Increased Gray Matter Diffusion Anisotropy in Patients with Persistent Post-Concussive Symptoms following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
A significant percentage of individuals diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) experience persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS). Little is known about the pathology of these symptoms and there is often no ...
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 ...
Sparse Texture Active Contour
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)
In image segmentation, we are often interested in using certain quantities to characterize the object, and perform the classification based on them: mean intensity, gradient magnitude, responses to certain predefined ...
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 ...
Disruption of function–structure coupling in brain regions sub-serving self monitoring in schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
Deficits in self monitoring are a core feature of cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia, and may be the basis for disturbances of self and lack of insight, ultimately impacting social functioning. However, the functional ...
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 ...
Feasibility of studying brain morphology in major depressive disorder with structural magnetic resonance imaging and clinical data from the electronic medical record: A pilot study
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
For certain research questions related to long-term outcomes or to rare disorders, designing
prospective studies is impractical or prohibitively expensive. Such studies could instead utilize clinical and magnetic resonance ...
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 ...
