7th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (hbm) Regionally Constrained Voxel-based Network of Left Hippocampus in Left Medial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

چکیده
Network representation can reveal the topological dysfunctions of brain function [1]. Recently brain network construction of whole brain voxels has been introduced using the epsilon neighbor method [2, 3]. However, this method has a difficulty in regional network interpretation. Thus we propose the voxel-based network construction on gray matter of FDG-PET image via the epsilon neighbor method with regional constraint using anatomical information. It was applied to left medial temporal lobe epilepsy (LMTLE) patients, showing abnormal metabolic connectivity compared to healthy controls.

Alterations in Hippocampal Functional Connectivity in patients with Mesial Temporal Sclerosis
Introduction: Medial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is a form of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE). It is typically characterized by structural alterations in hippocampus (HC) and related mesial temporal lobe (MTL) network. Resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) is considered an ideal technique in quantifying the dysfunction and maladaptation in MTL network. It is well- dem...
متن کاملLarge‐scale brain networks are distinctly affected in right and left mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) with hippocampus sclerosis (HS) is associated with functional and structural alterations extending beyond the temporal regions and abnormal pattern of brain resting state networks (RSNs) connectivity. We hypothesized that the interaction of large-scale RSNs is differently affected in patients with right- and left-MTLE with HS compared to controls. We aimed t...
متن کاملShared space, separate processes: Neural activation patterns for auditory description and visual object naming in healthy adults.
Historically, both clinicians and cognitive scientists have used visual object naming measures to study naming, and lesion-type studies have implicated the left posterior, temporo-parietal region as a critical component of naming circuitry. However, recent results from behavioral and cortical stimulation studies using auditory description naming as well as visual object naming in left temporal ...
متن کاملEffect of handedness on fMRI activation in the medial temporal lobe during an auditory verbal memory task.
Several studies have shown marked differences in the neural localization of language functions in the brains of left-handed individuals when compared with right-handers. Previous experiments involving functional lateralization have demonstrated cerebral blood flow patterns that differ concordantly with subject handedness while performing language-related tasks. The effect of handedness on funct...
متن کاملP163: Prevalence of Depression and Anxiety in Epileptic Patients
Anxiety and depression are very common in population and occur in a wide range of clinical states and is very common in epileptic patients. Many recent epidemiological studies have found a high prevalence of depression and anxiety in epileptic patients. These studies found that epileptic patients suffered from depression and anxiety than those without epilepsy. The prevalence of depression or a...
