midbrain

These perforating arteries are of utmost importance and irrigate the posterior part of the thalamus, medial ventral thalami, the walls of the third ventricle, hypothalamus, and subthalamic-mesencephalic junctions (subthalamus, substantia nigra, red nucleus, oculomotor nucleus, trochlear nucleus, reticular formation of the midbrain, pretectum, rhomboid fossa, and the posterior part of the internal capsule) [7-17].

In the next sections, we compare the different techniques generating midbrain dopaminergic neurons and basal forebrain cholinergic neurons from hPSCs.

The baby was also missing parts of the nervous system including sections of the brain stem, the spinal cord and the midbrain, which controls eye movements and processes information from the eyes and ears.

Brain computed tomography revealed symmetrical areas of calcification in bilateral basal ganglia, thalamus, centrum semiovale, midbrain, and cerebellum [Figure 1]a,[Figure 1]b,[Figure 1]c,[Figure 1]d.

BOISE, Idaho, February 13, 2016 -- While scientists are unsure of the molecular causes of Parkinson's disease, they do know the disorder's tremors and other motor dysfunctions are linked to a loss of dopaminergic neurons located in the substantia nigra, a structure in the midbrain.

A CNS population of neuronal subtypes modeling the midbrain and Astrocytes will also be launched in Q2 of 2015.

The NIH researchers developed a human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-based system for producing connections between neurons from two brain regions, the neocortex and midbrain.

MR-Angiogram-Normal, subacute infarcts in bilateral thalamic region and periaqueductal region of midbrain. B/L carotid and vertebral artery Doppler showed Left CCA bulb calcified plaque extending into proximal ICA causing around 46-49% stenosis.

Incidentally noted was a small focus of brush-like enhancement in the right midbrain (Figures 1 and 2) with only subtle corresponding T2-signal abnormality and signal susceptibility on fast-field gradient echo sequences (Figure 3).

As the Stanford team found, oxytocin acting at the nucleus accumbens wasn't simply squirted into general circulation, as hormones typically are, but was secreted at this spot by another nerve tract originating in the hypothalamus, a multifunction midbrain structure.

The 'face of the giant panda' sign, seen on axial T2-weighted MRI, results from abnormal signal intensities in the midbrain. Though uncommon, the sign is regarded as the pathognomonic MRI sign of Wilson disease.

We further evaluated the role of the pathway as a mediator of metal-induced toxicity using the in vitro midbrain micromass culture assay.
