Models of Historical Memory and past Representation of Vilnius University in the 19th-20th Centuries by Alfredas Bumblauskas

“…Hence it is worthwhile to adjust the historiographic images that fail to deliberate the significance of these factors to the historical memories, fail to embrace the conflicts of the memories, and portray the past of Vilnius University merely from a perspective of a single nationalistic historical consciousness.  …”

The visuomotor synchronization immersive virtual reality of a depression avatar in a stigma context experience mobilizes the fronto-parietal cortex and anterior insula by Kelssy Hitomi dos Santos Kawata, Kelssy Hitomi dos Santos Kawata, Wey Guan Lem, Koki Ono, Hiroshi Oyama

“…Although neuroimaging studies have explored the neural correlates of some SoE subcomponents of visuomotor synchronization, the neural correlates of individual differences in SoE and how humans acquire virtual body representations through SoE subcomponents remain to be investigated.MethodsHere, we used the right hand of a virtual patient with depression in immersive virtual reality (IVR) to induce SoE in participants and measured whole brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Participants were instructed to listen to the audio recording of the IVR experience and visualize movements during the fMRI scan. fMRI data were acquired before and immediately after the visuomotor synchronization IVR experience (target condition) or an asynchronized video experience (control condition), followed by embodiment measures related to the two types of experiences.ResultsAll five subcomponents of SoE (sense of ownership, sense of agency, sense of localization, appearance, and response to stimuli) were significantly increased during the visuomotor synchronization IVR experience compared with the asynchronized video experience. …”

Clinical characteristics of anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody among aquaporin-4 negative neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders in Egyptian patients by Sara I. Taha, Salwa I. Bakr, Nermeen T. Fouad, Dina Zamzam, Yasmine A. Mohamed

“…MOGAD shares features with NMOSD, like optic neuritis and myelitis, but differs in pathophysiology, clinical presentation, imaging findings, and biomarkers. The present study investigated the prevalence of anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (anti-MOG) antibodies in anti-AQP4 seronegative Egyptian patients initially diagnosed with NMOSD and the link between their presence and clinical characteristics and disease-induced disability to gain insights into MOGAD. …”

Optimized radiofrequency shimming using low-heating B1+-mapping in the presence of deep brain stimulation implants: Proof of concept. by Maryam Arianpouya, Benson Yang, Fred Tam, Clare E McElcheran, Simon J Graham

“…A two-step optimization algorithm is proposed and examined for a cylindrical phantom with an implanted wire to enable 1) robust B1+ mapping with low localized heating; and 2) robust RF shimming PTX with low localized heating and good B1+ homogeneity over a large imaging volume. Simulation and experimental outcomes were compared with those obtained using an existing simulation-driven workflow for obtaining safe mode RF shim settings, and for quadrature RF transmission using a circularly polarized (CP) birdcage head coil. …”
