Abstract

The utility of perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (PW-MRI) for detecting changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer's disease (AD) was evaluated. Thirteen cognitively normal (CN) elderly subjects, 35 mostly amnestic MCI subjects and 20 subjects with mild probable AD were enrolled. During i.v. injection of gadopentetate dimeglumine, a dynamic T2*-weighted single-shot EPI sequence was conducted using a 1.5-T scanner. Frontobasal (FROB), temporoparietal (TPAR), mesiotemporal (MTMP), anterior and posterior cingular (ACING, PCING), amygdala (AMYG), thalamus and cerebellar brain regions were studied. rCBF was computed from regional cerebral blood volume and arterial input function and normalised to white matter. Images were analysed by manually placed regions of interest using anatomical coregistration. Significant decreases of rCBF were detected in MCI vs. CN in MTMP (-23%), AMYG (-20%) and ACING (-15%) with no further decline in mild AD. In PCING hypoperfusion (-10%) was confined to AD. These hypoperfusional changes are a possible correlate of localised impairment of CNS function. In FROB no perfusion changes were observed between diagnostic groups,...Continue Reading

Alzheimer's Disease: Neuroimaging

Neuroimaging can help identify pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here is the latest research on neuroimaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, in AD.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.
