Analysis of schizophrenia-related genes and electrophysiological measures reveals ZNF804A association with amplitude of P300b elicited by novel sounds
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
Several genes have recently been identified as risk factors for schizophrenia (SZ) by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including ZNF804A which is thought to function in transcriptional regulation. However, the ...
Localized abnormalities in the cingulum bundle in patients with schizophrenia: A Diffusion Tensor tractography study
(Elsevier, 2014)
The cingulum bundle (CB) connects gray matter structures of the limbic system and as such has been implicated in the etiology of schizophrenia. There is growing evidence to suggest that the CB is actually comprised of a ...
Maximum Entropy Estimation of Glutamate and Glutamine in MR Spectroscopic Imaging
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2014)
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is often used to estimate the concentration of several brain metabolites. Abnormalities in these concentrations can indicate specific pathology, which can be quite useful in ...
Cerebral white matter abnormalities and their associations with negative but not positive symptoms of schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2014)
Although diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have reported fractional anisotropy (FA) abnormalities in multiple white matter (WM) regions in schizophrenia, relationship between abnormal FA and negative symptoms has not ...
Molecular Profiles of Parvalbumin-Immunoreactive Neurons in the Superior Temporal Cortex in Schizophrenia
(Informa Healthcare, 2014)
Dysregulation of pyramidal cell network function by the soma- and axon-targeting inhibitory neurons that contain the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV) represents a core pathophysiological feature of schizophrenia. ...
Hockey Concussion Education Project, Part 2. Microstructural white matter alterations in acutely concussed ice hockey players: a longitudinal free-water MRI study
(Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group (JNSPG), 2014)
Object—Concussion is a common injury in ice hockey and a health problem for the general population. Traumatic axonal injury has been associated with concussions (also referred to as mild traumatic brain injuries), yet the ...
Hockey Concussion Education Project, Part 3. White matter microstructure in ice hockey players with a history of concussion: a diffusion tensor imaging study
(Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group (JNSPG), 2014)
Object—The aim of this study was to examine the brain’s white matter microstructure using magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in ice hockey players with a history of clinically symptomatic concussion compared ...
Auditory verbal hallucinations and the interhemispheric auditory pathway in chronic schizophrenia
(Informa UK Limited, 2014)
Objectives—The interhemispheric auditory pathway has been shown to play a crucial role in the processing of acoustic stimuli, and alterations of structural and functional connectivity between bilateral auditory areas are ...
The Sport Concussion Education Project. A brief report on an educational initiative: from concept to curriculum
(Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group (JNSPG), 2014)
Current research on concussion is primarily focused on injury identification and treatment. Prevention initiatives are, however, important for reducing the incidence of brain injury. This report examines the development ...
Molecular Profiles of Pyramidal Neurons in the Superior Temporal Cortex in Schizophrenia
(Informa Healthcare, 2014)
Disrupted synchronized oscillatory firing of pyramidal neuronal networks in the cerebral cortex in the gamma frequency band (i.e., 30–100 Hz) mediates many of the cognitive deficits and symptoms of schizophrenia. In fact, ...
