Abstract
PURPOSE Synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), based on an inhomogeneous geometric and microscopic irradiation pattern of the tissues with high-dose and high-dose-rate x-rays, enhances the permeability of brain tumor vessels. This study attempted to determine the time and size range of the permeability window induced by MRT in the blood-brain (tumor) barrier. METHODS AND MATERIALS Rats-bearing 9L gliomas were exposed to MRT, either unidirectional (tumor dose, 406 Gy) or bidirectional (crossfired) (2 × 203 Gy). We measured vessel permeability to molecules of 3 sizes (Gd-DOTA, Dotarem, 0.56 kDa; gadolinium-labeled albumin, ∼74 kDa; and gadolinium-labeled IgG, 160 kDa) by daily in vivo magnetic resonance imaging, from 1 day before to 10 days after irradiation. RESULTS An equivalent tumor dose of bidirectional MRT delivered from 2 orthogonal directions increased tumor vessel permeability for the smallest molecule tested more effectively than unidirectional MRT. Bidirectional MRT also affected the permeability of normal contralateral vessels to a different extent than unidirectional MRT. Conversely, bidirectional MRT did not modify the permeability of normal or tumor vessels for both larger molecules (74 and 160 kDa). CONCLUSIONS High-dose bidirectional (cross-fired) MRT induced a significant increase in tumor vessel permeability for small molecules between the first and the seventh day after irradiation, whereas permeability of vessels in normal brain tissue remained stable. Such a permeability window could facilitate an efficient and safe delivery of intravenous small molecules (≤0.56 kDa) to tumoral tissues. A permeability window was not achieved by molecules larger than gado-grafted albumin (74 kDa). Vascular permeability for molecules between these 2 sizes has not been determined.

Abstract
In patients suffering absence epilepsy, recurring seizures can significantly decrease their quality of life and lead to yet untreatable comorbidities. Absence seizures are characterized by spike-and-wave discharges on the electroencephalogram associated with a transient alteration of consciousness. However, it is still unknown how the brain responds to external stimuli during and outside of seizures. This study aimed to investigate responsiveness to visual and somatosensory stimulation in Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS), a well-established rat model for absence epilepsy. Animals were imaged under non-curarized awake state using a quiet, zero echo time, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) sequence. Sensory stimulations were applied during interictal and ictal periods. Whole-brain hemodynamic responses were compared between these two states. Additionally, a mean-field simulation model was used to explain the changes of neural responsiveness to visual stimulation between states. During a seizure, whole-brain responses to both sensory stimulations were suppressed and spatially hindered. In the cortex, hemodynamic responses were negatively polarized during seizures, despite the application of a stimulus. The mean-field simulation revealed restricted propagation of activity due to stimulation and agreed well with fMRI findings. Results suggest that sensory processing is hindered or even suppressed by the occurrence of an absence seizure, potentially contributing to decreased responsiveness during this absence epileptic process.

FUS-mediated BBB opening leads to transient perfusion decrease and inflammation without acute or chronic brain lesion. Theranostics 2024; 14:4147-4160.

Abstract
Impact: The permeabilization of the BBB to deliver therapeutics with MR-guided FUS redefines therapeutic strategies as it improves patient outcomes. To ensure the best translation towards clinical treatment, the evaluation of hemodynamic modifications in the CNS is necessary to refine treatment parameters. Methods: MR-guided FUS was applied at 1.5 MHz with a 50 ms burst every 1 s to open the BBB. CBF, BVf and ADC parameters were monitored with MRI. Cavitation was monitored with a PCD during the FUS sequence and classified with the IUD index into three cavitation levels. We distinctly applied the FUS in the cortex or the striatum. After the BBB permeabilization, neuroinflammation markers were quantified longitudinally. Results: The BBB was successfully opened in all animals in this study and only one animal was classified as "hard" and excluded from the rest of the study. 30 min after FUS-induced BBB opening in the cortex, we measured a 54% drop in CBF and a 13% drop in BVf compared to the contralateral side. After permeabilization of the striatum, a 38% drop in CBF and a 15% drop in BVf were measured. CBF values rapidly returned to baseline, and 90 min after BBB opening, no significant differences were observed. We quantified the subsequent neuroinflammation, noting a significant increase in astrocytic recruitment at 2 days and microglial activation at 1 day after FUS. After 7 days, no more inflammation was visible in the brain. Conclusion: FUS-induced BBB opening transiently modifies hemodynamic parameters such as CBF and BVf, suggesting limited nutrients and oxygen supply to the CNS in the hour following the procedure.

