Brigitte Brisson, DMV, DVSc, DACVS from the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph joined us on OsteoBites to introduce Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound as a treatment modality for osteosarcoma and describe preliminary results in canine patients.High Intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive percutaneous thermal ablation technique that allows deep tissue treatment with precise control over the shape and location of energy deposition. It causes minimal collateral damage and can be used to treat primary and metastatic tumours. In addition to its role in tumour ablation, HIFU has attracted attention for its potential to stimulate the immune system and possibly mount a response against metastasis. In humans, HIFU has been used for ablation of a variety of soft tissue tumours and most recently, it has been used in bone applications, specifically for the treatment of osteoid osteoma (OO) lesions in pediatric patients. Other reported bone applications include bone metastasis and osteosarcoma.Dr. Brigitte Brisson is a professor of soft tissue surgery in the Department of Clinical Studies at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC). She graduated from the Faculté de Médecine Vétérinaire at the University of Montreal in 1996. She performed a small animal rotating internship at the OVC followed by a Surgery residency with concurrent Doctor of Veterinary Science (DVSc) in small animal surgery. She became board certified in small animal surgery (ACVS) in 2001 and has since been on faculty at the Ontario Veterinary College. She is an ACVS Founding Fellow in Minimally Invasive Surgery and a Founding Member of Veterinary Neurosurgical Society.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.29.534678v1?rss=1 Authors: Sirucek, L., Zoelch, N., Schweinhardt, P. Abstract: Purpose: Functional understanding of the periaqueductal grey (PAG), a physiologically and clinically highly relevant brainstem region, can be advanced using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS). However, the PAG's small size and high levels of physiological noise are methodologically challenging. This study aimed to (1) improve 1H-MRS data quality in the PAG using spectral registration for frequency and phase error correction, (2) investigate whether spectral registration is particularly useful in cases of greater head motion and (3) examine two metabolite quantification approaches using literature-based or individual-based water relaxation times. Methods: Spectra were acquired in 33 healthy volunteers (50.1 years, SD=17.19, 18 females) on a 3T Philipps MR system using a point-resolved spectroscopy sequence optimized with very selective saturation pulses (OVERPRESS) and voxel-based flip angle calibration (effective volume of interest size: 8.8x10.2x12.2 mm3). Results: Spectral registration significantly improved signal-to-noise ratios (SNR; p=0.048, median value [interquartile range]: 18.0 [17.00-20.00]) and spectral linewidth (N-acetylaspartate peak: p less than 0.001, 4.3 Hz [3.96-4.85]), as well as metabolite fit (p's less than 0.046) compared to post-processing with minimal frequency alignment using interleaved unsuppressed water peaks. Correlational analyses revealed smaller improvements in SNR in cases of greater head motion (p=0.002) recorded with a markerless motion tracking system. Metabolite concentrations were higher when quantified using individual-based compared to literature-based water relaxation times (p's less than 0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that high-quality 1H-MRS can be acquired in the PAG using spectral registration. This offers new opportunities for future 1H-MRS studies in the PAG and possibly also other clinically relevant brain regions with similar methodological challenges.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.23.529659v1?rss=1 Authors: Shahid, S. S., Gregory, G., Brady, A., Yu-Chien, W. Abstract: Methadone-based treatment for pregnant women with opioid use disorder is quite prevalent in the clinical environment. A number of clinical and animal model-based studies have reported cognitive deficits in infants prenatally exposed to methadone-based opioid treatments. However, the long-term impact of prenatal opioid exposure (POE) on pathophysiological mechanisms that govern neurodevelopmental impairment is not well understood. Using a translationally relevant mouse model of prenatal methadone exposure (PME), the aim of this study is to investigate the role of cerebral biochemistry and its possible association with regional microstructural organization in PME offspring. To understand these effects, 8-week-old male offspring with PME (n=7) and prenatal saline exposure (PSE) (n=7) were scanned in vivo on 9.4 Tesla small animal scanner. Single voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was performed in the right dorsal striatum (RDS) region using a short echo time (TE) Stimulated Echo Acquisition Method (STEAM) sequence. Neurometabolite spectra from the RDS was first corrected for tissue T1 relaxation and then absolute quantification was performed using the unsuppressed water spectra. High-resolution in vivo diffusion MRI (dMRI) for region of interest (ROI) based microstructural quantification was also performed using a multi-shell dMRI sequence. Cerebral microstructure was characterized using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and Bingham-neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (Bingham-NODDI). MRS results in the RDS showed significant decrease in N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), taurine (tau), glutathione (GSH), total creatine (tCr) and glutamate (Glu) concentration levels in PME, compared to PSE group. In the same RDS region, mean orientation dispersion index (ODI) and intracellular volume fraction (VFIC) demonstrated positive associations with tCr in PME group. ODI also exhibited significant positive association with Glu levels in PME offspring. Significant reduction in major neurotransmitter metabolites and energy metabolism along with strong association between the neurometabolites and perturbed regional microstructural complexity suggest a possible impaired neuroadaptation trajectory in PME offspring which could be persistent even into late adolescence and early adulthood.

