Midbrain Infarction: ( (Left) Flair axial MRI; (Right) Diffusion-weighted MRI. Note the bright signal on the diffusion-weighted image in the ventral midbrain and cerebral peduncle. Infarction in the ...

The heavy cannabis users had significantly higher neuromelanin-MRI signals — which measure function of dopamine, the happy hormone — in specific brain regions associated with psychosis severity.

The study found that individuals with cannabis use disorder had significantly higher neuromelanin-MRI signal in specific parts of the midbrain, particularly in regions previously linked to the ...

In ALC, the midbrain region was also invoked by negative emotional Stroop words thereby showing significant overlap of this midbrain activation for alcohol-related and negative emotional processing.

Transtentorial Herniation: T1-weighted with gadolinium axial MRIs. Note the midline shift and uncal herniation, as the uncus (medial temporal lobe) is displaced against the midbrain. In addition, note ...

The clusters (a) and (b) are observed bilaterally in the cerebral white matter near the orbitofrontal gyrus, whereas (c) lies in the midbrain region.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) have identified how a midbrain region plays a vital role in human attention. Their findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal ...

Patients with axial spondyloarthritis demonstrate significant differences in peripheral and extra-musculoskeletal manifestations based on geographic region, according to data published in ...

Adnan Hirad et al. examined the midbrain white matter of players before and after a college football season using an MRI-based imaging technique.

A previously overlooked and under-researched region of the midbrain may be key to helping us pay attention.
