The relationship of white matter tract orientation to vascular geometry in the human brain by Kurt G. Schilling, Allen Newton, Chantal M. W. Tax, Maxime Chamberland, Samuel W. Remedios, Yurui Gao, Muwei Li, Catie Chang, Francois Rheault, Farshid Sepherband, Adam Anderson, John C. Gore, Bennett Landman

“…Next, we find that vasculature does not necessarily align with the dominant direction of white matter in many regions, but, due to the presence of crossing fiber populations, does align with at least some white matter within each MRI voxel. Even though the spatial patterns of blood vessels run in parallel to several white matter tracts, they do not do so along the entire pathway, nor for all pathways, suggesting that vasculature does not supply/drain blood in a tract-specific manner. …”

Vertebral vascular canal dysplasia in cats: signalment, CT and MRI characteristics, and prevalence by Q. Van Koulil, K. M. Santifort, K. M. Santifort, D. S. Willems, G. Bolen, S. De Decker, M. Bernardini, M. Bernardini, N. Bergknut, I. Van Soens, I. Van Soens

“…Different score distributions were observed across thoracic vertebrae, suggesting a possible regional pattern. Most patients underwent CT (508), while only 33 had MRI.DiscussionCT was considered superior due to its higher spatial resolution and the availability of axial/transverse images for all vertebral bodies, which allowed improved visualisation of vertebral body anatomy and better evaluation of the form, shape, and depth of the dysplastic vascular canals. …”

“…The study found that: (1) From 1995 to 2020, EH in the Loess Plateau increased from 0.42 to 0.58, and the forms of spatial clustering changed. Moreover, there are significant differences in the speed and patterns of EH improvement in different regions, especially after 2010. (2) The importance of precipitation (PRE), SED, ERP, and temperature (TEM) is 33 %, 26 %, 24 %, and 17 %, respectively. …”

Non-invasive DNA monitoring unveils the reproductive strategy of an endangered and elusive top predator, the Chaco Eagle by David Canal, Juan José Negro, José Hernán Sarasola

“…In addition, our data suggest that the replacement of a pair member and/or the breeding dispersal to another territory (up to 30 km away) is not uncommon in the species, presumably due to human-related mortality. These spatial patterns of breeding territory selection and breeding dispersal have never been described for large eagles in the Neotropics and highlight the potential ecological consequences of human pressure on this keystone species. …”