The discovery of resting state fMRI ushered in an entirely new subfield of fMRI and a new era in functional imaging that permeates much of what we do today. Today's guest, Professor Bharat Biswal is credited with the discovery of this signal. In this conversation Professor Biswal recounts the events leading up to and including his discovery of the resting state signal. He and Peter also talk about all things resting state fMRI, including white matter correlations and potential clinical applications. He even turns the tables on Peter, and asks a few questions of his own. This is worth a listen as he weighs in on the challenges, limits, and opportunities of resting state fMRI today. Today's Guest: Bharat Biswal, Ph.D. is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He is also affiliated with the Department of Radiology in New Jersey Medical School. He received his B.S. in Engineering from Uktal University in 1989, his M.S. from Michigan Technical University in 1991, and his Ph.D. from the Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Biophysics in 1996 under the mentorship of Jim Hyde. While in graduate school, Dr Biswal was the first to report the observation of functional correlation in the resting state signal - in this case between the left and right motor cortex. This first resting state fMRI paper was published in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine in 1995 and is titled: Functional Connectivity in the motor cortex of resting human brain using echo-planar MRI.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.13.512064v1?rss=1 Authors: Shamaei, A., Starcukova, J., Starcuk, Z. Abstract: Purpose: While the recommended analysis method for magnetic resonance spectroscopy data is linear combination model (LCM) fitting, the supervised deep learning (DL) approach for quantification of MR spectroscopy (MRS) data recently showed encouraging results; however, supervised learning requires ground truth fitted spectra, which is not practical. This work investigates the feasibility and efficiency of the LCM-based self-supervised DL method for the analysis of MRS data. Method: We present a novel DL-based method for the quantification of relative metabolite concentrations, using quantum-mechanics simulated metabolite responses and neural networks. We trained, validated, and evaluated the proposed networks with simulated and publicly accessible in-vivo human brain MRS data and compared the performance with traditional methods. A novel adaptive macromolecule fitting algorithm is included. We investigated the performance of the proposed methods in a Monte Carlo (MC) study. Result: The validation using low-SNR simulated data demonstrated that the proposed methods could perform quantification comparably to other methods. The applicability of the proposed method for the quantification of in-vivo MRS data was demonstrated. Our proposed networks have the potential to reduce computation time significantly. Conclusion: The proposed model-constrained deep neural networks trained in a self-supervised manner with complex data can offer fast and efficient quantification of MRS data.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.10.511658v1?rss=1 Authors: Yoo, J. H., Park, Y. W., Kim, D., Park, H., Jeong, B. Abstract: Several lines of evidence indicate verbal abuse (VA) critically impacts the developing brain; however, whether VA results in changes in brain neurochemistry has not been established in humans. Here, we hypothesized that exposure to recurrent parental VA elicits heightened glutamate (Glu) responses during the presentation of swear words, which can be measured with functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS). During an emotional Stroop task consisting of blocks of color and swear words, metabolite concentration changes were measured