Journal ArticleDOI
Experience-dependent plasticity of white-matter microstructure extends into old age
Martin Lövdén,Nils Bodammer,Simone Kühn,Jörn Kaufmann,Hartmut Schütze,Claus Tempelmann,Hans-Jochen Heinze,Emrah Düzel,Emrah Düzel,Florian Schmiedek,Ulman Lindenberger +10 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that experience-dependent plasticity of white-matter microstructure extends into old age and that disruptions of structural interhemispheric connectivity in old age, which are pronounced in aging, are modifiable by experience and amenable to treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread sensorimotor and frontal cortical atrophy in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Julian Grosskreutz,Jörn Kaufmann,Julia Frädrich,Reinhard Dengler,Hans-Jochen Heinze,Thomas Peschel +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used optimized voxel-based morphometry as an unbiased whole brain approach to detect differences between regional grey and white matter volumes in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eddy current correction in diffusion-weighted imaging using pairs of images acquired with opposite diffusion gradient polarity.
TL;DR: With phantom data it is shown that the theoretically expected symmetry of distortions is preserved in the images to a very high degree, demonstrating the practicality of the new postprocessing correction scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex abnormalities in Tourette Syndrome: evidence from voxel-based morphometry and magnetization transfer imaging
Kirsten R. Müller-Vahl,Jörn Kaufmann,Julian Grosskreutz,Reinhard Dengler,Hinderk M. Emrich,Thomas Peschel +5 more
TL;DR: MRI in vivo neuropathological findings support the hypothesis that alterations in frontostriatal circuitries underlie Tourette syndrome pathology and suggest that anomalous frontal lobe association and projection fiber bundles cause disinhibition of the cingulate gyrus and abnormal basal ganglia function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain Pathology in Pedophilic Offenders: Evidence of Volume Reduction in the Right Amygdala and Related Diencephalic Structures
Kolja Schiltz,Joachim Witzel,Georg Northoff,Kathrin C. Zierhut,Udo Gubka,Hermann Fellmann,Jörn Kaufmann,Claus Tempelmann,Christine Wiebking,Bernhard Bogerts +9 more
TL;DR: Pedophilic perpetrators show structural impairments of brain regions critical for sexual development that are not related to age, and their extent predicts how focused the scope of sexual offenses is on uniform pedophilic activity.
