsic or extrinsic inputs and to change, temporarily or permanently, their biochemical, physiological and morphological characteristics. The nervous system is capable of adapting to new developmental and environmental situations or neuropathological…
