The site where the tendon bends is frequently interested by the presence of a small depression, the trochlear fovea, and/or the trochlear spine. Exact topography, size and frequency of these items are still undetermined. For this purpose, we studied 120 orbits of individuals that underwent computed tomography for pathologies not involving the anterior orbit. We detected the presence of the trochlear spine in 10% of orbits and we determined its location and size. We also observed the presence of two tubercles (TT<sub>1</sub> and TT<sub>2</sub>), with distinct positions relative to the tendon. TT<sub>1</sub> was present in 5% of orbits and was located on the same spot of the spine differing from the latter only for its morphology. TT<sub>2</sub> lied in a more advanced position and it was rarer (1,67% of orbits). The spine and the first type of tubercle were located above and behind the tendon reflection; the second tubercle lied below and ahead of the tendon reflection. A distinct trochlear fovea was detected in 25.83% of orbits and lied 3.42 ± 0.97 mm behind the orbital rim. Fovea diameters were 4.16 ± 1.08 mm × 3.84 ± 0.97 mm. In conclusion we demonstrate that in the anterior orbit a bony process is present in at least 15% or orbits.

Recent advances in histological tissue processing now allow scaling up the clearing process considerably towards much larger samples. Yet so far, these methods can have considerable drawbacks in their feasibility to be implemented routinely, especially in smaller laboratories. Here, we present an updated version of our MASH protocol, which allows optical tissue clearing of very large human brain tissue samples and labelling of angio- and cytoarchitecture therein. This pipeline is cost-efficient and easy to implement, so that even smaller labs can apply it at scale. At the same time, the use of rapid prototyping using 3D printing to create custom clearing equipment is versatile enough to be adjusted to other optical tissue clearing methods than the one used in this study (e.g., aqueous methods such as CUBIC or other solvent-based methods of the DISCO family), sample sizes or tissue types.

Lentiviral vectors for retrograde gene transfer transduce neurons through the entry from synaptic terminals and enable tracing and manipulation of neuronal populations of interests based on the synaptic connections.

Consequently, understanding the input and the output connectivity of the dorsal striatum is fundamental to revealing how circuits within the basal ganglia contribute to physiological and behavioral functions, and its impairments are related to neurological disorders. This paper outlines the procedures for injecting a NeuRet vector carrying a green fluorescent protein gene into the sub-regions of dorsal striatum in rats, followed by immunohistochemistry to detect the transgene expression in the brain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"100 :","pages":"413 - 419"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144537798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional hypothesis-driven approaches often result in limited or subjective identification of brain regions. In this study, we propose an integrative method combining unbiased whole-brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening and detailed histological analysis. Our methodology uses structural MRI to systematically detect volumetric changes across the entire brain, enabling the identification of target regions without relying on predefined hypotheses. Once brain regions are identified, super-resolution microscopy (SRM) is employed to determine microstructural alterations at the cellular level, focusing on neurons and glial cells within those regions. To exemplify the utility of this method, we applied it to a mouse model treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), an intervention which is known to increase hippocampal volume. Our demonstration highlights the potential of this approach to systematically search for brain regions of interest, providing valuable insights and guiding future studies toward a more focused exploration of key aspects of psychiatric disorder research, both in terms of pathophysiology and therapeutic action.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"100 :","pages":"465 - 479"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144526106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
