Clinical characteristics of patients with frontotemporal dementia with and without lobar atrophy on MRI.
INTRODUCTION The presence of frontal and/or temporal atrophy on neuroimaging has been designated as supportive in the clinical consensus criteria for behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). As magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a relatively low sensitivity for bvFTD, a substantial proportion of patients may present with a normal MRI. Thus, there may be clinical differences between...
متن کاملReduced size and abnormal asymmetry of parietal cortex in women with borderline personality disorder.
BACKGROUND Evidence is accumulating that suggests borderline personality disorder (BPD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are related to small hippocampal size. Psychotic symptoms are frequent in both disorders. Psychotic spectrum disorders are known to be related to abnormalities of temporoparietal cortices. METHODS Using structural magnetic resonance imaging (3D-MRI), parietal cortex...
متن کاملChildhood abuse is associated with structural impairment in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and aggressiveness in patients with borderline personality disorder.
Volume reduction and functional impairment in areas of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) have been found in borderline personality disorder (BPD), particularly in patients with a history of childhood abuse. These abnormalities may contribute to the expression of emotion dysregulation and aggressiveness. In this study we investigated whether the volume of the PFC is reduced in BPD patients and whether...
متن کاملStructural abnormalities in the brains of human subjects who use methamphetamine.
We visualize, for the first time, the profile of structural deficits in the human brain associated with chronic methamphetamine (MA) abuse. Studies of human subjects who have used MA chronically have revealed deficits in dopaminergic and serotonergic systems and cerebral metabolic abnormalities. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and new computational brain-mapping techniques, we determined...
متن کاملCognitive functions and white matter tract damage in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a diffusion tensor tractography study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE ALS is predominantly a disease of the motor system, but cognitive and behavioral symptoms also are observed. DT MR imaging is sensitive to microstructural changes occurring in WM tracts of patients with ALS. In this study, we investigated the association between cognitive functions and extramotor WM tract abnormalities in ALS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS DT MR imagin...
