They pointed out, among other things, that these "new" data are based on measurements and photographs of brain specimens published by Dr. Jesse L. Conel 50 years ago.
In June, a freezer failure at the Harvard Brain Bank in Belmont, Mass., ruined 150 brain specimens, many of them from people with autism who died young.
Importantly, we observe the same tropism in naturally HCMV-infected fetal brain specimens.
These methods allow the investigation of mRNA-based transcriptosomal profiles of brain specimens from AD humans and transgenic animals.
WNV could be identified and typed in serum and brain specimens from a human and horse with neurological disease.
Several studies of complex psychotic disorders with large numbers of neurobiological phenotypes are currently under way, in living patients and controls, and on assemblies of brain specimens.
High resolution diffusion tensor imaging and tractography of ex vivo brain specimens has the potential to reveal detailed fibre architecture not visible on in vivo images.
Based on this analysis, brain specimens of aspect ratio (diameter/thickness) S ⩽ 1.0 are required to minimise the effects of inhomogeneous deformation during tension tests.
The study's brain specimens were donated by players and families who suspected the presence of the disease, presenting a skewed population.
However, this group was not random and didn't constitute a representative sample of all NFL players, as many of these brain specimens were donated by family members specifically because they suspected CTE had played a role in the person's demise.
McKee and her colleagues wanted to explore the relationship between CCL11 and CTE by comparing levels of the protein in brain specimens from football players, people with Alzheimer's disease and people who died with healthy brains.
