Interaction between amyloid-β pathology and cortical functional columnar organization.
Amyloid-β plaques are one of the major neuropathological features in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plaques are found in the extracellular space of telencephalic structures, and have been shown to disrupt neuronal connectivity. Since the disruption of connectivity may underlie a number of the symptoms of AD, understanding the distribution of plaques in the neuropil in relation to the connectivity pa...
متن کاملCortical Columnar Organization Is Reconsidered in Inferior Temporal Cortex
The object selectivity of nearby cells in inferior temporal (IT) cortex is often different. To elucidate the relationship between columnar organization in IT cortex and the variability among neurons with respect to object selectivity, we used optical imaging technique to locate columnar regions (activity spots) and systematically compared object selectivity of individual neurons within and acro...
متن کاملCorrelations between cortical and subcortical tau pathology.
AIM Recent studies indicate that tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) does not initially manifest in the cerebral cortex but in selected subcortical nuclei, in particular the locus ceruleus (LC). In this study we correlate both olfactory and brainstem tau pathology with neuritic Braak stages. METHODS We examined 239 unselected autopsy cases (57.3% female, 42.7% male; aged 55-102, mean 82...
متن کاملSudomotor innervation in transthyretin amyloid neuropathy: Pathology and functional correlates
OBJECTIVE Autonomic neuropathy is a major component of familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) due to mutated transthyretin, with sudomotor failure as a common manifestation. This study aimed to investigate the pathology and clinical significance of sudomotor denervation. METHODS Skin biopsies were performed on the distal leg of FAP patients with a follow-up duration of 3.8 ± 1.6 years. Sudomot...
متن کاملFunctional organization of human subgenual cortical areas: Relationship between architectonical segregation and connectional heterogeneity
Human subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sACC) is involved in affective experiences and fear processing. Functional neuroimaging studies view it as a homogeneous cortical entity. However, sACC comprises several distinct cyto- and receptorarchitectonical areas: 25, s24, s32, and the ventral portion of area 33. Thus, we hypothesized that the areas may also be connectionally and functionally dis...
