Development of a neurofeedback protocol targeting the frontal pole using near-infrared spectroscopy.

Neurofeedback has been studied with the aim of controlling cerebral activity. Near-infrared spectroscopy is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique used for measuring hemoglobin concentration changes in cortical surface areas with high temporal resolution. Thus, near-infrared spectroscopy may be useful for neurofeedback, which requires real-time feedback of repeated brain activation measurements. However, no study has specifically targeted neurofeedback, using near-infrared spectroscopy, in the frontal pole cortex

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma as a recurrence of primary central nervous system lymphoma after chemotherapy: A case report

We report about a 48-year-old woman diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). After chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation, she presented with a continuous high-grade fever. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed prominent hepatosplenomegaly and high diffuse uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose in the liver, spleen, and lungs. Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) was diagnosed using random skin biopsy. There were no symptoms of IVLBCL at the time of diagnosis of PCNSL. The histopathological features of PCNSL and IVLBCL were nearly similar. These findings suggest that IVLBCL was the recurrence of PCNSL rather than a separate entity

Freshwater migration and feeding habits of juvenile temperate seabass Lateolabrax japonicus in the stratified Yura River estuary, the Sea of Japan

Juvenile temperate seabass Lateolabrax japonicus were sampled along the Yura River estuary from April to July 2008 to determine their distribution and feeding habits during migration within a microtidal estuary. Throughout the sampling period, juvenile seabass were distributed not only in the surf zone, but also in the freshwater zone, and they were particularly abundant in areas with aquatic vegetation in the freshwater zone. This distribution pattern suggests that the early life history of the temperate seabass depends more intensively on the river (freshwater) than previously considered. Small juveniles in the freshwater zone fed on copepods and chironomid larvae and upon reaching a standard length (SL) of approximately 20 mm did they fed on mysids. In contrast, juveniles (approx. 17–80 mm SL) in the surf zone fed mainly on mysids
