Abstract

Morphology builds Wilson's disease's clincal basis. To detect and quantify regional morphometric abnormalities, in terms of both volume and shape, in patients with Wilson's disease. Twenty-seven Wilson's disease patients and 24 healthy controls were enrolled. Specific brain structures, including the bilateral caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, thalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, red nucleus, and substantia nigra (SN), were automatically extracted from each participant's T1 -weighted image. Volume abnormalities and correlations with the modified Young scale were investigated. Furthermore, vertex-based shape analysis was performed to explore region-specific morphometric abnormalities. Significant global volume atrophy and local shape abnormalities were detected and quantified in the bilateral caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, thalamus, amygdala, red nucleus, and SN. Morphometric abnormalities of the caudate, putamen, and thalamus were strong, whereas those of the globus pallidus, amygdala, red nucleus, and SN were weaker. No hippocampal abnormalities were observed. The modified Young scale was found to correlate significantly with the volumes of the bilateral putamen and the right globus pallidus. Shape analysis revealed subregion-...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

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.

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.
