Increased motor cortex white matter volume predicts motor impairment in autism.
Careful consideration of motor impairments, such as those documented in autism, can afford valuable insights into the neurological basis of developmental disorders. Motor signs are highly quantifiable and reproducible and can serve as markers for deficits in parallel systems important for socialization and communication. Correlations of motor signs with anatomic MRI (aMRI) measures therefore of...
متن کاملResting State Interhemispheric Motor Connectivity and White Matter Integrity Correlate with Motor Impairment in Chronic Stroke
Functional and structural reorganization in the brain occurs after stroke. The ability to predict motor outcomes may depend on patterns of brain functional and structural connectivity. We tested the hypothesis that alterations in motor transcallosal and corticospinal connections correlate with motor impairment in patients with chronic stroke. Eleven ischemic stroke patients underwent the Upper ...
متن کاملWhite matter volume predicts reaction time instability.
Information processing speed is a central concept in cognitive psychology and neuropsychology. Previous studies have mostly focused on mean reaction time (RT), and largely ignored intra-individual differences (the standard deviation of the RT: sdRT). Still, intra-individual inconsistency across trials has been shown to correlate with age, neurological disorders, intelligence, and performance on...
متن کاملCortico-subthalamic white matter tract strength predicts interindividual efficacy in stopping a motor response
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a small but vitally important structure in the basal ganglia. Because of its small volume, and its localization in the basal ganglia, the STN can best be visualized using ultra-high resolution 7 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the present study, first we individually segmented 7 T MRI STN masks to generate atlas probability maps. Secondly, the ind...
متن کاملNeonatal diffusion tensor brain imaging predicts later motor outcome in preterm neonates with white matter abnormalities
BACKGROUND White matter (WM) abnormalities associated with prematurity are one of the most important causes of neurological disability that involves spastic motor deficits in preterm newborns. This study aimed to evaluate regional microstructural changes in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) associated with WM abnormalities. METHODS We prospectively studied extremely low birth weight (ELBW; <1000...
