Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Structural Connectivity, and Schizophrenia
A fundamental tenet of the "disconnectivity" theories of schizophrenia is that the disorder is ultimately caused by abnormal communication between spatially disparate brain structures. Given that the white matter fasciculi represent the primary infrastructure for long distance communication in the brain, abnormalities in these fiber bundles have been implicated in the etiology of schizophrenia....
متن کاملCreativity and positive symptoms in schizophrenia revisited: Structural connectivity analysis with diffusion tensor imaging.
Both creativity and schizotypy are suggested to be manifestations of the hyperactivation of unusual or remote concepts/words. However, the results of studies on creativity in schizophrenia are diverse, possibly due to the multifaceted aspects of creativity and difficulties of differentiating adaptive creativity from pathological schizotypy/positive symptoms. To date, there have been no detailed...
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Imaging to Study Brain Connectivity
Introduction MRI has been a powerful tool to map anatomy and function of human brains. To assign functions of the cortex, fMRI has been playing important roles. Classically, anatomy – function correlation studies had relied on postmortem examination of patients with localized lesions. Now we have a tool to non-invasively investigate functional centers of the brain. Compared to the cortical mapp...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging: Structural adaptive smoothing
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) data is characterized by a high noise level. Thus, estimation errors of quantities like anisotropy indices or the main diffusion direction used for fiber tracking are relatively large and may significantly confound the accuracy of DTI in clinical or neuroscience applications. Besides pulse sequence optimization, noise reduction by smoothing the data can be pursued...
متن کاملCNTNAP2 polymorphisms and structural brain connectivity: a diffusion-tensor imaging study.
CNTNAP2 is a gene on chromosome 7 that has shown associations with autism and schizophrenia, and there is evidence that it plays an important role for neuronal synchronization and brain connectivity. In this study, we assessed the relationship between Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), a putative marker of anatomical brain connectivity, and multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spread ou...
