T1-weighted 3D FLASH (TR/TE = 20/7.8 ms, 25° flip angle) and T2-weighted 3D fast SE MRI data sets (TR/TEeff = 3000/100 ms) were acquired at different developmental stages with an isotropic resolution of 100 μm. Both T1- and T2-weighted 3D MRI allowed for the identification of cerebral structures such as the antennal nerve, antennal and optical lobe, and central brain. Pronounced developmental alterations of the morphology were observed during metamorphosis. The results demonstrate the feasibility of 3D MRI at nanoliter resolution to identify major brain systems of M. sexta and respective changes during pupal development from caterpillar to sphinx moth.

However, a direct link between brain injury and subsequent delayed global neurodegeneration has remained elusive. Here we show that juvenile (4-week-old) mice that are given a discrete unilateral lesion of the parietal cortex, develop to adulthood without obvious clinical symptoms. However, when monitored 3 and 9 months after lesioning, using high-resolution three-dimensional MRI and behavioural testing, the same mice display global neurodegenerative changes. Surprisingly, erythropoietin, a haematopoietic growth factor with potent neuroprotective activity, prevents behavioural abnormalities, cognitive dysfunction and brain atrophy when given for 2 weeks after acute brain injury. This demonstrates that a localized brain lesion is a primary cause of delayed global neurodegeneration that can be efficiently counteracted by neuroprotection."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/brain/awh703"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/brain/awh703"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150392"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7151"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0006-8950"],["dc.subject","EPO; MRI; neuroprotection; neurodegeneration; neurotrauma; schizophrenia"],["dc.title","Global brain atrophy after unilateral parietal lesion and its prevention by erythropoietin"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

It turns out that excellent soft-tissue contrast requires the reduction of partial volume effects by using 3D MRI at high (isotropic) resolution with linear voxel dimensions of about 100–150 μm. The long T2 relaxation times at relatively low magnetic fields (2.35 T) offer the benefit of a small receiver bandwidth (increased signal-to-noise) at a moderate echo time which together with the small voxel size avoids visual susceptibility artifacts. For measuring times of 1–1.5 h both T1-weighted (FLASH) and T2-weighted (Fast Spin-Echo) 3D MRI acquisitions exhibit detailed anatomical insights in accordance with histological sections from a mouse brain atlas.

In multiple sclerosis, demyelination is caused by autoimmune attacks, but the role of oligodendroglial cells in disease progression and axon degeneration is unclear. Here we show that oligodendrocytes harbor peroxisomes whose function is essential for maintaining white matter tracts throughout adult life. By selectively inactivating the import factor PEX5 in myelinating glia, we generated mutant mice that developed normally, but within several months showed ataxia, tremor and premature death. Absence of functional peroxisomes from oligodendrocytes caused widespread axonal degeneration and progressive subcortical demyelination, but did not interfere with glial survival. Moreover, it caused a strong proinflammatory milieu and, unexpectedly, the infiltration of B and activated CD8(+) T cells into brain lesions. We conclude that peroxisomes provide oligodendrocytes with an essential neuroprotective function against axon degeneration and neuroinflammation, which is relevant for human demyelinating diseases."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/ng2070"],["dc.identifier.isi","000248446900013"],["dc.identifier.pmid","17643102"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/50899"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Nature Publishing Group"],["dc.relation.issn","1061-4036"],["dc.title","Axonal loss and neuroinflammation caused by peroxisome-deficient oligodendrocytes"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The effects result from a shortening of the water proton T1 relaxation time due to the presence of unchelated paramagnetic Mn2+ ions, which access the brain by systemic circulation and crossing of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). A pronounced Mn2+-induced signal enhancement was first seen in structures without a BBB, such as the choroid plexus, pituitary gland, and pineal gland. Within 24 hr after administration, Mn2+ contrast highlighted the olfactory bulb, inferior colliculi, cerebellum, and the CA3 subfield of the hippocampus. The affinity of Mn2+ to various brain systems suggests the neuronal uptake of Mn2+ ions from the extracellular space and subsequent axonal transport. Thus, at least part of the Mn2+ contrast reflects a functional brain response of behaving animals, for example, in the olfactory system.
