Connectivity-based segmentation of human amygdala nuclei using probabilistic tractography
The amygdala plays an important role in emotional and social functions, and amygdala dysfunction has been associated with multiple neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism, anxiety, and depression. Although the amygdala is composed of multiple anatomically and functionally distinct nuclei, typical structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences are unable to discern them. Thus, functi...
متن کاملProbabilistic Connectivity in Fibre Tractography
INTRODUCTION: During the past decade there has been an increased interest in developing fibre tractography algorithms for the analysis of fibre pathways in the brain. Many approaches have been proposed to model the diffusion signal and to obtain reliable connectivity patterns. Nonetheless, the question of defining probabilistic connectivity indices which capture all the relevant information in ...
متن کاملEvaluation of striatonigral connectivity using probabilistic tractography in Parkinson's disease
The cardinal movement abnormalities of Parkinson's disease (PD), including tremor, muscle rigidity, and reduced speed and frequency of movements, are caused by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra that project to the putamen, compromising information flow through frontal-subcortical circuits. Typically, the nigrostriatal pathway is more severely affected on the side of t...
متن کاملDeep and superficial amygdala nuclei projections revealed in vivo by probabilistic tractography.
Despite a homogenous macroscopic appearance on magnetic resonance images, subregions of the amygdala express distinct functional profiles as well as corresponding differences in connectivity. In particular, histological analysis shows stronger connections for superficial (i.e., centromedial and cortical), compared with deep (i.e., basolateral and other), amygdala nuclei to lateral orbitofrontal...
