Cortical reorganization following anterior temporal lobectomy in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

16 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Functional MRI was used to study the impact of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) on the cortical language network in patients with medically refractory TLE. METHODS: Nineteen patients with medically ... Read more...

Structural brain correlates of verbal fluency in Parkinson's disease.

25 May 2009 Verbal fluency tests are often used to assess cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease. These tests have been found to be impaired even in initial stages of this illness. We applied voxel-based morphometry to investigate the neuroanatomic ... Read more...

Acute bilateral thalamic infarction as a cause of acute dementia and hypophonia after occlusion of the artery of Percheron.

11 May 2009 The thalami of the human brain obtain their blood supply from many perforating arteries, which exhibit complex distribution and many variations. One rare variation is the artery of Percheron that supplies the paramedian thalami bilaterally. This ... Read more...
