Peri-Ictal and Ictal Cognitive Dysfunction in Epilepsy by Lavanya Vijayaraghavan, Subbulakshmy Natarajan, Ennapadam Srinivas Krishnamoorthy

“…Factors contributing to cognitive dysfunction are the type of epilepsy, type and frequency of seizures, anti-epileptic drugs and the location of underlying brain lesions. Whilst a great deal of attention has been paid to permanent cognitive impairment, the nature and underlying mechanisms of ictal and peri-ictal cognitive changes are poorly understood. …”

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Submandibular Gland, Locoregional Recurrence, and a Solitary Liver Metastasis More Than 30 Years Since Primary Diagnosis by A. Coupland, A. Sewpaul, A. Darne, S. White

“…The preferential sites of metastases are the lung and bone, followed by the brain and liver. Most liver metastases are derived from nonparotid ACCs, and the presentation is often related to local recurrence or metastases to other organs. …”

Robotic Vision with the Conformal Camera: Modeling Perisaccadic Perception by Jacek Turski

“…Humans make about 3 saccades per second at the eyeball's speed of 700 deg/sec to reposition the high-acuity fovea on the targets of interest to build up understanding of a scene. The brain's visuosaccadic circuitry uses the oculomotor command of each impending saccade to shift receptive fields (RFs) to cortical locations before the eyes take them there, giving a continuous and stable view of the world. …”

Love Addiction - Current Diagnostic and Therapeutic Paradigms in Clinical Psychology. by Marilena Giovanna Maglia, Ines Lanzafame, Maria C Quattropani, Pasquale Caponnetto

“… # Conclusions Group psychotherapy has proved to be a valid alternative, in fact the scientific landscape suggests that most group therapies are successful because these dynamics involve the reward and attachment systems in the brain in most subjects. Although there is currently no official classification for this type of addiction, the continuing interests of clinical psychology open up new scenarios for achieving greater psychophysical well-being.…”

Effect of Absorption and Scattering on Fluorescence of Buried Tumours by Kawthar M. K. Alghourani, Wesam Bachir, George Karraz

“…This work investigates laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy of fluorescence inclusions that are embedded in turbid media. 405 nm laser diode is used for exciting buried protoporphyrin- (PpIX) based inclusions in brain-like optical phantoms. Effects of scattering and absorption of the turbid medium on the recorded fluorescence signal and depth-resolved fluorescence were studied. …”

Neuroimaging: biochemical principles and its application in the cerebrovascular ischemic disease. by Zenaida Milagros Hernández Díaz, Adnolys Reyes-Berazaín, Miguel Ángel Buergo –Zuaznabar, Marianela Arteche-Prior

“…The need for early diagnosis of acute events to reestablish the cerebral blood flow to reduce neurological sequels, has led to the development of advanced imaging techniques, which allows following the histochemical and morphological changes that take place within the brain in vivo, in a non-invasive way, as well as its development, extent of the cerebral damage and damaged cerebral structures. …”
