Significance of planum temporale and planum parietale morphologic features in neurofibromatosis type 1.
BACKGROUND Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is associated with learning disabilities and cognitive impairment in childhood and adolescence. Individuals with NF-1 have a propensity for brain hyperintensities on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images, macrocephaly, and optic gliomas. Few clear relationships between these central nervous system abnormalities and cognitive function, however, have bee...
متن کاملPLANUM TEMPORALE AND PLANUM PARIETALE MORPHOLOGY IN CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DYSLEXIA by JULIANA
WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DYSLEXIA by JULIANA SANCHEZ BLOOM (Under the Direction of George W. Hynd) ABSTRACT The planum temporale (PT) is a highly lateralized cortical region located within Wernicke’s area which is thought to be involved in auditory processing, phonological processing, and language. Research has linked abnormal morphology of the PT and its parietal extension, the planum parietale (PP)...
متن کاملPlanum parietale of chimpanzees and orangutans: a comparative resonance of human-like planum temporale asymmetry.
We have previously demonstrated that leftward asymmetry of the planum temporale (PT), a brain language area, was not unique to humans since a similar condition is present in great apes. Here we report on a related area in great apes, the planum parietale (PP). PP in humans has a rightward asymmetry with no correlation to the L>R PT, which indicates functional independence. The roles of the PT i...
متن کاملAbsolute pitch and planum temporale.
An increased leftward asymmetry of the planum temporale (PT) in absolute-pitch (AP) musicians has been previously reported, with speculation that early exposure to music influences the degree of PT asymmetry. To test this hypothesis and to determine whether a larger left PT or a smaller right PT actually accounts for the increased overall PT asymmetry in AP musicians, anatomical magnetic resona...
متن کاملLeft planum temporale volume reduction in schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND The planum temporale, located on the posterior and superior surface of the temporal lobe, is a brain region thought to be a biological substrate of language and possibly implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. To investigate further the role of planum temporale abnormalities in schizophrenia, we measured gray matter volume underlying the planum temporale from high spatial...
