The overall goal of this project is to determine if task induced hemodynamic changes detected by functional near infrared (fNIR) spectroscopy from the anterior prefrontal cortex (PFC) has discriminant validity across ALS (n = 17) patients and matching healthy (n = 17) controls. The experimental protocol was composed of the King-Devick Test, the Number Interference Test and a Continuous Performance Test targeting a range of cognitive domains including sustained attention and executive function. Results indicate that fNIR measures provided significant differences between ALS and healthy controls in all three tasks providing an additional metric for the assessment of cognitive decline. Although this is a pilot study, given the safe, wearable and realworld validity of fNIR, these results may set the foundation for the use of fNIR as a clinical tool in monitoring progression of neurocognitive decline in a simple, less invasive and objective manner than allowed by current imaging technology.","PeriodicalId":89986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuroscience and neuroengineering","volume":"3 1","pages":"41-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64643374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we report that OCT1, OCT2 and OCT3 immunofluorescence is significantly reduced over time in implanted GL261 glioma cells, during tumor development in the brain. By day 21 after glioma implantation, OCT1, OCT2 and OCT3 immunofluorescence was reduced more than 10-fold in the cytoplasm of glioma cells, while OCT3 immunofluorescence became concentrated in the nucleus. The well-known fluorescent substrate for OCT transporters, 4-(4-(dimethylamino)-styryl)-N-methylpyridinium iodide (ASP<sup>+</sup>), previously shown to accumulate in glioma-cell cytoplasm in <i>in vivo</i> slices, began to accumulate in the nucleus of these cells, but not in cytoplasm, after 21 days post-implantation. Considering this mislocalization phenomenon, and other literature on similar nuclear mislocalization of different transporters, receptors and channels in glioma cells, we suggest that it is one of the \"omens\" preceding the motility and aggressivity changes in glioma behavior.</p>","PeriodicalId":89986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuroscience and neuroengineering","volume":"3 1","pages":"3-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4143131/pdf/nihms610395.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32620979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it was recently demonstrated that there are significant stimulation-specific differences between adjacent voxels at the group level. With this approach, the activity of adjacent voxels in the same condition is compared, and the direction of the highest increase of activity in the neighbourhood of each voxel is established as a gradient vector per voxel. Using this vector approach, we compared fMRI, EEG and MEG spatial differential activity during different tasks to see what amount of fMRI differential activity corresponds to the electromagnetic differential activity. Distributed source reconstruction was used to obtain 3-dimensional models of electric and magnetic activity in EEG and MEG prior to vector analysis. Using independent datasets, we illustrated that the mean overlap of the fMRI differential activity with EEG and MEG is 79%. In addition, about 93% of divergence (spatial sources) in fMRI corresponded to the EEG and MEG divergences. These results correspond to the spatial sum of the peak activities in EEG and MEG and, further, suggest a link between the spatial and temporal properties of brain activity. We propose a novel model of activity flows in the brain to explain this link.","PeriodicalId":89986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuroscience and neuroengineering","volume":"2 1","pages":"550-561"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64643189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
