De novo germline TP53 mutation presenting with synchronous malignancies of the central nervous system.

13 Dec 2009 We present a case of a 14-year-old male with a germline TP53 mutation who presented with synchronous primitive neuroectodermal tumor and choroid plexus carcinoma. Identification of synchronous brain tumors prompted genetic testing for predisposition ... Read more...

Range-adapting representation of economic value in the orbitofrontal cortex.

2 Nov 2009 While making economic choices, individuals assign subjective values to the available options. Values computed in different behavioral conditions, however, can vary substantially. The same person might choose some times between goods worth a few ... Read more...

Two distinct subtypes of right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia.

Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Right temporal frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an anatomic variant of FTD associated with relatively distinct behavioral and cognitive symptoms. We aimed to determine whether right temporal FTD is a homogeneous clinical, imaging, and ... Read more...
