Einstein's brain was stored after his death in 1955 and cut into 240 pieces by the pathologist who performed the autopsy. Parts of Einstein's brain were later sent to researchers in the 1980s and 1990s to be studied. Studies found that Einstein's parietal lobes were connected in unusual ways that may have allowed for his brilliance. His left hippocampus also had larger neurons than the right, implying stronger connections. Einstein's brain was smaller than average but had a greater density of neurons. He also had more glial cells per neuron than controls, suggesting increased metabolic need.

Deep Brain Stimulation
DBS is a surgical procedure that implants thin electrode leads into targeted areas of the brain to treat neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease. It provides an alternative to ablative surgeries and can help treat conditions like epilepsy, OCD, depression, and PSP. Candidates for DBS are generally those who still respond to medications but experience inadequate relief from advanced stages of disease. The surgery takes 3-4 hours but the full procedure including scans takes 5-6 hours. Benefits include improved daily living, reduced dependence on others, and relief from tremors, stiffness, and other symptoms, as well as reduced side effects from medications.
Connectome
The document discusses the brain as a complex network and introduces the concept of the connectome. It describes how the brain exhibits both segregation into specialized areas and integration through connections between areas. Mapping the structural and functional connectivity between brain regions using tools from network science and graph theory provides a powerful way to quantitatively describe the topological organization of the brain. Analyzing the human connectome has revealed hierarchical modular organization and the presence of connector hubs and rich clubs that facilitate integration and efficient communication in the brain network. Understanding disruptions to functional and structural connectivity may help explain neurological and psychiatric disorders.

II. Risk of CJD transmission in clinical settings is low with standard precautions. Care involves managing symptoms, supporting patients and caregivers, and facilitating end-of-life planning.
III. Current research includes studies of bioassays, diagnostic factors, and treatments like art therapy, with the goal of better understanding and caring for those with prion diseases.
Cerebellum
This document provides an overview of the cerebellum. It discusses the gross anatomy, radiographic appearance, development, functional divisions, blood supply, and common pathologies of the cerebellum. Key points covered include the connections between the cerebellum and brainstem, the cortical layers and circuitry, the phylogenetic and functional roles of different cerebellar regions, and common causes of cerebellar ataxia including vascular, infectious, autoimmune, metabolic, neoplastic and inherited etiologies. Diagrams are provided to illustrate cerebellar anatomy and examples of various cerebellar lesions.
Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS) for Intractable Epilepsy
The RNS system is an FDA-approved treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy that involves surgically implanting a neurostimulator device to detect and respond to seizure activity. Clinical trials found that the RNS system provided a median seizure reduction of over 37% within 3 months for treated patients compared to a 25.2% reduction for the sham group. Long-term follow-up over 7 years found the RNS system maintained seizure control effectiveness and was safe, with no chronic neurological effects reported. The RNS system may be an option for patients who have failed two or more anti-seizure medications and are not candidates for resective epilepsy surgery.
Melas
This document discusses MELAS (Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy with Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-like Episodes), a mitochondrial disease. MELAS is most commonly caused by the A3243G mutation and is maternally inherited. It is characterized by stroke-like episodes typically beginning in the teenage years, as well as other symptoms like diabetes, deafness, and cognitive impairment. Brain imaging during episodes shows cortical lesions. Muscle biopsies may reveal abnormal mitochondria clustering in blood vessels. There is currently no cure, but certain treatments can help manage symptoms.

Basics of eeg signal
EEG detects brain wave activity through electrodes placed on the scalp. Brain waves fall into different frequency bands such as delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma, which correlate with cognitive and mental states. EEG signals are generated by excitatory and inhibitory neuron activity. EEG recordings involve placing electrodes on standardized scalp locations, amplifying and processing the signals, then analyzing them in frequency or time domains. Digital EEG offers advantages over analog systems like high precision timing and non-invasiveness. It provides a relatively inexpensive way to check brain functioning across different areas.

Einstein lancet '99
This document summarizes a study examining Albert Einstein's preserved brain. It begins by providing background on past studies examining the brains of intellectual giants and limitations of those studies. It then describes how Einstein's brain was preserved after his death and the hypotheses guiding the current study. Namely, the researchers hypothesized differences in Einstein's parietal lobes given their role in spatial reasoning and mathematical thought. Upon examination, the study found a unique feature in Einstein's brain - the absence of a parietal operculum in each hemisphere, a feature not present in any of the control brains examined.
The Rriddle Of Einstein's Brain
The document summarizes the journey of Albert Einstein's brain after his death in 1955. It describes how the pathologist Thomas Harvey removed Einstein's brain without permission and kept pieces of it. Neurophysiologists later studied Einstein's preserved brain tissue to try to understand the physical basis of his genius. A notable finding was that Einstein's brain had more glial cells than neurons in the left inferior parietal lobe, an area important for integrating information. While studies provided some insights, Einstein's revolutionary ideas and imagination cannot be reduced to physical attributes alone. His genius remains a mystery that changed our understanding of the world.

