Metabolic alterations within the primary visual cortex in blind patients with end-stage glaucoma: a proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy study by Wenqing Zhu, Wenqing Zhu, Wenqing Zhu, Linying Guo, Wenwen Chen, Wenwen Chen, Wenwen Chen, Tingting Liu, Tingting Liu, Tingting Liu, Xinghuai Sun, Xinghuai Sun, Xinghuai Sun, Xinghuai Sun

“…Despite this profound disability, the neurochemical basis of preserved cortical plasticity remains unclear, compounded by the challenge of recruiting this vulnerable population for advanced neuroimaging studies.MethodsWe conducted single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in 11 blind patients with end-stage primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and 11 normal controls to characterize metabolic alterations in the primary visual cortex (V1) and their relationship to residual retinal function.ResultsGlutamate-glutamine complex (Glx), N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), and myo-inositol (Ins) ratios relative to creatine (Cr) were quantified, revealing significantly elevated Glx/Cr in POAG (95% CI: 0.09 ∼ 0.63, P = 0.011), while NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, and Ins/Cr remained stable (P > 0.05). …”

B-fields and Dust in Interstellar Filaments Using Dust Polarization (BALLAD-POL). III. Grain Alignment and Disruption Mechanisms in G34.43+0.24 Using Polarization Observations from... by Saikhom Pravash, Archana Soam, Pham Ngoc Diep, Thiem Hoang, Nguyen Bich Ngoc, Le Ngoc Tram

“…To disentangle the effect of magnetic field tangling on the polarization hole, we estimate the polarization angle dispersion function. We find depolarizations in the North and Center regions are due to a decrease in the net alignment efficiency of grains, but in the South region, the effect of magnetic field tangling is significant to cause depolarization. …”
