Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of low‐frequency electric cortical
stimulation on epileptic focus in humans. Methods: We stimulated the epileptic focus in a …

Objective Although rupture of cerebral aneurysms typically occurs at the fragile wall at the
apex or pole, some aneurysms rupture through the body or the neck. The purpose of this study …

Background and Purpose— The Middle Cerebral Artery Embolism Local Fibrinolytic
Intervention Trial (MELT) Japan was organized to determine the safety and clinical efficacy of …

We have developed a liquid material for embolization of arteriovenous malformations that is
a mixture of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer and metrizamide dissolved in dimethyl …

An operation to place the temporal muscles on the brain surface, namely EncephaloMyo
Synangiosis, was carried out on 10 patients with “Moyamoya” disease lacking the middle …

We investigated movement-related change in the cortical EEG signal by simultaneous recording
from the primary sensorimotor area (S1–M1) and the supplementary motor area proper (…

Bcl-2 family gene products are critical to the integration of cell death stimuli that target the
mitochondrion. Proapoptotic BAD (Bcl-2-associated death protein) has been shown to …

Background and Purpose— We determined which hemodynamic parameter independently
characterizes the rupture status of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms using …

We recorded somatosensory evoked magnetic fields (SEFs) by a whole head magnetometer
to elucidate cortical receptive areas involved in pain processing, focusing on the primary …

In order to clarify further the characteristics of ictal direct current (DC) shifts in human
epilepsy, we investigated them by subdural and scalp recording in six and three patients, …