Abstract
Background Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a cerebral small vessel disease in which amyloid-β accumulates in vessel walls. CAA is a leading cause of symptomatic lobar intracerebral hemorrhage and an important contributor to age-related cognitive decline. Recent work has suggested that vascular dysfunction may precede symptomatic stages of CAA, and that spontaneous slow oscillations in arteriolar diameter (termed vasomotion), important for amyloid-β clearance, may be impaired in CAA. Methods To systematically study the progression of vascular dysfunction in CAA, we used the APP23 mouse model of amyloidosis, which is known to develop spontaneous cerebral microbleeds mimicking human CAA. Using in vivo 2-photon microscopy, we longitudinally imaged unanesthetized APP23 transgenic mice and wildtype littermates from 7 to 14 months of age, tracking amyloid-β accumulation and vasomotion in individual pial arterioles over time. MRI was used in separate groups of 12-, 18-, and 24-month-old APP23 transgenic mice and wildtype littermates to detect microbleeds and to assess cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular reactivity with pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling. Results We observed a significant decline in vasomotion with age in APP23 mice, while vasomotion remained unchanged in wildtype mice with age. This decline corresponded in timing to initial vascular amyloid-β deposition (∼8-10 months of age), although was more strongly correlated with age than with vascular amyloid-β burden in individual arterioles. Declines in vasomotion preceded the development of MRI-visible microbleeds and the loss of smooth muscle actin in arterioles, both of which were observed in APP23 mice by 18 months of age. Additionally, evoked cerebrovascular reactivity was intact in APP23 mice at 12 months of age, but significantly lower in APP23 mice by 24 months of age. Conclusions Our findings suggest that a decline in spontaneous vasomotion is an early, potentially pre-symptomatic, manifestation of CAA and vascular dysfunction, and a possible future treatment target.

Abstract
PURPOSE This work aims to explore the effect of Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) opening using ultrasound combined with microbubbles injection on cerebral blood flow in rats. METHODS Two groups of n = 5 rats were included in this study. The first group was used to investigate the impact of BBB opening on the Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) signal, in particular on the arterial transit time (ATT). The second group was used to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of the change in cerebral blood flow (CBF) over time following BBB opening and validate these results using DSC-MRI. RESULTS Using pCASL, a decrease in CBF of up to 29 . 6 ± 15 . 1 % $$ 29.6\pm 15.1\% $$ was observed in the target hemisphere, associated with an increase in arterial transit time. The latter was estimated to be 533 ± 121ms $$ 533\pm 12\mathrm{1ms} $$ in the BBB opening impacted regions against 409 ± 93ms $$ 409\pm 93\mathrm{ms} $$ in the contralateral hemisphere. The spatio-temporal analysis of CBF maps indicated a nonlocal hypoperfusion. DSC-MRI measurements were consistent with the obtained results. CONCLUSION This study provided strong evidence that BBB opening using microbubble intravenous injection induces a transient hypoperfusion. A spatiotemporal analysis of the hypoperfusion changes allows to establish some points of similarity with the cortical spreading depression phenomenon.

