A Hierarchical Algorithm for MR Brain Image Parcellation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
We introduce an algorithm for segmenting brain magnetic resonance (MR) images into anatomical compartments such as the major tissue classes and neuro-anatomical structures of the gray matter. The algorithm is guided by ...
Dissociable contributions of MRI volume reductions of superior temporal and fusiform gyri to symptoms and neuropsychology in schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2007)
We sought to identify the functional correlates of reduced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumes of the superior temporal gyrus (STG) and the fusiform gyrus (FG) in patients with chronic schizophrenia. MRI volumes, ...
Reduction of Caudate Nucleus Volumes in Neuroleptic-Naïve Female Subjects with Schizotypal Personality Disorder
(Elsevier BV, 2006)
Background: The caudate nucleus might contribute to the psychopathological and cognitive deficits observed in schizotypal personality disorder (SPD), a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Here we focused on female patients, ...
Fornix Integrity and Hippocampal Volume in Male Schizophrenic Patients
(Elsevier BV, 2006)
Background: The hippocampus has been shown to be abnormal in schizophrenia. The fornix is one of the main fiber tracts connecting the hippocampus with other brain regions. Few studies have evaluated the fornix in schizophrenia, ...
A MRI study of fusiform gyrus in schizotypal personality disorder
(Elsevier BV, 2003)
The fusiform gyrus is important for face and object recognition, is abnormal in schizophrenia, but has not been studied in schizotypal personality disorder (SPD). Thin-slice MR images showed no differences, either in right, ...
Cingulate fasciculus integrity disruption in schizophrenia: a magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging study
(Elsevier BV, 2003)
Background: Evidence suggests that a disruption in limbic system network integrity and, in particular, the cingulate gyrus (CG), may play a role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia; however, the cingulum bundle (CB), ...
Auditory processing abnormalities in schizotypal personality disorder: An fMRI experiment using tones of deviant pitch and duration
(Elsevier BV, 2008)
Background: One of the cardinal features of schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) is language abnormalities. The focus of this study was to determine whether or not there are also processing abnormalities of pure tones ...
Shape abnormalities of caudate nucleus in schizotypal personality disorder
(Elsevier BV, 2009)
Background: Previously, we reported abnormal volume and global shape in the caudate nucleus in schizotypal personality disorder (SPD). Here, we use a new shape measure which importantly permits local in addition to global ...
A review of MRI findings in schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2001)
After more than 100 years of research, the neuropathology of schizophrenia remains unknown and this is despite the fact that both Kraepelin (1919/1971: Kraepelin,E., 1919/1971. Dementia praecox. Churchill Livingston Inc., ...
An MRI study of spatial probability brain map differences between first-episode schizophrenia and normal controls
(Elsevier BV, 2004)
We created a spatial probability atlas of schizophrenia to provide information about the neuroanatomic variability of brain regions of patients with the disorder. Probability maps of 16 regions of interest (ROIs) were ...
