Diving deep into Mimas’ ocean: interior structure, evolution, and detection using heat flow Open
Introduction: Mimas is a small moon of Saturn with a heavily cratered surface and high eccentricity, suggesting an inactive past. It was, thus, surprising when Cassini measurements of Mimas’ libration and tracking of its pericenter precess…

Brainstem trigeminal fiber microstructural abnormalities are associated with treatment response across subtypes of trigeminal neuralgia Open
Neurosurgical treatments for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) can provide long-lasting pain relief; however, some patients fail to respond and undergo multiple, repeat procedures. Surgical outcomes can vary depending on the type of TN, but the re…
