Altered microstructure of white matter except the corpus callosum is independent of prematurity.
BACKGROUND Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) reflects the maturation of the brain microstructure. Although preterm infants are at significant risk for altered brain microstructure, it remains unclear whether this is affected by prematurity itself or other clinical factors. OBJECTIVES To investigate DTI parameters in preterm infants at a term-equivalent age (TEA) compared with healthy term infant...
متن کاملAltered white matter microstructure in the corpus callosum in Huntington's disease: Implications for cortical "disconnection"
The corpus callosum (CC) is the major conduit for information transfer between the cerebral hemispheres and plays an integral role in relaying sensory, motor and cognitive information between homologous cortical regions. The majority of fibers that make up the CC arise from large pyramidal neurons in layers III and V, which project contra-laterally. These neurons degenerate in Huntington's dise...
متن کاملWhite Matter Microstructure Abnormality in Autism Spectrum Disorders : A DTI based Subdivided Corpus Callosum Study
The ASD subjects had greater FA in the Region 4 and 5 than healthy subjects, as showed in Figure B. Region 4 and 5 relate to the motor-related communication areas and somaesthetic area (Table 1). Greater FA reflected the abnormal neural overconnection. The result indicated that the communication between bilateral hemispheres was abnormal in motor, somaesthetic related areas in ASD subjects. Whi...
متن کاملWhite matter fMRI: Exploring functional differentiation in the corpus callosum
Introduction White matter fMRI is a controversial idea. To date, the majority of fMRI studies have focused on gray matter, largely for two reasons: 1) cerebral blood flow/volume is reduced in white matter relative to gray matter (e.g., [1, 2]); and 2) post-synaptic potentials are thought to be the primary source of the signal measured in fMRI (e.g., [3]). Despite this, a growing number of studi...
متن کاملAtypical development of white matter microstructure of the corpus callosum in males with autism: a longitudinal investigation
BACKGROUND The corpus callosum is the largest white matter structure in the brain, and it is the most consistently reported to be atypical in diffusion tensor imaging studies of autism spectrum disorder. In individuals with typical development, the corpus callosum is known to undergo a protracted development from childhood through young adulthood. However, no study has longitudinally examined t...
