Spared and impaired olfactory abilities after thalamic lesions.

28 Sep 2009 Olfactory information reaches olfactory cortex without a thalamic relay. This neuroanatomical substrate has combined with functional findings to suggest that, in olfaction, the typical thalamic role in sensory processing has shifted to the olfactory ... Read more...

18F-FDG PET/CT identifies patients at risk for future vascular events in an otherwise asymptomatic cohort with neoplastic disease.

14 Sep 2009 Our objective was to evaluate the association of arterial (18)F-FDG uptake and calcifications in large arteries as detected by (18)F-FDG PET/CT with the subsequent occurrence of vascular events in otherwise asymptomatic cancer patients. METHODS: ... Read more...

Retinal microvascular signs and cognitive impairment.

6 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between retinal microvascular signs, as a proxy for cerebral microvascular disease, and cognitive impairment. DESIGN: Cross-sectional population-based study. SETTING: Urban population survey PARTICIPANTS: One ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Cerebrovascular Disorders'

Definition: A spectrum of pathological conditions of impaired blood flow in the brain. They can involve vessels (ARTERIES; or VEINS) in the CEREBRUM, the CEREBELLUM, and the BRAIN STEM. Major categories include INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS; BRAIN ISCHEMIA; CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE; and others.
