Tanev KS, Yilma M Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2009 Apr;111(3):282-91 PMID: 18995952 Abstract Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by prions. Typically CJD presents with a triad of rapidly progressive dementia, abnormal movements (e.g., myoclonus) and electroencephalographic (EEG) changes. Recently, CJD has been subdivided into subtypes based… read more →
Makris N, Angelone L, Tulloch S, Sorg S, Kaiser J, Kennedy D, Bonmassar G Med Biol Eng Comput 2008 Dec;46(12):1239-51 PMID: 18985401 Abstract In this study, we present a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based, high-resolution, numerical model of the head of a healthy human subject. In order to formulate the model,… read more →

Kubicki M, Styner M, Bouix S, Gerig G, Markant D, Smith K, Kikinis R, McCarley RW, Shenton ME Schizophr. Res. 2008 Dec;106(2-3):125-31 PMID: 18829262 Abstract BACKGROUND: A reduction in interhemispheric connectivity is thought to contribute to the etiology of schizophrenia. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) measures the diffusion of water and… read more →
Makris N, Papadimitriou GM, Kaiser JR, Sorg S, Kennedy DN, Pandya DN Cereb. Cortex 2009 Apr;19(4):777-85 PMID: 18669591 Abstract Experimental and imaging studies in monkeys have outlined various long association fiber bundles within the temporoparietal region.
