INTRODUCTION The basal ganglia are interconnected with cortical areas involved in behavioural, cognitive and emotional processes, in addition to movement regulation. Little is known about which of these functions are associated with individual basal ganglia substructures. METHODS Pubmed was searched for literature related to behavioural, cognitive and emotional symptoms associated with focal ...

abstract background: high resolution ct scan has made early diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) easier. posttraumatic intraventricular hemorrhage has been reported to a greater extent because of the ct scan. methods: 904 patients were admitted in the nsicu from march 2001 to march 2002 with severe closed head injury, of those only 31 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (gcs les...

introduction: behcet's disease is a chronic disease with multisystem involvement characterized clinically by oral and genital aphthae, cutaneous lesions and ophthalmologic, neurologic and gastrointestinal manifestation. nervous system involvement occurs in 5.3 – 30% of patients, mostly in brain stem and basal ganglia. the common manifestations are pyramidal signs, central nervous plegia, p...

bstract—Hemiballism (HB) is a quite rare disorder, generally econdary to stroke, neoplasms or demyelinating plaques, lassically considered as almost pathognomonic of a lesion in he subthalamic nucleus (STN). This alteration causes involunary movements in the chorea–ballism spectrum. One theory is hat the output nuclei of the basal ganglia are overinhibited in B, while little is known about the ...

conclusion statistical analysis of susceptibilities of ms patients versus healthy subjects found no excess deposition of calcium content in deep gray matter of ms patients. calcification may not be considered as a biomarker of prognosis in ms. results magnetic susceptibility(x) of calcium content was assessed by number of pixels induced by gp and put in ms patients as well as healthy subjects. ...

UNLABELLED The possible relation between stuttering and the basal ganglia is discussed. Important clues to the pathophysiology of stuttering are given by conditions known to alleviate dysfluency, like the rhythm effect, chorus speech, and singing. Information regarding pharmacologic trials, lesion studies, brain imaging, genetics, and developmental changes of the nervous system is reviewed. The...
