60 Minutes’ Segment Sheds Light on Novi Neurologist’s Work

|

Dearborn, MI – A recent episode of CBS’ 60 Minutes explained how advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques can reveal traumatic brain injury among veterans. Those same techniques are available at the Center for Neurological Studies in Dearborn. “Veterans, people who’ve been in car accidents, people who’ve fallen and hit their heads, a number ofRead More

Quantitative Analysis of MRI Signal Abnormalities of Brain White Matter With High Reproducibility and Accuracy

|

Purpose: To assess the reproducibility and accuracy compared to radiologists of three automated segmentation pipelines for quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement of brain white matter signal abnormalities (WMSA). Materials and Methods: WMSA segmentation was performed on pairs of whole brain scans from 20 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and 10 older subjects who were positioned and imaged twice within 30Read More

Frequency-dependent responses exhibited by multiple regions in human auditory cortex

|

Recordings in experimental animals have detailed the tonotopic organization of auditory cortex, including the presence of multiple tonotopic maps. In contrast, relatively little is known about tonotopy within human auditory cortex, for which even the number and location of tonotopic maps remains unclear. The present study begins to develop a more complete picture of cortical tonotopic organization inRead More

Object-related activity revealed by functional magnetic resonance imaging in human occipital cortex

|

The stages of integration leading from localfeature analysis to object recognition were explored in human visual cortex by using the technique of functional magnetic resonance imaging. Here we report evidence for object-related activation. Such activation was located at the lateral-posterior aspect of the occipital lobe, just abutting the posterior aspect of the motion-sensitive area MT/V5, in a region termed the lateralRead More

Differentiation of speech and nonspeech processing within primary auditory cortex

|

Primary auditory cortex PAC, located in Heschl’s gyrus HG, is the earliest cortical level at which sounds are processed. Standard theories of speech perception assume that signal components are given a representation in PAC which are then matched to speech templates in auditory association cortex. An alternative holds that speech activates a specialized system in cortex that doesRead More

Detection of hemorrhagic and axonal pathology in mild traumatic brain injury using advanced MRI: Implications for neurorehabilitation

|

Introduction: There is a need to more accurately diagnose milder traumatic brain injuries with increasing awareness of the high prevalence in both military and civilian populations. Magnetic resonance imaging methods may be capable of detecting a number of the pathoanatomical and pathophysiological consequences of focal and diffuse traumatic brain injury. Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) detects heme iron and revealsRead More

CNS Involved in Breakthrough Parkinson’s Disease Research

|

Thursday, November 8, 2012 Novi, MI – What started with a small, clinical study of 21 patients suffering Parkinson’s disease has become a major research proposal involving a collaboration between the U.S. and China and the Novi-based Center for Neurological Studies (CNS). “We’re excited to have CNS a part of this study,” said E. Mark Haacke, PhD,Read More

CNS to Present at Michigan Brain Injury Conference

|

Tuesday, September 25, 2012 Novi, MI (PRWEB) September 24, 2012 – The latest methods to diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) will be discussed when staff from the Center for Neurological Studies (CNS) present at the Brain Injury Association of Michigan (BIAMI) annual conference on September 27 in Lansing, MI. “This is an opportunity to showcase theRead More
