...Eriko Seo; Yoshiteru Seo ABSTRACT We investigated the renal function of the brackish water clam, Ruditapes philippinarum , employing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The R. philippinarum kidney consists of two renal tubules, a glandular (GT) and a saccular (ST) tubule. After exposure to seawater...

.../user-licence-1-1/ Summary: Magnetic resonance imaging showed accumulation of the injected tracers in the kidney. The atrial wall of the Mytilus galloprovincialis could filtrate small molecules (<0.5 kDa), but not larger molecules. Nephridia Glomerular filtration T 1 relaxation...

... in different regions of the offspring mouse brain after maternal exposure to nutrient restriction during pregnancy and lactation. Using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging, we found that brain regions were differentially sensitive to maternal protein restriction and exhibited particular patterns...

...Hidefumi Wakashin; Eriko Seo; Yoshiteru Seo ABSTRACT T 1 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging ( T 1w -MRI) was employed to detect the accumulation of manganese ion (Mn 2+ ) in urine in the kidney of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis , and the longitudinal relaxation rates (1/ T 1 = R 1 ) were...

.... A novel magnetic resonance imaging-based approach was implemented to quantify changes in tendon CSA from rest along the length of the Achilles tendon under load conditions corresponding to 10%, 20% and 30% of isometric plantar flexor maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Reductions in tendon CSA occurring...

... mackerel(two-sample t -tests, P <0.05). Fig. 3. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the cranial region of the opah and resulting 3-D reconstructions using image segmentation. (A) MRI coronal section, approximately midway through eyes showing the position of the extraocular muscles relative...

... function may be determined within a single voxel as small as 500 μm 3 . DSI involves the acquisition of numerous diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images per spatial unit, each with a different diffusion-weighting gradient value and angularity. This extension of the prior diffusion-weighted techniques...

... kinematic model buccal mass Aplysia californica swallowing magnetic resonance imaging Animal behavior is a complex interaction between neural control and peripheral biomechanics. Nervous systems have evolved simultaneously with bodies, and both develop and grow together during the lifetime...

...David M. Neustadter; Richard F. Drushel; Hillel J. Chiel SUMMARY A novel magnetic resonance imaging interface has been developed that makes it possible to image movements in intact, freely moving subjects. We have used this interface to image the internal structures of the feeding apparatus (i.e...

...Susannah K. S. Thorpe; Yu Li; Robin H. Crompton; R. McNeill Alexander ABSTRACT Calculation of the stresses exerted by human muscles requires knowledge of their physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has made it possible to measure PCSAs of leg muscles of healthy...
