Background: Subcortical aphasia, caused by lesions in deep brain structures such as the basal ganglia, thalamus, and periventricular white matter, remains poorly understood due to its heterogeneous ...

Research reveals why misplaced neurons in the brain are overactive and lead to developmental disorders. When neurons do not migrate to their proper place during brain development, it causes ...

When it comes to tau tangles, cortical deposits receive the lion’s share of scientists’ attention, but it is the tiny subcortical regions where tangles originate that might set the course for ...

Periventricular leukomalacia is a type of brain injury that affects the white matter surrounding the ventricles in the brain. There is no cure, but treatment can manage symptoms and help with mobility ...

Researchers at Nagoya University’s Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences and the National Institute of Physiological Sciences in Japan have demonstrated how a specific type of neuron in the ...

Introduction: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are reportedly increased in moyamoya disease (MMD); however, their clinical importance is not well-established owing to their pathophysiological ...

Periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) is a malformation of cortical development that frequently causes drug-resistant epilepsy. The epileptogenicity of ectopic neurons in PNH as well as their role ...
