Sex differences in the inferior parietal lobule.
The inferior parietal lobule (IPL) - a neocortical region and part of the heteromodal association cortex (HASC) - has been hypothesized to exhibit sexual dimorphism, as do other HASC regions, particularly with regard to asymmetry. Using a reliable method for measuring IPL gray matter volume based upon individual sulcal-gyral landmarks, we measured this region on magnetic resonance imaging scans...
متن کاملSex Differences in Drug Development
The premise of individualized or personalized medicine is that the intervention is tailored to the individual. Individualized therapy will accommodate differences in body size, differences in metabolism and elimination, as well as differences in response. One appropriate starting point for individualized therapy is to focus on sex differences. Men and women differ in critical molecular, genetic...
متن کاملSex differences in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
Possible sex differences in the pattern of interictal hypometabolism were investigated, and also seizure spread in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (n=48) and hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE). Male patients (n=21) more often had a frontal lobe hypometabolism ipsilateral to the seizure onset (p<0.0001) and a spread of epileptiform activity to this region (p=0.001). By contrast, female pat...
متن کاملAtaxia of parietal lobe origin.
Ataxia is the cardinal sign of cerebellar dysfunction and when it occurs, it indicates the possibility of cerebellar lesions. However, this may not always be the correct explanation. Appenzeller and Hanson1 reviewed studies, published between 1916 and 1953, of patients with cerebellar signs attributed to parietal lesions. Extensive lesions within the parietal lobes and sensory changes were comm...
متن کاملHuman Parietal Cortex Structure Predicts Individual Differences in Perceptual Rivalry
When visual input has conflicting interpretations, conscious perception can alternate spontaneously between competing interpretations [1]. There is a large amount of unexplained variability between individuals in the rate of such spontaneous alternations in perception [2-5]. We hypothesized that variability in perceptual rivalry might be reflected in individual differences in brain structure, b...
