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...

Cortical deactivation induced by subcortical network dysfunction in limbic seizures.

12 Oct 2009 Normal human consciousness may be impaired by two possible routes: direct reduced function in widespread cortical regions or indirect disruption of subcortical activating systems. The route through which temporal lobe limbic seizures impair ... Read more...

Regional changes in word-production laterality after a naming treatment designed to produce a rightward shift in frontal activity.

4 Oct 2009 Five nonfluent aphasia patients participated in a picture-naming treatment that used an intention manipulation (opening a box and pressing a button on a device in the box with the left hand) to initiate naming trials and was designed to ... Read more...

Definition: The thin layer of gray matter on the surface of the cerebral hemisphere that develops from the telencephalon and folds into gyri. It reaches its highest development in man and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.