in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and the left amygdalohippocampal region (AMHC) of healthy adults (14 F/27 M, 23{+/-}4 years old) using fMRS. The dynamic changes in Glu and their associations with the emotional state of the participants were finally evaluated based on 36 datasets from the vmPFC and 30 from the AMHC. A repeated-measures analysis of covariance revealed a modest effect of parental VA severity on Glu changes in the vmPFC. Furthermore, the total score on the Verbal Abuse Questionnaire by parents (pVAQ) was associated with the Glu response to swear words ({Delta}GluSw e). The interaction term of {Delta}GluSw e and baseline N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) level in the vmPFC could be used to predict state-trait anxiety level and depressive mood. We could not find any significant associations between {Delta}GluSw e in the AMHC and either pVAQ or emotional states. We conclude that parental VA exposure in individuals is associated with a greater Glu response towards VA-related stimuli in the vmPFC and that the accompanying low NAA level may be associated with anxiety level or depressive mood.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.08.31.506120v1?rss=1 Authors: Ma, D. J., Yang, Y., Harguindeguy, N., Tian, Y., Guo, J. Abstract: A novel convolutional neural network based spectral registration (CNN-SR) approach is introduced to achieve efficient and accurate simultaneous frequency-and-phase correction (FPC) of single-voxel MEGA-PRESS magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data. For this approach, one neural network was trained and validated using a published simulated and in vivo MEGA-PRESS MRS dataset with a wide-range of artificial frequency (0-20 Hz) and phase (0-90{degrees}) offsets applied. The proposed CNN-SR approach was subsequently tested and compared to the sequential FPC deep learning approaches and demonstrated more effective and accurate performance. Furthermore, a large random Gaussian signal-to-noise ratio (SNR 20 and SNR 2.5) and line broadening (0-20 ms) was introduced to the original simulated dataset to investigate our model performance compared to the other deep learning models. The testing showed that CNN-SR was a more accurate quantification tool and resulted in a lower SNR when compared with the other deep learning methods, due to having smaller mean absolute errors in both frequency and phase offset predictions. For Off spectra, the CNN-SR model was capable of correcting frequency offsets with 0.014 {+/-} 0.010 Hz and phase offsets with 0.104 {+/-} 0.076{degrees} absolute errors on average for unseen simulated data with SNR 20 and correcting frequency offsets with 0.678 {+/-} 0.883 Hz and phase offsets with 2.367 {+/-} 2.616{degrees} absolute errors on average at very low SNR (2.5) and line broadening (0-20 ms) introduced. In addition, we tested the simulated dataset with additional SNR and line broadening on a more refined model (CNN-SR+) where the pre-trained CNN-SR was further optimized by minimizing the difference between individual spectra and a common template with unsupervised learning. The performance on Off spectra was improved to 0.058 {+/-} 0.050 Hz for correcting frequency offsets and to 0.416 {+/-} 0.317{degrees} for correcting phase offsets. We further evaluated the ability of our model to process the published Big GABA in vivo dataset and CNN-SR+ achieved the best performance. Moreover, additional frequency and phase offsets (i.e., small, moderate, large) were applied to the in vivo dataset, and CNN-SR+ also demonstrated better performance for FPC when compared to the other deep learning models. These results indicate the utility of using deep learning for spectral registration and demonstrate the application of unsupervised learning in further improving the model to achieve state-of-the-art performance.

