    3D Histological Reconstruction of Fiber Tracts and Direct Comparison with Diffusion Tensor MRI Tractography Julien Dauguet1, Sharon Peled2, Vladimir Berezovskii3, Thierry Delzescaux4, Simon K. Warfield1, Richard Born3, and Carl-Fredrik Westin5 1 Computational Radiology Laboratory, Children’s Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA 2 Harvard Center for Neurodegeneration and Repair, Boston, USA 3 Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA 4 Service Hospitalier Fr´ed´eric Joliot, CEA, Orsay, France 5 Laboratory of Mathematics in Imaging, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA Abstract. A classical neural tract tracer, WGA-HRP, was injected at multiple sites within the brain of a macaque monkey. Histological sections of the labeled fiber tracts were reconstructed in 3D, and the fibers were segmented and registered with the anatomical post-mortem MRI from the same animal. Fiber tracing along the same pathways was performed on the DTI data using a classical diffusion tracing technique. The fibers derived from the DTI were compared with those segmented from the histology in order to evaluate the performance of DTI fiber tracing. While there was generally good agreement between the two methods, our results reveal certain limitations of DTI tractography, particularly at regions of fiber tract crossing or bifurcation. 1 Introduction Tracing neural connections lies at the heart of neuroanatomy, and has profound implications for the study of neural function and for the study of developmental and adult plasticity of the nervous system. It is also important for the study of neurodegenerative diseases, and for the planning of neurosurgical procedures, such as tumor ablation.

  • Stimulus Arousal Drives Amygdalar Responses to Emotional
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Stimulus arousal drives amygdalar responses to emotional expressions across sensory modalities Huiyan Lin1,2,4*, Miriam Müller-Bardorf2,4, Bettina Gathmann2,4, Jaqueline Brieke2, Martin Mothes-Lasch2, Maximilian Bruchmann2, Wolfgang H. R. Miltner3 & Thomas Straube2 The factors that drive amygdalar responses to emotionally signifcant stimuli are still a matter of debate – particularly the proneness of the amygdala to respond to negatively-valenced stimuli has been discussed controversially. Furthermore, it is uncertain whether the amygdala responds in a modality-general fashion or whether modality-specifc idiosyncrasies exist. Therefore, the present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study systematically investigated amygdalar responding to stimulus valence and arousal of emotional expressions across visual and auditory modalities. During scanning, participants performed a gender judgment task while prosodic and facial emotional expressions were presented. The stimuli varied in stimulus valence and arousal by including neutral, happy and angry expressions of high and low emotional intensity. Results demonstrate amygdalar activation as a function of stimulus arousal and accordingly associated emotional intensity regardless of stimulus valence. Furthermore, arousal-driven amygdalar responding did not depend on the visual and auditory modalities of emotional expressions. Thus, the current results are consistent with the notion that the amygdala codes general stimulus relevance across visual

We show that speech is supported by a largely undocumented core of structural and functional connectivity between the central sulcus (CS or primary motor and somatosensory cortex) and the transverse temporal gyrus (TTG or primary auditory cortex). Anatomically, we show that CS and TTG cortical thickness covary across individuals and that they are connected by white matter tracts.

The present study investigated the effects of opioid blockade, via naltrexone, on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures during methamphetamine cue-reactivity to elucidate the role of endogenous opioids in the neural systems underlying drug craving. To investigate = = = this question, non-treatment seeking individuals with methamphetamine use disorder (N 23; 74% male, mean age 34.70 (SD 8.95)) were recruited for a randomized, placebo controlled, within-subject design and underwent a visual methamphetamine cue-reactivity task during two blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) fMRI sessions following 3 days of naltrexone (50 mg) and matched time for placebo. fMRI analyses tested naltrexone-induced differences in BOLD activation and functional connectivity during cue processing. The results showed that naltrexone administration reduced cue-reactivity in sensorimotor regions and related to altered functional connectivity of dorsal striatum, ventral tegmental area, and precuneus with frontal, visual, sensory, and motor-related regions. Naltrexone also weakened the associations between subjective craving and precuneus functional connectivity with sensorimotor regions and strengthened the associations between subjective craving and dorsal striatum and precuneus connectivity with frontal regions.
