Abstract

Focused ultrasound (FUS) is a technology capable of delivering therapeutic levels of energy through the intact skull to a tightly localized brain region. Combining the FUS pressure wave with intravenously injected microbubbles creates forces on blood vessel walls that open the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This noninvasive and localized opening of the BBB allows for targeted delivery of pharmacological agents into the brain for use in therapeutic development. It is possible to use FUS power levels such that the BBB is opened without damaging local tissues. However, open questions remain related to the effects that FUS-induced BBB opening has on brain function including local physiology and vascular hemodynamics. We evaluated the effects that FUS-induced BBB opening has on resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) metrics. Data from rs-fMRI was acquired in rats that underwent sham FUS BBB vs. FUS BBB opening targeted to the right primary somatosensory cortex hindlimb region (S1HL). FUS BBB opening reduced the functional connectivity between the right S1HL and other sensorimotor regions, including statistically significant reduction of connectivity to the homologous region in the left hemisphere (left S1HL). The ...Continue Reading

Neural circuits are groups of interconnected neurons which carry out specific functions when activated. Imaging these neural circuits allows researches to further elucidate their mechanisms and functions. Follow this feed to stay up to date on brain imaging of neural circuits.

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