Over the thirty-nine episodes of this podcast, Peter Bandettini, PhD (twitter: @fmri_today), has guided interesting conversations with brain scientists of all types about the latest developments, controversies, findings, and challenges in the field of brain mapping. Of course, Dr. Bandettini is an impressive and fascinating scientist in his own right, so we on the Neurosalience production team thought it was time to turn things around and shine the spotlight on Peter. About our "guest": Dr. Bandettini is Chief of the Section on Functional Imaging Methods at the National Institute of Mental Health, as well as Director of the Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Core Facility and Director of the Center for Multimodal Neuroimaging. Peter received a bachelor's degree in Physics from Marquette University and his Ph.D. from the Medical College of Wisconsin, followed by postdoctoral training at the Massachusetts General Hospital Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Center and Harvard Medical School, before returning to the Medical College of Wisconsin as assistant professor. In 1999, Dr. Bandettini moved to the National Institute of Mental Health, where he has been ever since. As of this recording, his research has been cited almost 44,000 times, with 5 of his papers having over 2000 citations, 10 papers with over 1000 citations, and 20 with over 500 citations. Dr. Bandettini has also written the book on functional MRI published by MIT Press, entitled, appropriately, “fMRI”. Peter has been highly involved in the Organization for Human Brain Mapping since essentially the beginning, including serving as President, Program Chair, and scientific advisory board member. Peter is also a Fellow of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, where he was awarded the ISMRM Gold Medal in 2020, and he was previously the editor-in-chief of the journal NeuroImage, along with serving as associate editor for that journal and many others. Through all of this, Dr. Bandettini has advised numerous grad students and postdocs, some of whom you'll hear about in today's episode. We'll hear about Peter's approach to mentorship, to science in general, and to science communication, and to much, much more. About our guest host: Kevin Sitek, PhD, is a research scientist at the University of Pittsburgh. Kevin joined the OHBM Communications Committee in 2020 and has worked with the Neurosalience production team since the podcast started in early 2021. You can find Kevin on twitter at @krsitek.

En stor del af vores tid bruges i dag foran en computer eller en telefon, og ifølge forretningsmanden Elon Musk gør det os til en form for cyborgs. Desværre er vi bare nogle pokkers ineffektive cyborgs - for kommunikationen mellem menneske og computer går stadig gennem vores fingre. Det kan der dog rådes bod på. I 2016 startede Elon Musk virksomheden Neuralink, der arbejder på at fremstille en chip, der kan sættes ind i vores hjerner, og gøre os i stand til at kommunikere med den digitale verden. I dag er projektet så langt, at virksomheden blandt andet er lykkedes med at få en abe til at spille Pong på en computer ved hjælp af tankens kraft. Men hvor langt er forskningen egentlig med at kunne afkode hjernens signaler og læse vores tanker? Og bør man, som Asbjørn i denne episode, være bekymret for konsekvenserne af at få en hjernechip? Det undersøger Brainstorm i denne episode. NB: Brainstorm har kontaktet Neuralink i et forsøg på at få svar på forskernes kommentarer, men har ikke hørt noget endnu. Kommer det, vil vi opdatere jer i en kommende episode. Brainstorm er støttet af Lundbeckfonden.

Dr. Susan Wagner was well on her way to becoming a neurologist when she found out she had fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. This led her to discover energy work and integrative medicine, which she now incorporates into her neurology work. In this episode, Dr. Wagner shares her perspective on the state of integrative medicine today. She also explains how our energy affects our pets and offers advice to help you create a safe space for your animals to thrive. Episode Recap:How did you get interested in integrative medicine?

Our bodies are scanned, probed, imaged, sampled, and transformed into data by clinicians and technologists. In Giving Bodies Back to Data: Image Makers, Bricolage, and Reinvention in Magnetic Resonance Technology (MIT Press, 2021), Silvia Casini reveals the affective relations and materiality that turn data into image–and in so doing, gives bodies back to data. Opening the black box of MRI technology, Casini examines the bodily, situated aspects of visualization practices around the development of this technology. Reframing existing narratives of biomedical innovation, she emphasizes the important but often overlooked roles played by aesthetics, affectivity, and craft practice in medical visualization. Combining history, theory, laboratory ethnography, archival research, and collaborative art-science, Casini retrieves the multiple presences and agencies of bodies in data visualization, mapping the traces of scientists' body work and embodied imagination. She presents an in-depth ethnographic study of MRI development at the University of Aberdeen's biomedical physics laboratory, from the construction of the first whole-body scanner for clinical purposes through the evolution of the FFC-MRI. Going beyond her original focus on MRI, she analyzes a selection of neuroscience- or biomedicine-inspired interventions by artists in media ranging from sculpture to virtual reality. Finally, she presents a methodology for designing and carrying out small-scale art-science projects, describing a collaboration that she herself arranged, highlighting the relational and aesthetic-laden character of data that are the product of craftsmanship and affective labor at the laboratory bench. Galina Limorenko is a doctoral candidate in Neuroscience with a focus on biochemistry and molecular biology of neurodegenerative diseases at EPFL in Switzerland.
