Einhäuser thinks, based on this result, that the system could also be a diagnostic tool for gauging brain function.
Adenosine acts like mercury in a thermometer, only it gauges brain cell energy rather than heat.
A sterile brain infusion cannula (28-gauge; Brain infusion kit 1; Alzet, Palo Alto, CA) was stereotaxically implanted into the left third ventricle.
The predictive power of the PET scan comes from its ability to gauge the brain's average metabolism.
As neurobehavioral and neuropsychiatric disorders are increasingly examined within the context of abnormal development, the ability to accurately gauge regional brain maturity becomes ever more important.
A functional M.R.I. scanner gauged their brain activity as they did so.
A 30-gauge Alzet brain infusion cannula was inserted into the lateral ventricle (3.2 mm from the skull surface), which was then cemented to three anchoring screws on the skull.
Because the anterior pituitary sits outside of the blood-brain-barrier, it has been used in previous work to gauge non-specific brain enhancement due to systemic increases in manganese [74].
From 1975 to 1979, as part of the study, psychologists gave a number of tests meant to gauge the participants' brain functions.
