Resting metabolic activity in the cingulate cortex and vulnerability to posttraumatic stress disorder.

29 Sep 2009 CONTEXT: Recent neuroimaging research has revealed functional abnormalities in the anterior cingulate cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). OBJECTIVE: To determine whether resting functional ... Read more...

Markers of Alzheimer's disease in a population attending a memory clinic.

29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: New marker-based criteria for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) were recently proposed. We describe their operational translation in 144 consecutive patients referred to our Memory Clinic. METHODS: Visual ratings of hippocampal ... Read more...

Principal component analysis in mild and moderate Alzheimer's disease--a novel approach to clinical diagnosis.

12 May 2009 Principal component analysis (PCA) provides a method to explore functional brain connectivity. The aim of this study was to identify regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) distribution differences between Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and controls ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hippocampus'

Definition: A curved elevation of gray matter extending the entire length of the floor of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle (Dorland, 28th ed). The hippocampus, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.
