White Matter Atrophy and Cognitive Dysfunctions in Neuromyelitis Optica
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory disease of central nervous system characterized by optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive acute transverse myelitis. NMO patients have cognitive dysfunctions but other clinical symptoms of brain origin are rare. In the present study, we aimed to investigate cognitive functions and brain volume in NMO. The study population consisted of 28 patien...
متن کاملWhite matter hyperintensities, cortisol levels, brain atrophy and continuing cognitive deficits in late-life depression.
BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular changes and glucocorticoid mediated hippocampal atrophy are considered relevant for depression-related cognitive deficits, forming putative treatment targets. AIMS This study examined the relative contribution of cortisol levels, brain atrophy and white matter hyperintensities to the persistence of cognitive deficits in older adults with depression. METHOD Thirty-...
متن کاملNeuroimaging predictors of cognitive impairment in confluent white matter lesion: volumetric analyses of 99 brain regions.
BACKGROUND Although confluent white matter lesion (WML) is associated with cognitive impairment, the mechanism explaining this association is controversial. We aimed to investigate comprehensively the MRI predictors of cognitive impairment in confluent WML. METHODS Among 45 lacunar stroke patients who had confluent WML, we evaluated the association of executive function [Mattis Dementia Ratin...
متن کاملWhite matter atrophy and lesion formation explain the loss of structural integrity of white matter in aging
The importance of macrostructural white matter changes, including white matter lesions and atrophy, in intact brain functioning is increasingly being recognized. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) enables measurement of the microstructural integrity of white matter. Loss of white matter integrity in aging has been reported, but whether this is inherent to the aging process itself or results from sp...
متن کاملCognitive and psychopathology correlates of brain white/grey matter structure in severely psychotic schizophrenic inpatients
The brain structural correlates of cognitive and psychopathological symptoms within the active phase in severely psychotic schizophrenic inpatients have been rarely investigated. Twenty-eight inpatients with a DSM-5 diagnosis of Schizophrenia (SZ), admitted for acute psychotic decompensation, were assessed through a comprehensive neuropsychological and psychopathological battery. All patients u...
