Correlations Between Brain Structure and Symptom Dimensions of Psychosis in Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, and Psychotic Bipolar I Disorders
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014)Introduction: Structural alterations may correlate with symptom severity in psychotic disorders, but the existing literature on this issue is heterogeneous. In addition, it is not known how cortical thickness and cortical ... -
Correlations Between Histopathologic Changes and Clinical Features in Pterygia
(Medknow Publications & Media Pvt Ltd, 2016)Purpose: To investigate the correlations between clinical findings and histopathologic changes in eyes with pterygium. Methods: This prospective study included 70 eyes with primary pterygia undergoing surgical excision. ... -
Correlations between psychological tests and physiological responses during fear conditioning and renewal
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: Anxiety disorders are characterized by specific emotions, thoughts and physiological responses. Little is known, however, about the relationship between psychological/personality indices of anxiety responses ... -
Correlations of Salivary Biomarkers with Clinical Assessments in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Rationale: Monitoring clinical disease status in cystic fibrosis frequently requires invasive collection of clinical samples. Due to its noninvasive collection process and direct anatomic relationship with the lower airway, ... -
Correlative intravital imaging of cGMP signals and vasodilation in mice
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is an important signaling molecule and drug target in the cardiovascular system. It is well known that stimulation of the vascular nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP pathway results in vasodilation. ... -
Correspondence of the Boston Assessment of Traumatic Brain Injury-Lifetime (BAT-L) Clinical Interview and the VA TBI Screen
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2015-01)Objective Mild traumatic brain injury is the signature injury of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), and Operation New Dawn (OND), yet its identification and diagnosis is controversial and ... -
Cortical Activation Elicited by Unrecognized Stimuli
(BioMed Central, 2006)Background: It is unclear whether a stimulus that cannot be recognized consciously, could elicit a well-processed cognitive response. Methods: We used functional imaging to examine the pattern of cortical activation elicited ... -
Cortical Amyloid Beta in Cognitively Normal Elderly Adults is Associated with Decreased Network Efficiency within the Cerebro-Cerebellar System
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)Background: Deposition of cortical amyloid beta (Aβ) is a correlate of aging and a risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD). While several higher order cognitive processes involve functional interactions between cortex and ... -
Cortical arousal in children and adolescents with functional neurological symptoms during the auditory oddball task
(Elsevier, 2016)Objective: Stress, pain, injury, and psychological trauma all induce arousal-mediated changes in brain network organization. The associated, high level of arousal may disrupt motor-sensory processing and result in aberrant ... -
Cortical Folding Patterns and Predicting Cytoarchitecture
(Oxford University Press, 2007)The human cerebral cortex is made up of a mosaic of structural areas, frequently referred to as Brodmann areas (BAs). Despite the widespread use of cortical folding patterns to perform ad hoc estimations of the locations ... -
Cortical hot spots and labyrinths: why cortical neuromodulation for episodic migraine with aura should be personalized
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)Stimulation protocols for medical devices should be rationally designed. For episodic migraine with aura we outline model-based design strategies toward preventive and acute therapies using stereotactic cortical neuromodulation. ... -
Cortical signatures of cognition and their relationship to Alzheimer’s disease
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2012)Recent changes in diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) state that biomarkers can enhance certainty in a diagnosis of AD. In the present study, we combined cognitive function and brain morphology, a potential ... -
Cortical Somatosensory Reorganization in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy: A Multimodal Neuroimaging Study
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)Although cerebral palsy (CP) is among the most common causes of physical disability in early childhood, we know little about the functional and structural changes of this disorder in the developing brain. Here, we investigated ... -
Cortical spreading depression as a target for anti-migraine agents
(Springer, 2013)Spreading depression (SD) is a slowly propagating wave of neuronal and glial depolarization lasting a few minutes, that can develop within the cerebral cortex or other brain areas after electrical, mechanical or chemical ... -
Cortical Spreading Depression Promotes Persistent Mechanical Sensitization of Intracranial Meningeal Afferents: Implications for the Intracranial Mechanosensitivity of Migraine
(Society for Neuroscience, 2016)Abstract Migraine is one of the most common and disabling diseases in the world. A major feature of migraine headache is its aggravation by maneuvers that momentarily increase intracranial pressure. A key hypothesis ... -
Cortical synaptogenesis and excitatory synapse number are determined via a Neuroligin-1-dependent intercellular competition
(2012)Members of the neuroligin (NL) family of cell-adhesion proteins are found at excitatory and inhibitory synapses and are mutated in some familial forms of autism spectrum disorders. Although they display synaptogenic ... -
Cortical thickness, surface area, and folding alterations in male youths with conduct disorder and varying levels of callous–unemotional traits
(Elsevier, 2015)Purpose Previous studies have reported changes in gray matter volume in youths with conduct disorder (CD), although these differences are difficult to interpret as they may have been driven by alterations in cortical ... -
A cortical-spinal prosthesis for targeted limb movement in paralyzed primate avatars
(2014)Motor paralysis is among the most disabling aspects of injury to the central nervous system. Here we develop and test a target-based cortical-spinal neural prosthesis that employs neural activity recorded from pre-motor ... -
Corticocortical feedback increases the spatial extent of normalization
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)Normalization has been proposed as a canonical computation operating across different brain regions, sensory modalities, and species. It provides a good phenomenological description of non-linear response properties in ... -
Corticosteroid Suppression of Lipoxin A\(_4\) and Leukotriene B\(_4\) from Alveolar Macrophages in Severe Asthma
(BioMed Central, 2010)Background: An imbalance in the generation of pro-inflammatory leukotrienes, and counter-regulatory lipoxins is present in severe asthma. We measured leukotriene B\(_4\) (LTB\(_4\)), and lipoxin A\(_4\) (LXA\(_4\)) production ...
