The parahippocampal gyrus as a multimodal association area in psychosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Temporal lobe lesions may lead to schizophrenia-like psychosis, a phenomenon resembling psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. We discuss a patient with a temporo-basal low-grade glioma presenting with bimodal hallucinosis (visual and auditory), a symptom set that is rarely described in psychotic disorders associated with morphological correlates. In light of a literature review of patients experiencing similar bimodal psychotic symptoms and electrophysiological data obtained in non-human primates, we suggest the parahippocampal gyrus to be a multimodal association area with bimodal units.

Parcellation of cortical afferents to three distinct sectors in the parahippocampal gyrus of the rhesus monkey: an anatomical and neurophysiological study.
The posterior parahippocampal gyrus (PHG) of the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) is comprised of three distinct cortical areas based on cytoarchitecture, connectivity, and neurophysiological response properties. Fluorescent retrograde tracers placed in each PHG area demonstrated unique patterns of cortical afferent input to areas TH, TL, and TF. Area TF receives inputs from the multimodal cortic...
متن کاملO7: Limbic System and its Disorders (Focus on Emotions Including Anxiety)
The cerebral cortex can be functionally subdivided into primary sensory-motor, unimodal association, heteromodal association, paralimbic and limbic regions. Broca was the first who described limbic lobe in 1874, as a ring of gray matter, lying between the diencephalon and more lateral neocortex on the medial surface of the hemisphers. It locates outside of the corpus callosum and consists of su...
متن کاملCortical Thinning in Temporo-Parietal Junction (TPJ) in Non-Affective First-Episode of Psychosis Patients with Persistent Negative Symptoms
BACKGROUND Negative symptoms represent an unmet therapeutic need in many patients with schizophrenia. In an extension to our previous voxel-based morphometry findings, we employed a more specific, vertex-based approach to explore cortical thinning in relation to persistent negative symptoms (PNS) in non-affective first-episode of psychosis (FEP) patients to advance our understanding of the path...
متن کاملCavum septi pellucidi in first-episode schizophrenia and first-episode affective psychosis: an MRI study.
A high prevalence of abnormal cavum septi pellucidi (CSP) in schizophrenia may reflect neurodevelopmental abnormalities in midline structures of the brain. The relationship, however, between abnormal CSP and clinical symptoms, and with abnormalities in other limbic structures remains unclear, as does the question of whether a similar abnormality is present in affective psychosis. Seventy-four p...
متن کاملChanges in brain activity of somatoform disorder patients during emotional empathy after multimodal psychodynamic psychotherapy
Somatoform disorder patients show a variety of emotional disturbances including impaired emotion recognition and increased empathic distress. In a previous paper, our group showed that several brain regions involved in emotional processing, such as the parahippocampal gyrus and other regions, were less activated in pre-treatment somatoform disorder patients (compared to healthy controls) during...
