Increased frontal cortical folding in autism: a preliminary MRI study.
The gyrification index (GI), the ratio of total to outer cortical contour, was applied to measure the cerebral folding patterns in autism. GI was examined on a frontal coronal slice obtained from MRI scans of 30 nonmentally retarded individuals with autism and 32 matched healthy controls. In the autistic group, left frontal GI was higher in children and adolescents but not in adults. Cortical f...
متن کاملAssessing the Changes of Cortical Thickness in Alzheimer Disease With MRI Using Freesurfer Software
Introduction: In this study, we intend to determine the correlation between the thickness of the cerebral cortex and the severity of the cognitive disorder in Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods: A total of 20 (14 women and 6 men) patients diagnosed with AD with a Mean age of 72.95 years, and 10 (7 women and 3 men) cognitively normal (CN) subjects with a Mean age of 70.50 years were included in th...
متن کاملA structural MRI study of cortical thickness in depersonalisation disorder.
Depersonalisation disorder (DPD) is characterised by a sense of unreality about the self and the world. Research suggests altered autonomic responsivity and dysfunction in prefrontal and temporal lobe areas in this condition. We report the first structural magnetic resonance imaging study of 20 patients with DPD and 21 controls using the FreeSurfer analysis tool employing both region-of-interes...
متن کاملVoxel-based cortical thickness measurements in MRI
The thickness of the cerebral cortex can provide valuable information about normal and abnormal neuroanatomy. High resolution MRI together with powerful image processing techniques has made it possible to perform these measurements automatically over the whole brain. Here we present a method for automatically generating voxel-based cortical thickness (VBCT) maps. This technique results in maps ...
متن کاملMeasuring Cortical Thickness from Volumetric Mri Data
Cortical thickness is one of the most fundamental measurements for population and longitudinal studies in brain imaging. Therefore, measuring cortical thickness from MRI data is an important topic in computational brain imaging. In this work we present a new approach for measuring cortical thickness that is based on fitting balls into the gray matter mantle of the brain by maximizing the amount...
