ABSTRACTParkinson’s disease (PD) is a neuropathological and debilitating disorder involving the degeneration of mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. Neuroprotective effect of hesperetin has already been reported, therefore, this study examined whether the administration of this flavonoid would attenuate behavioral abnormalities in an experimental model of PD in rat. For this purpose, unilateral ...

Although the clinical and neuroanatomical characteristics of behavioral and personality changes have been well-defined in frontotemporal dementia syndromes, relatively little is known about the behavioral and personality changes in frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). Thus, the aim of this study was to longitudinally characterize the behavioral and person...

Fahr's disease (FD) is characterized by sporadic or familiar idiopathic calcification of the basal ganglia, dentate nuclei of the cerebellum, and centrum semiovale, mainly presenting with movement disorder, dementia, and behavioral abnormalities. We described a rare case of Fahr's disease presenting at onset only with behavioral and neuropsychological alterations, whose diagnosis was supposed o...

Capillary hemangiomas, hamartomatous proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, are rare in the central nervous system (CNS). Intracranial capillary hemangiomas presenting with reversible behavioral abnormalities and focal neurological deficits have rarely been reported. We report a case of CNS capillary hemangioma presenting with transient focal neurological deficits and behavioral abnormali...

A relationship between epilepsy and impairment of neuropsychological functioning has been observed in children with epilepsy. Interictal epileptiform discharges on electroencephalograms (EEGs) are regarded as a correlate of persistent pathological neuronal discharges. Paroxysmal abnormalities in the frontal area may be associated with neuropsychological impairments. Investigations of paroxysmal...
