Genetic contributions to changes of fiber tracts of ventral visual stream in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)
Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) represent a population at high risk for
developing schizophrenia, as well as learning disabilities. Deficits in visuo-spatial memory are
thought to underlie some of the ...
Decreased axial diffusivity within language connections: A possible biomarker of schizophrenia risk
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
Siblings of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia are at elevated risk for developing this disorder. The nature of such risk associated with brain abnormalities, and whether such abnormalities are similar to those observed ...
Abnormalities of middle longitudinal fascicle and disorganization in patients with schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
Introduction—The Middle Longitudinal Fascicle (MdLF) is a long association fiber connecting the superior temporal gyrus (STG) and temporal pole with the angular gyrus through the white matter of the STG, structures which ...
White matter tract abnormalities between rostral middle frontal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus and striatum in first-episode schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
Background—Previous studies have shown that frontostriatal networks, especially those involving dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) mediate cognitive functions some of which ...
On Describing Human White Matter Anatomy: The White Matter Query Language
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)
The main contribution of this work is the careful syntactical definition of major white matter tracts in the human brain based on a neuroanatomist’s expert knowledge. We present a technique to formally describe white matter ...
Gray matter alterations in early aging: A diffusion magnetic resonance imaging study
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
Many studies have observed altered neurofunctional and structural organization in the aging brain. These observations from functional neuroimaging studies show a shift in brain activity from the posterior to the anterior ...
CNTNAP2 polymorphisms and structural brain connectivity: A diffusion-tensor imaging study
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
CNTNAP2 is a gene on chromosome 7 that has shown associations with autism andschizophrenia, and there is evidence that it plays an important role for neuronal synchronization and brain connectivity. In this study, we ...
Human middle longitudinal fascicle: segregation and behavioral-clinical implications of two distinct fiber connections linking temporal pole and superior temporal gyrus with the angular gyrus or superior parietal lobule using multi-tensor tractography
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)
The middle longitudinal fascicle (MdLF) is a major fiber connection running principally between the superior temporal gyrus and the parietal lobe, neocortical regions of great biological and clinical interest. Although one ...
Extensive white matter abnormalities in patients with first-episode schizophrenia: A diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
Background—Previous voxelwise Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) investigations of white matter in first-episode schizophrenia (FESZ) have been limited to the analysis of Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD), ...
Altered language network activity in young people at familial high-risk for schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
Background—Abnormalities in language and language neural circuitry are observed in
schizophrenia (SZ). Similar, but less pronounced language deficits are also seen in young first degree relatives of people with SZ, who ...
