Praxic functions are frequently altered following brain lesion, giving rise to apraxia - a complex pattern of impairments that has proven difficult to assess or interpret. Here we revisit a study on imitation of meaningless gestures in a patient with disco ...
22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is associated with an increased susceptibility to develop schizophrenia. Despite a large body of literature documenting abnormal brain structure in 22q11DS, cerebral changes associated with brain maturation in 22q11DS re ...
In the mammalian dentate gyrus (DG) neurogenesis continues throughout life. Accumulating evidence suggests a unique contribution of adult-generated neurons in DG synaptic plasticity and hippocampal-mediated learning and memory functions. However, the preci ...
Intensive research over the past few years has provided evidence, that stress is a potent modulator of brain function and cognition. In particular cognitive and emotional processes have been shown to be susceptible to modulation by stress. Whereas acute st ...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is likely to disrupt the synchronization of the bioelectrical processes in the distributed cortical networks underlying cognition. We analyze the surface topography of the multivariate phase synchronization (MPS) of multichannel EE ...
Atypical functional connectivity in the maturing brains of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) may contribute to the expression of early psychotic symptoms commonly reported by these youths. This study's objective was to examine functional connectivity in ...
The hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) is one of the two sites where neurogenesis continues throughout life in the mammalian brain. Accumulating evidence suggests a unique contribution of adult-generated dentate neurons in hippocampal synaptic plasticity and h ...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, and is characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline, as well as amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation, and progressive neurodegeneration. Cdk5 is a proline-directed serine/threonine kinase whose ac ...
Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent cause of cognitive disability in children and adults. It has been reported that defects in neurogenesis occur both during development and adulthood and possibly underlie cognitive dysfunction associated with DS. Rece ...
Since almost two decades, a considerable amount of work has been devoted to the accurate delineation of normal and abnormal brain development, using cerebral MRI. In the broad field of neuroimaging research, specific genetic conditions associated with impa ...