Introduction To Neuroscience
The document provides a historical overview of neuroscience from prehistory to modern times. It discusses key developments such as the realization that the brain, not the heart, is the center of intelligence and memory (Ancient Greece). Later studies localized brain functions and identified the neuron as the basic functional unit of the nervous system (19th century). Contemporary neuroscience examines the brain at molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral levels to understand nervous system disorders and the relationship between brain activity and the mind.
USMLE NEUROANATOMY 016 White matter of the brain corpus calloum.pdf
Neurosurgery involving the white matter of the brain typically focuses on addressing specific conditions or abnormalities within this tissue. The white matter comprises nerve fibers, or axons, which are responsible for transmitting signals between different regions of the brain and connecting various parts of the central nervous system. Surgery involving the white matter of the brain is highly specialized and requires a thorough understanding of the brain's anatomy, neuroimaging, and advanced surgical techniques. Neurosurgeons carefully plan interventions to achieve therapeutic goals while minimizing damage to critical white matter tracts that play a crucial role in neural communication.

The sign wasn’t placed there by a higher power, as the document discusses the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It outlines the stages and symptoms of Alzheimer's, risk factors that increase the chances of developing the disease, and potential preventative measures and treatments. The disease results from changes in the brain like the formation of plaques and tangles that are thought to disrupt communication between neurons.
Vertigo 2008
Vertigo is a type of dizziness characterized by sensations of movement, typically spinning or rotation. It can be caused by issues in the inner ear, vestibular nerve, or brainstem. Episodes are often unpredictable and accompanied by nausea, vomiting, imbalance, and anxiety. Between episodes, vertigo sufferers may experience headaches, instability, and depression. Long-term, vertigo negatively impacts quality of life.
Vertigo 2010
The document discusses various causes of vertigo including peripheral causes like benign positional vertigo and Meniere's disease, as well as central causes like stroke and migraine. It outlines the diagnostic approach including taking a history of symptoms, performing a physical exam with tests like the Dix-Hallpike maneuver, and considering audiometric testing, imaging, or other workup based on findings. The goal is to distinguish between peripheral and central causes of vertigo based on characteristics of the nystagmus, hearing loss, imbalance, and other associated neurological symptoms.
Vertigo2010
Vertigo refers to illusions of movement and is caused by problems in the vestibular system. Common causes of vertigo include BPPV, Meniere's disease, sudden hearing loss, vestibular neuritis, and labyrinthitis. Peripheral vertigo tends to be episodic with intense but brief symptoms, while central vertigo is often continuous with less intense symptoms. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include medications, repositioning maneuvers, physical therapy, or surgery.
Vertigo and dizziness
1) Dizziness and vertigo are common, with vertigo defined as a perception of movement and dizziness having various meanings.
2) Vertigo can be peripheral or central in origin, with peripheral vertigo arising from problems in the inner ear and central vertigo from problems in the brain or brainstem.
3) A thorough history, physical exam including tests like Dix-Hallpike, and sometimes ancillary testing can help differentiate between peripheral causes like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or Ménière's disease versus central causes like vertebrobasilar insufficiency.
Usa confirance
The document discusses several cases of an inflammatory central nervous system syndrome affecting the brainstem and spinal cord. Extensive investigations for these patients were negative except for minimally elevated ANA and SS-B in one patient each. Biopsies of brain tissue from four patients showed marked lymphocytic infiltration. Patients responded well initially to high dose corticosteroids but had varying long-term outcomes, from excellent to substantial deficits remaining. The syndrome is concluded to be a treatable inflammatory condition of the CNS responsive to immunosuppression.
Unconscious sensory perception in a case of hemineglect
This document describes a case study of a 50-year-old woman with left-sided hemiplegia and neglect following a right occipitotemporal infarct. She showed unconscious sensory perception of her left side despite somatoparaphrenia and neglect on testing. Caloric stimulation improved her neglect. This demonstrates a phenomenon similar to blindsight, providing evidence of unconscious sensory perception in patients with sensory loss and neglect.

