In this study, we introduce a new approach to process simultaneous Electroencephalography and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (EEG-fMRI) data in epilepsy. The method is based on the decomposition of the EEG signal using independent component analysis (ICA) and the usage of the relevant components' time courses to define the event related model necessary to find the regions exhibiting fMRI signal changes related to interictal activity. This approach achieves a natural data-driven differentiation ...

Knowledge of the speech production mechanism is essential for the development of speech production models and theories. Magnetic resonance imaging delivers high quality images of soft tissues, has multiplanar capacity and allows for the visualization of the entire vocal tract. To our knowledge, there are no complete and systematic magnetic resonance imaging studies of European Portuguese production. In this study, a recently acquired magnetic resonance imaging database including almost all classes ...

We report here retinotopically based magnocellular deficits in a patient with a unilateral parieto-occipital lesion. We applied convergent methodologies to study his dorsal stream processing, using psychophysics as well as structural and functional imaging. Using standard perimetry we found deficits involving the periphery of the left inferior quadrant abutting the horizontal meridian, suggesting damage of dorsal retinotopic representations beyond V1. Retinotopic damage was much more extensive when ...

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected disease with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from small cutaneous nodules to severe mucosal tissue destruction. Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is the main species attributed to CL in the Americas. However, studies of experimental infection are limited in the murine model due to the self-resolutive pattern of the disease. Previously, our group demonstrated that the hamster model reproduces many of the clinical and histopathological ...

Previous results have shown that oral and intranasal administration of particulate Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis antigens (LaAg) partially protects mice against L. amazonensis infection. However, vaccination studies on species of the subgenus Viannia, the main causative agent of cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis in the Americas, have been hampered by the lack of easy-to-handle bio-models that accurately mimic the human disease. Recently, we demonstrated that the golden hamster is an appropriate ...

ABSTRACT The golden hamster ( Mesocricetus auratus ) is a susceptible model to Leishmania ( Viannia ) spp.; however, available studies employ different infection protocols, which account for clinical and pathological presentation differences. Herein, L .

Lesion development was followed for 105 days by size ...
