Evolution of cortical activation during recovery from corticospinal tract infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recovery from hemiparesis due to corticospinal tract infarction is well documented, but the mechanism of recovery is unknown. Functional MRI (fMRI) provides a means of identifying focal brain activity related to movement of a paretic hand. Although prior studies have suggested that supplementary motor regions in the ipsilesional and contralesional hemisphere play a role i...
متن کاملSimulation of Corticospinal Tract Displacement in Patients with Brain Tumors
The spatial relationship between the corticospinal tracts and a brain tumor is important for planning the surgical strategy. Although the white matter tracts can be manually outlined from structural MRI this is time consuming and impractical. To enhance the spatial understanding of the distorted pathology we have established a method to retrieve this structural information automatically by regi...
متن کاملEpilepsy due to a cortical malformation in a Neurofibromatosis type 1 patient
Neurofibromatosis 1, an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder characterized by café-au-lait macules, Lisch nodules, neurofibromas, and learning disabilities, affects approximately 1 in 3000 people. Unlike other neurocutaneous disorders such as tuberous sclerosis, epilepsy is not a common clinical feature, occurring in 3.8–7% of NF1 patients. Rarely, case reports have described patients wit...
متن کاملLarge-scale cortical displacement of a human retinotopic map.
The aim of the current study was to determine the retinotopic organization of a patient with congenital cortical dysgenesis and normal visual function. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), detailed retinotopic maps corresponding to the four visual field quadrants were projected onto cortical surfaces. Similar to control subjects, the upper right visual field mapped onto ventral l...
متن کاملTeaching NeuroImage: corticospinal tract.
A 60-year-old man presented with progressive weakness for 2 years that began in the right arm and subsequently spread to all limbs. On examination, he had both upper and lower motor neuron signs including spasticity, hyperreflexia, and fasciculations in addition to asymmetric weakness. The sensory examination was normal. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). MRI showed bila...
