Experience-dependent alterations in the human brain's white-matter microstructure occur in
early adulthood, but it is unknown whether such plasticity extends throughout life. We used …

Context Pedophilic crime causes considerable public concern, but no causative factor of
pedophilia has yet been pinpointed. In the past, etiological theories postulated a major impact …

Age-related degenerations in brain structure are associated with balance disturbances and
cognitive impairments. However, neuroplasticity is known to be preserved throughout …

Background Pathophysiological evidence suggests an involvement of fronto-striatal circuits
in Tourette syndrome (TS). To identify TS related abnormalities in gray and white matter we …

From animal research, it is known that combining physical activity with sensory enrichment
has stronger and longer-lasting effects on the brain than either treatment alone. For humans …

In echo‐planar‐based diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI),
the evaluation of diffusion parameters such as apparent diffusion coefficients and …

Background Widespread cortical atrophy in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) has been
described in neuropathological studies. The presence of cortical atrophy in conventional and …

LCModel and AMARES, two widely used quantitation tools for magnetic resonance
spectroscopy (MRS) data, were employed to analyze simulated spectra similar to those typically …

Background: So far, the neural network associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
has been suggested to mainly involve the amygdala, hippocampus and medial prefrontal …

Abnormalities of the hippocampus are intricately involved in the pathophysiology of
schizophrenia. Hippocampal volume decrease is present at disease onset and has mainly been …
