Brain atrophy and alcoholism.
Alcoholism has no satisfactory definition, yet no more useful term is available to describe chronic and deleterious over-consumption. Alcohol is mostly drunk for its pharmacological effects on the nervous system, so not surprisingly the brain is one of the organs that suffers most-along with the liver, which detoxifies the alcohol. The effects on the nervous system include direct intoxication, ...
متن کاملStress and brain atrophy.
Studies in animals showed that stress is associated with changes in hippocampal function and structure, an effect mediated through decreased neurogenesis, increased glucocorticoids, and/or decreased brain derived neurotrophic factor. Antidepressants and some anticonvulsants block the effects of stress and/or promote neurogenesis in animal studies. Patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PT...
متن کامل[Quantitative estimation of brain atrophy and function with PET and MRI two-dimensional projection images].
PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to estimate the extent of atrophy and the decline in brain function objectively and quantitatively. METHODS Two-dimensional (2D) projection images of three-dimensional (3D) transaxial images of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were made by means of the Mollweide method which keeps the area of the brain surface. A corr...
متن کاملCerebral atrophy in myotonic dystrophy: a voxel based morphometric study.
Brain involvement in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is characterised by cortical atrophy and white matter lesions. We compared the magnetic resonance imaging derived grey matter maps of 22 DM1 patients with those of matched, healthy controls using voxel based morphometry to evaluate the extension of global and regional cortical atrophy in DM1, as well as its relationships with clinical and gen...
متن کاملStructural Neuroimaging: Brain Atrophy
Neuroimaging in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has moved beyond the stage where it was used purely to exclude other disease processes. Structural brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful to assess hippocampal atrophy on coronal slices; clinicians can use a simple visual rating scale, which can help to confirm the diagnosis of AD. Another useful indication for neuroimaging is to assess the con...
