Nov. 25, 2003 — The rate of medial temporal lobe (MTL) atrophy on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is associated with cognitive decline, according to the results of a six-year longitudinal study ...

The areas most affected by atrophy are the hippocampus, where the cells start declining and shrink (plays role in memory); the front lobe (judgement and everyday decision making); and temporal lobe ...

December 20, 2011 — The same brain regions that undergo atrophy in Alzheimer's disease are also seen in cognitive decline related to Parkinson's disease (PD), a new study shows. Atrophy in the ...

A new Northwestern University study using patient nervous tissue and lab-grown human neurons has uncovered how a key disease ...

Although sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been associated with amyloid deposition and an increase in the risk of dementia, the mechanism behind this occurrence has remained unclear. Study: ...

The need for early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease is gathering importance with the prospect of disease-modifying therapy. Medial temporal lobe atrophy on MRI is a characteristic, early and predictive ...

A study led by the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) has succeeded in describing, for the first time in detail, the structural evolution of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) regions across the ...

In addition to motor symptoms, Parkinson disease (PD) can also result in nonmotor symptoms like cognitive impairment and eventual dementia. Researchers have identified brain structure changes ...

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have shown that a fully automated procedure called Volumetric MRI – which measures the "memory centers" of the brain and ...