It then discusses determining the disease pattern through differential diagnosis. Additional steps include considering odd dyskinesias, emphasizing clinical clues, investigations for primary vs. symptomatic disorders, additional tests for specific syndromes, and guidelines for children/young adults.
Stroke prevention a reality in this millennium
The document discusses strategies for stroke prevention. It finds that ACE inhibitors such as perindopril are effective for secondary stroke prevention, reducing risks by 28% overall and up to 50% for hemorrhagic stroke. All stroke patients, whether hypertensive or normotensive, should receive an ACE inhibitor. Statins also benefit stroke prevention and survival, especially for patients with known coronary artery disease or high-risk hypertension, even with normal LDL cholesterol levels.
Stroke and neuroprotection
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In India, stroke incidence and mortality rates are higher than in developed countries. The major risk factors for stroke include hypertension, smoking, diabetes, heart disease, and atrial fibrillation. Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing cell death. Treatments aim to rapidly restore blood flow and protect brain cells. Thrombolysis can help dissolve clots but must be given within 3 hours, limiting its use. Neuroprotection seeks to protect brain cells and expand the time window for treatment.
Sensory modulation in neurological rehabilitation
This document summarizes a case study of a 50-year-old female patient who presented with sudden onset weakness on the left side of her body. Imaging showed a right occipitotemporal infarct. On evaluation, she exhibited left visual neglect and hemianopia but no auditory neglect. Caloric tests reduced her visual neglect. She also demonstrated mirror agnosia, somatoparaphrenia, and anosognosia of her left limb weakness. The case study explores various phenomena related to right hemispheric dysfunction such as visual neglect, extinction, body schema disorders, and the effect of caloric stimulation.

This study investigated whether vestibular stimulation through caloric testing could reverse visual neglect, mental imagery deficits, and mirror agnosia in a patient with left hemiplegia and right parietal lobe infarction. During caloric testing, the patient's visual neglect disappeared as she was able to report objects on both sides. However, neglect returned after 30 minutes. Mirror agnosia was not reversed by caloric testing, suggesting it is caused by right parietal damage rather than being a consequence of neglect. The study concludes that vestibular stimulation can temporarily eliminate neglect to allow access to previously inaccessible memories, but does not impact mirror agnosia.

Based on their experience, the algorithm provides 96% pain relief and high patient satisfaction for a variety of facial pain conditions.
Pathophysiology of migraine
Migraine is an inherited central nervous system disorder characterized by a hyperexcitable brain. Imaging studies show changes in brain structures like the periaqueductal gray over time with repeated migraine attacks. Understanding the pathophysiology has led to improved treatments that target mechanisms like central sensitization and abnormal neuronal activity in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis.
Quality of life in post stroke patients-role of nootorpil
Nootropil is approved for the management and early recovery of symptoms of post-stroke sequelae of thrombotic origin by binding to neuronal cell membranes and improving membrane fluidity, glucose and oxygen uptake, and neurotransmitter functioning to limit neuronal damage and aid in early restoration of neuronal function. Guidelines recommend initiating Nootropil therapy with IV bolus to attain desired levels through collaterals to prevent further damage, followed by IV infusion and at least 12 weeks of oral administration for optimal results in recovering neurological functions after stroke. Certain clinical factors like paralysis lasting over 96 hours or permanent sensory loss indicate a poorer prognosis for recovery from stroke.
Practice pearls diagnosis and prophylaxis of migraine
This document provides guidelines and recommendations for the diagnosis and prophylaxis of migraine. It begins with the International Headache Society criteria for diagnosing migraine which involves assessing head-related symptoms and associated non-headache symptoms. It emphasizes taking a detailed patient history including triggers and risk factors. The physical exam should include a neurological exam.

Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Einsteins brain
- 1. Einstein’s Brain • 1879-1955
- 2. Einstein’s Brain • Einstein died in 1955 at age 76. His brain was stored by Dr Thomas Harvey, pathologist, who performed the autopsy. Harvey cut the brain into 240 pieces, which he kept in jars at his house. Harvey moved around the country but he always brought the brain with him. He eventually sent parts out to be studied to various researchers in the 1980s and 1990s. (Reference: Abraham, C., Possessing Genius: The Bizarre Odyssey of Einstein's Brain, New York: St. Martin's Press, 2002)
- 3. Einstein’s Brain: Smaller Size • 1879-1955
- 4. Einstein’s Brain: Parietal lobe • Parietal lobes are responsible for visual and 3- D representation and mathematical reasoning. • E’s inferior parietal lobules are not divided by major cleft – Not seen in 191 controls! – Axons were connected in unusual ways • “might have allowed for his brilliance and his ability to put spatial representations into mathematical concepts”
- 5. Einstein’s Brain: Hippocampus • E’s left hippocampal neurons were larger in 4 of 5 five regions compared to right. – Controls showed minimal and inconsistent asymmetry. – Larger neurons in left hippocampus, DW Zaidel noted, imply that Einstein's left brain may have had stronger nerve cell connections between the hippocampus and neocortex than his right.
- 6. Einstein’s Brain: Other Differences • Total brain weight of only 1,230 grams (average same-aged male = 1,350 grams). • Thickness of area 9 (prefrontal cortex) was thinner than that of 5 controls, but same number of neurons. – Thus density of neurons in AE’s brain greater.
- 7. "On the Brain of a Scientist: Albert Einstein” Diamond, Scheibel, & Murphy (1985) • Surveyed neurons and glia in left and right area 9 (important in planning) and area 39 (language and integration) – More glial cells per neuron in AE compared to 11 age-matched male controls. – Left area 39 most significant difference • Conclusion: AE’s neurons may have had an increased "metabolic need"
