Brain images were acquired on a 3T Philips Achieva MR Scanner (Philips Medical Systems, Best, The Netherlands) with a 32-channel head coil. Whole-brain high-resolution three-dimensional T1-weighted anatomical reference images were acquired using an MP-RAGE sequence (sagittal plane, FOV = 240 × 240 × 170 mm; 1 mm3 isotropic voxels). Functional images were acquired using whole-head gradient-echo-planar imaging and single-shot gradient echo (38 interleaved slices, TR = 2 s, TE = 30 ms, FOV = 252 × 252 × 133 mm, flip angle = 90°, in-plane resolution = 80 × 80, no skip).
We applied standard preprocessing procedures using Statistical Parametric Mapping 12 (SPM 12; Welcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience). This included segmentation and spatial normalization into MNI space for structural images and slice time correction, realignment and unwarp, coregistration with structural data, spatial normalization into MNI space, resampled voxel size of 2 mm3, and smoothing with an 8 mm Gaussian kernel for functional images.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Structural and perfusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging scans were obtained using a 3.0 Tesla Philips Achieva MR scanner (Philips Medical System, Netherlands) equipped with a 32-channel head coil. High-resolution T1-weighted images and arterial spin labeling (ASL) images were acquired using a three-dimensional T1-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo imaging sequence and a pseudocontinuous ASL single-shot echo-planar imaging sequence, respectively.
Absolute CBF (ml/100 g/min) and GM volumes were measured as neural correlates of FKBP5-associated miRNA expression in relation to PTSD in predefined ROIs, mainly including the prefrontolimbic regions. The prefrontal regions included the medial prefrontal cortex, paracingulate cortex, and subcallosal cortex, and the limbic regions included the amygdala, hippocampus, and nucleus accumbens.
Details regarding the image acquisition, preprocessing, selection of the prefrontolimbic ROIs, and measurements of CBF and GM volumes of the a priori defined ROIs are described in Supplementary Methods.

The MRI data were acquired via a 3.0T Philips Achieva MR scanner (Philips Medical Systems, Best, Netherlands) with a 32-channel head coil. Tight but comfortable foam padding and earplugs were applied to minimize head motion and to reduce scanner noise.

Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Energy Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Skeletal muscle mitochondrial energy production was measured using a previously described MRI method.11 In vivo spectra of phosphorous‐containing metabolites were acquired using a 3T Philips Achieva MR scanner (Philips) and a 10‐cm 31P‐tuned surface coil (PulseTeq) fastened over the left thigh vastus lateralis muscle. Participants performed a rapid ballistic knee extension exercise while lying supine in the bore of the magnet; this maneuver was practiced before entering the magnet.11, 12 A series of pulse‐acquire 31P spectra were obtained before, during, and after the knee extension exercise. The pulse sequence consisted of adiabatic radiofrequency excitation pulses with a 90‐degree flip angle, for 300 acquisitions, with a repetition time of 1.5 seconds; signal averaging over 4 successive acquisitions for signal‐to‐noise ratio enhancement, gave effectively 75 spectra obtained with a temporal resolution of 6 seconds. The length of exercise was monitored to achieve between a 33% to 66% reduction in phosphocreatine (PCr) peak height (and never exceeded 42 seconds), with a post‐exercise recovery period of 5.8 to 6.3 minutes. Spectra were processed using jMRUI (version 5.0), and metabolites were quantified using a nonlinear least‐squares algorithm (AMARES).13, 14

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
