We investigate the firm size effect for the period 1958 to 1977 in the framework of a multi-factor
pricing model. The risk-adjusted difference in returns between the top five percent and the …

Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) can be used to estimate excess kurtosis, which is a dimensionless
measure for the deviation of water diffusion profile from Gaussian distribution. Several …

Recently, remarkable success has been demonstrated in using MR diffusion tensor imaging
(DTI) to characterize white matter. Water diffusion in complex biological tissue …

The cholinergic system has a crucial role to play in visual function. Although cholinergic drugs
have been a focus of attention as glaucoma medications for reducing eye pressure, little is …

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide and its pathogenesis remains
unclear. In this study, we measured the structure, metabolism and function of the visual …

Exposure to early life stress results in behavioural changes, and these dysfunctions may
persist throughout adulthood. In this study, we investigated whether hippocampus volume and …

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease of the visual system. While elevated intraocular
pressure is considered to be a major risk factor, the primary cause and pathogenesis of this …

It is generally accepted that cognitive processes, such as learning and memory, are affected
in depression. The present study used a rat model of depression, chronic unpredictable mild …

Purpose To evaluate the late effects of radiation‐induced damages in the rat brain by
means of in vivo multiparametric MRI. Materials and Methods The right hemibrains of seven …

Injury to retinal ganglion cells (RGC), central nervous system neurons that relay visual
information to the brain, often leads to RGC axon degeneration and permanently lost visual …
