SCHENK, TiH HAGUE INTRODUCTION ONLY a small number of cases of cyclopia in human beings and mammals have been minutely examined. The number becomes still smaller if a more or less complete microscopic investigation of the central nervous system is stipulated. It is really only the cases of Davidson Black and Winkler and perhaps that of Naegli which answer this requirement. In contrast therewith there is an abundance of experimental studies in this field in urodela and other lower classes of animals. For all that, unanimity does not by any means prevail here, although the Protected by copyright. views of Stockard and his followers-who held that the first determination of the eye lay unpaired in the median line-and those of Spemann-who pointed to a paired rudiment from the outset, which views were originally diametrically opposed-appear to have drawn somewhat nearer to each other in recent years. Woerdeman, for instance, found that the paired rudiment of the eye shifts its position laterally downwards very early (when the folds of the medullary plate become visible) and he rightly says that this is not the same as Stockard's lateral growth of an unpaired eye rudiment. Yet, by saying this, he admits certain changes and growth conditions to which Fischel, for instance, did not do full justice. E. Manchot, on the other hand, who defends Stockard's views, admits that between the two regions of the eye http://jnnp.bmj.com/ rudiment there must be a tract of brain tissue (lamina terminalis and regio chiasmatica).

  • Metabolic Responses in Discrete, Mice Brain Regions Like CC, CG, H and CQ During PTZ Induced Epileptic Seizures
    Current Neurobiology 2012; 3 (1): 31-38 ISSN 0975-9042 Scientific Publishers of India Metabolic responses in discrete, Mice brain regions like CC, CG, H and CQ during PTZ induced epileptic seizures. K. K. Therisa and P.V. Desai Department of Zoology, Goa University, Taleigao Plateau, Goa 403206, India. Abstract Epilepsy, a neurological disorder with recurrent seizures, involves disruption of different metabolic enzymes and its related metabolites altering the normal processes of metabolism, either during the onset or post epilepsy in the brain. In the present work, it is convincingly, observed that the Mice brain regions such as Corpus callosum (CC), Cingulate gyrus (CG), Hippocampus (H) and Corpora quadrigemina (CQ) shows significant changes in the activi- ties of metabolic enzymes such as AST, ALT, LDH; ATPases like Na +, K +-ATPase, Mg 2+ - ATPase, Ca 2+ -ATPase along with their metabolites such as Glucose, Pyruvate, Lactate and Glutamate, altering the metabolic integrity during Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced epilep- tic seizure. We report from the present work that, H and CG are affected completely during epileptic seizure as compared to its control but CC and CQ shows partly altered as far as metabolism in brain is concerned.

  • MR Evaluation of Hydrocephalus
    591 MR Evaluation of Hydrocephalus Taher EI Gammal1 An analysis of sagittal T1-weighted MR studies was performed in 23 patients with Marshall B. Allen, Jr.2 hydrocephalus, 58 patients with atrophy, and 100 normal patients. The average rna mil­ Betty Sue Brooks 1 lopontine distance was 1.15 cm for the normal group, 1.2 cm for patients with atrophy, Edward K. Mark2 and 7.5 mm for patients with hydrocephalus. A reduction of the mamillopontine distance below 1.0 cm was found in 22 patients with hydrocephalus,S patients with atrophy, and 15 normal patients. Dilatation of the anterior third ventricle was noted in 21 patients in the hydrocephalus group and in none of the patients in the atrophy and normal groups. The average thickness of the corpus callosum at the level of the foramen of Monro was 6 mm in normal subjects and was reduced below 6 mm in 16 of the hydrocephalus patients. Smooth elevation of the corpus callosum was noted in 20 hydrocephalus patients, in 2 patients with atrophy, and in none of the normal patients. MR improves the accuracy of diagnosis in patients with hydrocephalus both because of its ability to show small obstructing lesions that are not depicted by CT and because the mass effect of the distended supratentorial ventricles produces anatomic changes that are delineated with precision by MR. CT provides incomplete information for diagnosing hydrocephalus produced by very small or isodense pathologic changes in the aqueduct and in the foramen of Monro [1, 2]. Even with advanced CT techniques, use of contrast media in the subarachnoid space and ventricular system was essential in the CT evaluation of some cases of hydrocephalus [3-5].

They are not functional subdivisions of the brain, but serve as a reference for locating specific functions within them. The anterior (rostral) end of the frontal lobe is referred to as the frontal pole. Similarly, the anterior end of the temporal lobe is the temporal pole, and the posterior end of the occipital lobe the occipital pole.

The CNS, in turn, is divided into the brain and the spinal cord, which lie in the cranial cavity of the skull and the vertebral canal, respectively. The CNS and the PNS, acting in concert, integrate sensory information and control motor and cognitive functions. The Central Nervous System (CNS) The adult human brain weighs between 1200 to 1500g and contains about one trillion cells. It occupies a volume of about 1400cc - approximately 2% of the total body weight, and receives 20% of the blood, oxygen, and calories supplied to the body. The adult spinal cord is approximately 40 to 50cm long and occupies about 150cc.

  • Automated Segmentation of Cerebral Ventricular Compartments
    Automated Segmentation of Cerebral Ventricular Compartments 1Wu Y, 2Pohl K, 3Warfield SK, 1Cuttmann CRG. 1Center for Neurological Imaging, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, 221 Longwood Av., Boston, MA 02115 USA, 2Artificial Intelligence Laboratory,http://www.ai.mit.edu Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge MA, USA., 3Surgical Planning Laboratory http://www.spl.harvard.edu Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, 75 Francis St., Boston, MA 02115 USA, Synopsis: Fully automated segmentation of cerebral ventricle chambers, which is designed to discriminate the lateral, third and fourth ventricles, as well as the aqueduct is presented and validated. A novel topology-restricted intensity-based algorithm was extended by incorporating a ventricle probability model for ventricle segmentation, and validated on 124 coronal SPGR sections of a healthy volunteer’s brain. 3D-rendering of the segmented ventricles showed good qualitative delineation of ventricular compartments. Comparison with a radiologist’s manual delineation showed excellent agreement. We expect this method to be useful in clinical studies involving ventricular morphometry and for improving the segmentation of white matter lesions. Introduction: The segmentation of ventricles is important for accurate segmentation of white matter lesions, e.g. in MS. by reducing the misclassification of lesions caused by choroid plexus and partial volume artifacts at the surface of ventricles. Also, one in five hundred newborn in U.S. suffers from congenital or acquired hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus also occurs in adults as a result of head trauma, meningitis, tumors or cysts. Enlarged ventricles are also observed in AD, MS and schizophrenia patients. The quantitative measurement, as well as 3D display of ventricles using segmentation in vivo can be expected to be of value in differential diagnosis, disease characterization and follow-up.