Abstract
Standard parameter estimation from vascular magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) data is based on matching the MRF signals to their best counterparts in a grid of coupled simulated signals and parameters, referred to as a dictionary. To reach a good accuracy, the matching requires an informative dictionary whose cost, in terms of design, storage and exploration, is rapidly prohibitive for even moderate numbers of parameters. In this work, we propose an alternative dictionary-based statistical learning (DB-SL) approach made of three steps: 1) a quasi-random sampling strategy to produce efficiently an informative dictionary, 2) an inverse statistical regression model to learn from the dictionary a correspondence between fingerprints and parameters, and 3) the use of this mapping to provide both parameter estimates and their confidence indices. The proposed DB-SL approach is compared to both the standard dictionary-based matching (DBM) method and to a dictionary-based deep learning (DB-DL) method. Performance is illustrated first on synthetic signals including scalable and standard MRF signals with spatial undersampling noise. Then, vascular MRF signals are considered both through simulations and real data acquired in tumor bearing rats. Overall, the two learning methods yield more accurate parameter estimates than matching and to a range not limited to the dictionary boundaries. DB-SL in particular resists to higher noise levels and provides in addition confidence indices on the estimates at no additional cost. DB-SL appears as a promising method to reduce simulation needs and computational requirements, while modeling sources of uncertainty and providing both accurate and interpretable results.

Neurovascular multiparametric MRI defines epileptogenic and seizure propagation regions in experimental mesiotemporal lobe epilepsy. Epilepsia 2021; 62:1244-1255.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Improving the identification of the epileptogenic zone and associated seizure-spreading regions represents a significant challenge. Innovative brain-imaging modalities tracking neurovascular dynamics during seizures may provide new disease biomarkers. METHODS With use of a multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis at 9.4 Tesla, we examined, elaborated, and combined multiple cellular and cerebrovascular MRI read-outs as imaging biomarkers of the epileptogenic and seizure-propagating regions. Analyses were performed in an experimental model of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) generated by unilateral intra-hippocampal injection of kainic acid (KA). RESULTS In the ipsilateral epileptogenic hippocampi, tissue T1 and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability to gadolinium were increased 48-72 hours post-KA, as compared to sham and contralateral hippocampi. BBB permeability endured during spontaneous focal seizures (4-6 weeks), along with a significant increase of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and blood volume fraction (BVf). Simultaneously, ADC and BVf were augmented in the contralateral hippocampus, a region characterized by electroencephalographic seizure spreading, discrete histological neurovascular cell modifications, and no tissue sclerosis. We next asked whether combining all the acquired MRI parameters could deliver criteria to classify the epileptogenic from the seizure-spreading and sham hippocampi in these experimental conditions and over time. To differentiate sham from epileptogenic areas, the automatic multi-parametric classification provided a maximum accuracy of 97.5% (32 regions) 48-72 hours post-KA and of 100% (60 regions) at spontaneous seizures stage. To differentiate sham, epileptogenic, and seizure-spreading areas, the accuracies of the automatic classification were 93.1% (42 regions) 48-72 hours post-KA and 95% (80 regions) at spontaneous seizure stage. SIGNIFICANCE Combining multi-parametric MRI acquisition and machine-learning analyses delivers specific imaging identifiers to segregate the epileptogenic from the contralateral seizure-spreading hippocampi in experimental MTLE. The potential clinical value of our findings is critically discussed.

Abstract
Impaired cerebrovascular function is an early biomarker for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), a neurovascular disease characterized by amyloid-β accumulation in the cerebral vasculature, leading to stroke and dementia. The transgenic Swedish Dutch Iowa (Tg-SwDI) mouse model develops cerebral microvascular amyloid-β deposits, but whether this leads to similar functional impairments is incompletely understood. We assessed cerebrovascular function longitudinally in Tg-SwDI mice with arterial spin labeling (ASL)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) over the course of amyloid-β deposition. Unexpectedly, Tg-SwDI mice showed similar baseline perfusion and cerebrovascular reactivity estimates as age-matched wild-type control mice, irrespective of modality (ASL or LDF) or anesthesia (isoflurane or urethane and α-chloralose). Hemodynamic changes were, however, observed as an effect of age and anesthesia. Our findings contradict earlier results obtained in the same model and question to what extent microvascular amyloidosis as seen in Tg-SwDI mice is representative of cerebrovascular dysfunction observed in CAA patients.
