Short reports Serial perfusion brain tomographic scans detect reversible focal ischaemia in Rasmussen’s encephalitis
A 39-year-old man with advanced adultonset Rasmussen’s encephalitis was treated with prednisolone and long-term, high-dose, human intravenous immunoglobulin. A pretreatment, semiquantitative interictal brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan using Tc HMPAO (hexamethylene propylene amine oxime) showed hypoperfusion in the clinically aVected right frontal, parietal...

A 39-year-old man with advanced adult-onset Rasmussen's encephalitis was treated with prednisolone and long-term, high-dose, human intravenous immunoglobulin. A pretreatment, semiquantitative interictal brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan using (99)Tc(m) HMPAO (hexamethylene propylene amine oxime) showed hypoperfusion in the clinically affected right frontal,...
متن کاملNuclear and mitochondrial genome defects in autisms.
In this review we will evaluate evidence that altered gene dosage and structure impacts neurodevelopment and neural connectivity through deleterious effects on synaptic structure and function, and evidence that the latter are key contributors to the risk for autism. We will review information on alterations of structure of mitochondrial DNA and abnormal mitochondrial function in autism and indi...
متن کاملCan brain scans prove criminals unaccountable?
Leonard Berlin reports that neuroscientific data play an increasing role in court. They have been used to argue that criminals are not morally responsible for their behaviour because their brains are 'faulty', and there is evidence that such data lead judges to pass more lenient sentences. I raise two concerns about the view that neuroscience can show criminals not to be morally responsible: Th...
متن کاملA curious consensus: "brain scans prove disease"?
Presumably in recognition of the fact that there is no chemical test that can be used to diagnose any of the alleged mental illnesses, journalists and medical opinion leaders have proclaimed that brain scans--particularly, functional imaging studies--can be used to confirm the presence of psychiatric disease. Although the scientific record contradicts these assertions, the news media have ignor...
