Functional anatomy of essential tremor: lessons from neuroimaging.
The neuropathogenetic processes underlying essential tremor appear to cause subtle morphologic changes in neural networks that include multiple brain structures, primarily the cerebellum, brain stem, frontal lobes, and thalamus. One of the main challenges of neuroimaging in essential tremor is differentiating disease-specific markers from the spectrum of structural changes that occur due to agi...
متن کاملThe anatomy of language: contributions from functional neuroimaging.
This article illustrates how functional neuroimaging can be used to test the validity of neurological and cognitive models of language. Three models of language are described: the 19th Century neurological model which describes both the anatomy and cognitive components of auditory and visual word processing, and 2 20th Century cognitive models that are not constrained by anatomy but emphasise 2...
متن کاملNeuroimaging essentials in essential tremor: A systematic review
BACKGROUND Essential tremor is regarded to be a disease of the central nervous system. Neuroimaging is a rapidly growing field with potential benefits to both diagnostics and research. The exact role of imaging techniques with respect to essential tremor in research and clinical practice is not clear. A systematic review of the different imaging techniques in essential tremor is lacking in the ...
متن کاملAltered Functional Connectivity in Essential Tremor
Essential tremor (ET) has been associated with a spectrum of clinical features, with both motor and nonmotor elements, including cognitive deficits. We employed resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess whether brain networks that might be involved in the pathogenesis of nonmotor manifestations associated with ET are altered, and the relationship between abnormal conn...
متن کاملFunctional neuroimaging studies of depression: the anatomy of melancholia.
Functional brain imaging techniques, which permit noninvasive measures of neurophysiology and neuroreceptor binding, are powerful and sensitive tools for research aimed at elucidating the pathophysiology of major depression. The application of these technologies in depression research has produced several studies of resting cerebral blood flow (BF) and glucose metabolism in subjects imaged duri...
