Previous research suggests that our past experience of rhythmic structure in music results in a tendency for Western listeners to subjectively accent equitonal isochronous sequences. We have shown in an …more
Accurate imaging of ischemic penumbra is crucial for improving the management of acute stroke patients. T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with a T2*oxygen challenge (T2*OC) is being developed to …more
Background Recent studies of profoundly deaf patients with cochlear implants have demonstrated that these patients are able to process sound in the auditory cortex in a similar way to normal …more
Previous fMRI studies have demonstrated preferential involvement of the perirhinal cortex and hippocampus in tasks of object and spatial memory, respectively. Here we investigated whether similar activity would also be …more
BACKGROUND: Bipolar disorder is associated with both white matter abnormalities and hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction. In a post-hoc analysis of diffusion tensor data, the relationship between cortisol levels and white matter …more
Background and Purpose – Some infarcts have persistently hyperintense areas on diffusion-weighted MRI ( DWI) even at 1 month after stroke, whereas others have become isointense to normal brain. We …more
Eating is not only triggered by hunger but also by the sight of foods. Viewing appetizing foods alone can induce food craving and eating, although there is considerable variation in …more
Objective: To explore associations between the 5-factor model (FFM; neuroticism, extraversion, openness/intellect, agreeableness, and conscientiousness), personality traits, and measures of whole-brain integrity in a large sample of older people, and …more
Improved knowledge and understanding of key aspects of cancer has led to the development of novel cancer therapeutics acting through complex pathways and mode of actions. The success of these …more
PURPOSE: 18-fluorine fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has an established role for the characterization of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN). Visual assessment of nodule morphology, together with maximum standardized …more
Signaling through the cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase [protein kinase A (PKA)] is an important and widely studied area of signal transduction research. This signaling pathway is commonly investigated through …more
