CaNet: Context Aware Network for Brain Glioma Segmentation

CaNet: Context Aware Network for Brain Glioma Segmentation

Context-Aware Network Study Report for Glioma Segmentation Glioma is a common type of adult brain tumor that severely harms health and has a high mortality rate. To provide sufficient evidence for early diagnosis, surgical planning, and postoperative observation, multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been widely applied in this field. The...

Near-Infrared Window II Fluorescence Image-Guided Surgery of High-Grade Gliomas Prolongs the Progression-Free Survival of Patients

Near-Infrared Window II Fluorescence Image-Guided Surgery of High-Grade Gliomas Prolongs the Progression-Free Survival of Patients

Near-Infrared Window II Fluorescence Imaging-Guided Surgery Prolongs Progression-Free Survival for High-Grade Glioma Patients Research Background High-grade glioma (HGG) is the most common malignant primary tumor in the central nervous system, with glioblastoma (GBM) having the worst prognosis. To improve the treatment outcomes for GBM patients, in...

The Necessity of Human Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex in Prosocial Motivation

The Necessity of the Human Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex for Prosocial Motivation Research Background and Motivation The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) plays a crucial role in decision-making processes. Functional neuroimaging studies indicate that the vmPFC is key in handling rewards and efforts and is also associated with prosocial behav...

Multisensory Flicker Modulates Widespread Brain Networks and Reduces Interictal Epileptiform Discharges

Research Report on Multi-sensory Flicker Regulating Extensive Brain Networks and Reducing Interictal Epileptiform Discharges Background Introduction In treating neurological disorders, modulating brain oscillations has great potential. Non-invasive interventions, suitable for everyday use at home, have become the focus of the scientific community, ...

A prognostic neural epigenetic signature in high-grade glioma

Study of Neuroepithelial Genetic Markers and Prognosis in High-Grade Gliomas Background and Research Motivation High-grade gliomas are highly malignant brain tumors with generally poor patient prognosis. Previous preclinical model studies have suggested that interactions between neural and tumor cells drive tumor growth, but clinical validation of ...

Intracranial EEG signals disentangle multi-areal neural dynamics of vicarious pain perception

Intracranial EEG signals disentangle multi-areal neural dynamics of vicarious pain perception

Research Background and Objectives Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others and is a crucial foundation for human social interaction and prosocial behavior. Current neuroimaging studies have identified specific brain regions that play key roles in empathetic pain, including the anterior insula (AI), anterior cingulate c...

A Spatial Perturbation Framework to Validate Implantation of the Epileptogenic Zone

Evaluation of Epilepsy Seizure Onset Zone (SOZ) Implantation Quality through Spatial Perturbation Framework in Pre-Surgical Planning Background The success of epilepsy surgery relies heavily on the accuracy of pre-surgical planning, which typically involves identifying the epileptic zone (EZ) using clinical symptomatology, electroencephalography (E...

Differential Cortical Layer Engagement During Seizure Initiation and Spread in Humans

Differential Cortical Layer Engagement During Seizure Initiation and Spread in Humans

Study on the Differences in Cortical Layers During Epileptic Seizure Onset and Spread Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that severely impacts patients’ quality of life, affecting approximately 1% of the global population. Among all epilepsy patients, nearly one-third are resistant to pharmaceutical treatments, known as drug-resistant epilepsy. Fo...

Consensus on Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery for Young Children

Consensus Study Report on Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Background Introduction The incidence of epilepsy varies significantly across different age groups. According to the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), the highest incidence rates of epilepsy are found among those under 5 years old and over 65 years old (>60 per 100,000 people), with c...
