Utilizing scores on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the group found that in addition to bilateral caudate volume differences, total scores had correlations left amygdala volume differences.

By contrast, the injury to the caudate/striatum area, a subcortical region and part of the motor and reward system, becomes more prominent when individuals develop clinical HAND symptoms.

These signs were accompanied by brain atrophy, mainly in the caudate and putamen. A longitudinal increase in the somatic cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) repeat expansion ratio in blood was a ...

Note also that the frontal horns are enlarged - they extend beyond the head of the caudate nucleus and form somewhat of a picture of "mickey mouse" ears. Note also that the sulci are relatively ...

This condition is referred to as T2 hypointensity. Using this approach, they were able to show that structures in the brain's deep gray matter of MS patients contained T2 hypointensity compared with ...

Others are linking stages of atrophy with physical and cognitive symptoms and are developing a "standardized" image of the caudate nucleus in brains of patients that will serve as a model for ...

A new map of brain tissue in people with HIV shows atrophy in several areas including a primary neurocognitive control center where shrinkage and loss of function can be seen in scans before clinical ...
