13:42 0528. Maturation of long- and short-range tracts in macaque brain with ultra-high-resolution diffusion MRI
R. Lin, T. Zhu, Z. Zhang, M. Ouyang, H. Huang
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, United States
Impact: The revealed maturational processes of the developmental macaque brain WM tracts, specifically the short-range WM tracts, offer unprecedented insights into common and unique features of brain development across primate species.
13:54 0529. Maturation of marmoset cortical cytoarchitecture from birth to adolescence with ultra-high-resolution diffusion MRI
T. Zhu, Z. Zhang, J. Guo, M. Ouyang, Y. Zheng, A. Sousa, J. Levine, A. Kriegstein, H. Huang
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, United States
Impact: We reveal heterogenous cortical cytoarchitecture maturation patterns in developing marmoset brains, highlighting increased mean kurtosis and decreased fractional anisotropy over time. Our study provides a foundation for understanding neurodevelopmental milestones and evolutionary aspects of cortical maturation in primate models.
14:06 0530. Differential impacts of social isolation and enriched environment on multi-sensory brain-wide functionality and network segregation
T. You, T. Lee, G. H. Im, S-g Kim, S. Chung, J. H. Lee
Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, Korea, Republic of
Impact: Our results emphasizes the global brain network changes due to environmental conditions. In particular, we show that both the visual and olfactory network are the most vulnerable to changes due to social isolation highlighting the importance of visual/olfactory social cues.
14:18 0531. Impact of environmental range size on hippocampal structure in chimpanzees
M. Chauvel, E. Kirilina, I. Lipp, P-L Bazin, C. Jäger, K. Pine, L. Edwards, T. Gräßle, C. Crockford, R. Wittig, N. Weiskopf
Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany
Impact: This research reveals that the ranging area size affects hippocampal structure linked to spatial memory in chimpanzees, contributing to our understanding of cognitive adaptations and the neural mechanisms underlying spatial navigation in primates.
14:30 0532. MRI-detectable hippocampal volume changes associated with CA1 dendritic growth and branching in adult mice following environmental enrichment
A. Sumiyoshi, R. Ryoke, R. Kawashima
Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan
Impact: Combined MRI and histology study in adult mice revealed the causal relationship between MRI-detectbale volume changes and changes in neuronal morphology. These results provide microscopic interpretations of human MRI studies that have reported structural brain plasticity under various intervention protocols.
14:42 0533. Bias-Free Multi-dimensional MRI Analysis to Resolve Age-related Microstructural Differences in the Ex-Vivo Female Bonnet Macaque Brain
L. Dieckhaus, K. McDermott, J-P Galons, C. Barnes, E. Hutchinson
University of Arizona, Tucson, United States
Impact: Multi-variate approaches, such as a support vector machine classifier are advantageous when assessing aging and show potential in being applied to neurodegenerative disease studies.
14:54 0534. Self-contained Small Animal Imaging Insert for Clinical MRI Systems
T. Lobmeyer, A. Abaei, F. Bschorr, T. Huefken, V. Rasche
University Hospital Ulm, Ulm, Germany
Impact: The easy-to-use system shows adequate SNR for imaging mice in-vivo. The possibility of using the clinical scanners console, sequences, the main magnetic field and the gradient system, allows for a high degree of transferability between preclinical and clinical trials.
15:06 0535. Longitudinal MRI Assessment of ARIA in 22 month old PS2APP Mice Treated with Anti-Amyloid-ß Antibodies
M. K. Choy, M. Xiong, W. Meilandt, R. Virgincar, J. Imperio, S. Vito, T. Wu, F. Frank, P. Sharma, C. Bohlen, R. Weimer, L. Xie
Genentech, Menlo Park, United States
Impact: This study demonstrates that ARIA-E and ARIA-H can be induced in aged PS2APP mice, replicating key human dynamics. This model enables preclinical ARIA evaluation, potentially accelerating development of safer anti-amyloid-ß therapies for Alzheimer’s disease.
15:18 0536. Deuterium MR Spectroscopy (DMS) identifies altered Glucose Metabolism in the Brain of an Alzheimer Mouse Model at 6 months of age
A. Veltien, J. Van Asten, M. Wiesmann, T. Scheenen, A. Kiliaan, A. Heerschap
Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands
Impact: Employing the non-invasive potential of Deuterium MR Spectroscopy for the simultaneous assessment of glucose uptake, glycolytic and TCA-cycle activity, we demonstrate a hypermetabolic cerebral state in an early stage Alzheimer’s mouse model, which may resemble mild cognitive impairment in humans.
