Metabolic Recovery in Caudate Nucleus
I n 3 children who had undergone cerebral hemispherectomy (hemidecortication) between the ages of 1 year 5 months and 4 years for the alleviation of intractable epilepsy, cerebral glucose utilization was studied serially with positron emission tomography. Three to 7 months after hemispherectomy, glucose utilization i n the caudate nuclei on the side of hemispherectomy had decreased to below pre...
متن کاملPrevalence of serum antibodies to caudate nucleus in autistic children.
Autism may involve autoimmunity to brain. We studied regional distribution of antibodies to rat caudate nucleus, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, brain stem and hippocampus. The study included 30 normal and 68 autistic children. Antibodies were assayed by immunoblotting. Autistic children, but not normal children, had antibodies to caudate nucleus (49% positive sera), cerebral cortex (18% positive ...
متن کاملLine bisection following hemispherectomy.
Two left- and right-hemispherectomized patients with contralateral hemianopia and 20 normal controls were administered a line bisection task. All hemispherectomized patients showed a strong bisection bias towards their blind visual field. This contralateral bias persisted when patients were forced to start scanning within their blind hemifield, supporting the idea of a strategic adaptation of a...
متن کاملPattern electroretinograms after cerebral hemispherectomy.
Cortically blind patients with brain damage restricted to the optic radiations or primary visual cortex may be able to detect and discriminate visual stimuli presented in their field defects, even though they deny seeing them. In contrast, patients who are hemianopic as a result of cerebral hemispherectomy cannot explicitly discriminate visual stimuli in their field defects, even when forced ch...
متن کاملmri based morphometry of caudate nucleus in normal persons
because of continuous changing of anatomy, function and metabolism of the human brain, age- related change is a major risk factor in most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases, including parkinsons and huntingtons disease. therefore, knowing patterns of age-related atrophy of brain tissue can identify causes and possible role of diseases in decreasing brain function with age. the aim of this stu...
