Aim: We aimed to determine the difference between cerebral perfusion and cortical thickness first attack recurrent in major depression patients.
 Material Method: Our study was conducted prospectively 01.03.2017-03.03.2018 Izzet Baysal University Psychiatry department. 40 patients (21 episodes 19 episodes) diagnosed with according DSM 5 by American Psychiatric Association a control group o...

Forty-two neurons that responded to electrical stimulation of at least one of four nerves, the chorda tympani (CT), the lingual-tonsillar branch of the glossopharyngeal (LT-IXth) nerve, the pharyngeal branch of the glossopharyngeal (PH-IXth) nerve and the superior laryngeal (SL) nerve, were identified from the insular cortex by using glass microelectrodes in paralysed and anesthetized rats. Fou...

Unilateral taste loss is usually observed on the side contralateral to a thalamic infarction, despite gustatory function being represented bilaterally. We report a rare case of bilateral taste loss in a patient with an acute left unilateral thalamic infarction, with unilateral left insular hypometabolism demonstrated by statistical parametric map analysis of PET images. Our observations suggest...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Detection rates of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute ischemic stroke increase with duration of ECG monitoring. To date, it is unknown which patient group may benefit most from intensive monitoring strategies. Therefore, we aimed to identify predictors of previously unknown AF during in-hospital ECG monitoring. METHODS All consecutive patients with imaging-...

The claustrum has been described in the forebrain of all mammals studied so far. It has been suggested that the claustrum plays a role in the integration of multisensory information: however, its detailed structure and function remain enigmatic. The human claustrum is a thin, irregular, sheet of grey matter located between the inner surface of the insular cortex and the outer surface of the put...

[3H]Thymidine autoradiography was used to investigate neurogenesis of the lateral limbic cortex and morphogenesis of the medial and lateral limbic cortices in adult and embryonic rat brains. Ontogenetic patterns in the limbic cortex are unique because some neurogenetic gradients are linked to those in neocortex, others are linked to those in paleocortex. These findings are related to hypotheses...

Introduction The pathway of a pain impulse starts with the primary afferent nerve fibers (C and Aδ) whose axons end in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Nociceptive information is passed to the contralateral side of the spinal cord and, after synapsing, ascends in the anterolateral system as spinothalamic tracts. The primary areas of the brain that respond to pain stimuli are the somatosensor...

Individuals are willing to sacrifice their own resources to promote equality in groups. These costly choices promote equality and are associated with behavior that supports cooperation in humans, but little is known about the brain processes involved. We use functional MRI to study egalitarian preferences based on behavior observed in the "random income game." In this game, subjects decide whet...

BACKGROUND To evaluate whether topographical characteristics of insular involvement in ischemic stroke are associated with cardioembolism. METHODS AND FINDINGS A consecutive series of patients hospitalized for ischemic stroke within 7 days of symptom onset were identified. Based on diffusion-weighted imaging, we included those who had ischemic lesions in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) terri...
