Journal ArticleDOI

Frontal lobe degeneration: clinical, neuropsychological, and SPECT characteristics.

TL;DR: The clinical, neuropsychological, and cerebral blood flow characteristics of eight patients with frontal lobe degeneration were studied and showed selective impairment of frontal and memory tasks with relative sparing of attention, language, and visuospatial skills.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebral Perfusion and Neuropsychological Consequences of Chronic Cocaine Use

TL;DR: It is indicated that long-term cocaine use may produce sustained brain perfusion deficits and persistent neuropsychological compromise in some subgroups of cocaine-abusing patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Maximal Extent of Resection of Contrast-Enhanced and Non-Contrast-Enhanced Tumor With Survival Within Molecular Subgroups of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma.

TL;DR: An association between maximal resection of CE tumor and OS in patients with glioblastoma is confirmed across all subgroups and was associated with longer OS in younger patients, regardless of IDH status, and among patients with IDH-wild-type gliOBlastoma regardless of the methylation status of the promoter region of the DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current Clinical Brain Tumor Imaging.

TL;DR: An overview of current magnetic resonance imaging methods routinely employed in the care of the brain tumor patient focuses on advanced techniques including diffusion, perfusion, spectroscopy, tractography, and functional MRI as they pertain to noninvasive characterization of brain tumors and pretreatment evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basal forebrain degeneration precedes and predicts the cortical spread of Alzheimer's pathology.

Taylor W. Schmitz, +311 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that basal forebrain pathology precedes and predicts both entorhinal pathology and memory impairment, challenging the widely held belief that AD has a cortical origin.
