Altered corticostriatal functional connectivity in obsessive-compulsive disorder.
30 Oct 2009 
CONTEXT: Neurobiological models of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) emphasize disturbances in the function and connectivity of brain corticostriatal networks, or "loops." Although neuroimaging studies of patients have supported this network model ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: The dopamine transporter plays a key role in the regulation of central dopaminergic transmission, which modulates cognitive processing. Disrupted dopamine function and impaired executive processing are robust features of schizophrenia. ... Read more...
Apathy is not associated with basal ganglia atrophy in frontotemporal dementia.
30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether basal ganglia atrophy, known to be associated with apathy in nondementia populations, was associated with presence of apathy in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). METHODS: A cross-sectional case study was ... Read more...
