Childhood trauma associated with smaller hippocampal volume in women with major depression.
OBJECTIVE Smaller hippocampal volume has been reported only in some but not all studies of unipolar major depressive disorder. Severe stress early in life has also been associated with smaller hippocampal volume and with persistent changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. However, prior hippocampal morphometric studies in depressed patients have neither reported nor controlled for a ...
متن کاملHippocampal and parahippocampal cortex volume predicts recollection in schizophrenia.
The neural pathology of episodicmemory deficits in schizophrenia is not fully understood, but regions within the medial temporal lobe (MTL)may beparticularly important. The perirhinal cortex (PRC) is critical for assessing item familiarity, the parahippocampal cortex (PHC) for processing context information (i.e., time and space), and the hippocampus (HC) for binding items and contexts to suppo...
متن کاملHippocampal volume predicts fluid intelligence in musically trained people.
Recently, age-related hippocampal (HP) volume loss could be associated with a decrease in general fluid intelligence (gF). In the present study we investigated whether and how extensive musical training modulates human HP volume and gF performance. Previously, some studies demonstrated positive effects of musical training on higher cognitive functions such as learning and memory, associated wit...
متن کاملLongitudinal Evidence for Smaller Hippocampus Volume as a Vulnerability Factor for Perceived Stress
Hippocampal volume has been found to be smaller in individuals with stress-related disorders, but it remains unclear whether smaller volume is a consequence of stress or rather a vulnerability factor. Here, we examined this issue by relating stress levels to hippocampal volumes in healthy participants examined every 5 years in a longitudinal population-based study. Based on scores of 25- to 60-...
متن کاملHippocampal volume predicts antidepressant efficacy in depressed patients without incomplete hippocampal inversion
BACKGROUND Incomplete hippocampal inversion (IHI), also called malrotation, is a frequent atypical anatomical pattern of the hippocampus. Because of the crucial implication of the hippocampus in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of MDD, we aimed to assess the prevalence of IHI in patients with MDD, the link of IHI with hippocampal volume (HV) and the impact o...
