Outline of Research at the Start |
Advances in brain imaging research have significantly improved our understanding of the brain's functions and its functional organization, yet their clinical applications remain very limited. This research aims to bridge this gap by developing a system that can be used to generate individualized, highly reliable, and reproducible functional connection profile of the human brain in real-time that can be used for neurosurgical applications including preoperative planning and during online intraoperative assessment.
|
Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
For the FY2022, we have scanned 10 more healthy volunteers, completing the MRI scans of all 20 healthy controls. All participants underwent two imaging sessions, about one month apart. Acquired MRI data includes structural T1 MRI data, an hour of resting state functional MRI data, and diffusion-weighted MRI data. Additionally, we have also acquired the MRI data from patients with essential tremor. Preliminary analysis of the acquired datasets from healthy controls have shown that the reliability of the whole-brain FCOR map exhibited an initial rapid increase as more volumes are incorporated into the analysis. With more volumes added, the reliability measure later plateaus suggesting an upper limit to the reliability as well as an optimal number of volumes to achieve this limit. We have also started the analysis of the data from patients with essential tremor. This will be completed in FY2023.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The implementation of the project in the second year was progressing smoothly as planned. With all the data acquired, we have started the full analysis, which we plan to complete in FY2023.
|
Strategy for Future Research Activity |
For the FY2023, we will complete the full analysis of the acquired MRI data. The results of the analysis will be presented in upcoming domestic and international conferences and will be organized into a manuscript to be submitted for possible publication in international journals.
