Cerebrovascular autoregulation in hypoxia: quantitative insights from arterial spin labeling
Hypoxia, defined as an insufficient oxygen supply relative to metabolic demand, induces a cascade of cerebrovascular and metabolic responses aimed at preserving cerebral homeostasis. These responses vary depending on the temporal profile of exposure, with acute (e.g., hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy, acute high-altitude exposure) versus chronic (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea, long-term altitude residence) conditions, and may range […]
Hypoxia’s Impact on Hippocampal Functional Connectivity: Insights from Resting-State fMRI Studies
The hippocampus is one of the brain’s most vulnerable structures to hypoxia, playing a crucial role in memory and spatial navigation. This sensitivity makes it a key region for understanding the effects of hypoxia on brain connectivity. This review examines the effects of both acute and chronic hypoxia on resting-state networks (RSNs) that contribute to […]
Does freediving lead to hippocampal adaptability to hypoxia and maintenance of episodic memory?
Background: Accidental hypoxia has detrimental effects on the brain, particularly on the hippocampal subfields (HS), which are highly sensitive to oxygen deprivation and play a crucial role in episodic memory. This raises the question: could freediving training induce anatomical changes in the HS and lead to significant memory deficits? This study aimed to investigate the impact […]
Dynamics of spatio-temporal binding in rats
Time and space are commonly approached as two distinct dimensions, and rarely combined together in a single task, preventing a comparison of their interaction…
Three-Dimensional Probabilistic Maps of Mesial Temporal Lobe Structures in Children and Adolescents’ Brains
The hippocampus and the adjacent perirhinal, entorhinal, temporopolar, and parahippocampal cortices are interconnected in a hierarchical MTL system crucial for memory processes…
Genetic influence on the sulcal pits: on the origin of the first cortical folds
The influence of genes on cortical structures has been assessed through various phenotypes…
Neuropsychological consequences of childhood medulloblastoma and possible interventions: a review
Children who have been treated for a medulloblastoma often suffer long-term cognitive impairments that often negatively affect their academic performance and quality of life…
Extension to one week of verbal memory consolidation assessment.
Although impairments of long-term recall affect everyday life, they may be missed by standard delayed recall tests, which typically assess the ability to retain new information within a few minutes, without encompassing the consolidation process…
Relationships between regional radiation doses and cognitive decline in children treated with cranio-spinal irradiation for posterior fossa tumors
Although impairments of long-term recall affect everyday life, they may be missed by standard delayed recall tests, which typically assess the ability to retain new information within a few minutes, without encompassing the consolidation process…
Brain functional connectivity changes 7 years after Neonatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke (NAIS): A resting state fMRI study
Although impairments of long-term recall affect everyday life, they may be missed by standard delayed recall tests, which typically assess the ability to retain new information within a few minutes, without encompassing the consolidation process…
