(2014) Caption: Duke University neurosurgeon Nandan Lad, M.D., Ph.D., a member of the International Neuromodulation Society, implants neurostimulators to manage chronic pain symptoms. A pacemaker-like pulse generator, shown here, sends mild electrical current along leads placed beneath the skin to stimulate nerves at the spinal cord. This stimulation can reduce the perception of pain.

Caption: A demonstration patient controller is shown in a clinical examination room. The controller is held near the implantable pulse generator to turn it on or off or switch between stimulation programs that have been preset for the patient. (The pacemaker-like pulse generator is often implanted on the upper buttock, or the chest wall or abdomen, depending on the neurostimulation treatment, such as spinal cord stimulation, sacral neuromodulation for some genitourinary conditions, or deep brain stimulation to manage tremor from movement disorder.)

Caption: Diffusion Spectrum MRI (DSI) of the human brain obtained with the MGH-UCLA Human “Connectom” Scanner acquired in 8 min. Where images of this quality were previously obtained in scans of 1 hr or longer, improved scanner performance coupled with innovations in RF coil design, MRI scanning physics, and mathematics of diffusion MRI reconstruction have reduced the total scan time by 6-fold or more (here from 48 min to 8 min). Most of these innovations will be readily transferable to most or all general-purpose MRI systems, and make possible practical high-resolution diffusion MRI on a routine basis (courtesy Laurence Wald, Van Wedeen). The fiber tracks are color-coded by direction: red=left-right, green=anterior-posterior, blue=through brain stem.

The data suggest that changes in white matter connections may be among the earliest brain changes in Alzheimer's disease, which may prove important for early detection by noninvasive imaging. (Early stage Alzheimer's disease has been subject to preliminary clinical trials of deep brain stimulation as a potential means to slow the progression of memory loss). Credit: Brian T.
