Journal ArticleDOI
Hippocampal Plasticity in Response to Exercise in Schizophrenia
Frank-Gerald Pajonk,Thomas Wobrock,Oliver Gruber,Harald Scherk,Dorothea Berner,Inge Kaizl,Astrid Kierer,Stephanie Müller,Martin Oest,Tim Meyer,Martin Backens,Thomas Schneider-Axmann,Allen E. Thornton,William G. Honer,Peter Falkai +14 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that in both healthy subjects and patients with schizophrenia hippocampal volume is plastic in response to aerobic exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient dystonia following magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with deep brain stimulation electrodes for the treatment of Parkinson disease: Case report
Jörg Spiegel,Gerhard Fuss,Martin Backens,Wolfgang Reith,Tim Magnus,Georg Becker,Jean-Richard Moringlane,Ulrich Dillmann +7 more
TL;DR: A 73-year-old patient with bilaterally implanted deep brain electrodes for the treatment of Parkinson disease who exhibited dystonic and partially ballistic movements of the left leg immediately after an MR imaging session demonstrates the possible risks of MR imaging in patients with deep brain stimulators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive changes after carotid artery stenting.
Iris Q. Grunwald,Tillmann Supprian,Maria Politi,Tobias Struffert,Peter Falkai,Christoph Krick,Martin Backens,Wolfgang Reith +7 more
TL;DR: After CAS, cognitive and memory performance seem to improve, and better results concerning NCT and delayed recall after carotid stenting might be due to improved brain perfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Configuration of the Optic Chiasm in Humans with Albinism as Revealed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Bernd Schmitz,Torsten Schaefer,Christoph Krick,Wolfgang Reith,Martin Backens,Barbara Käsmann-Kellner +5 more
TL;DR: Size and configuration of the optic chiasm in humans with albinism are distinctly different from those in normal control subjects and reflect the atypical crossing of optic fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor val66met polymorphism with magnetic resonance spectroscopic markers in the human hippocampus: in vivo evidence for effects on the glutamate system
Oliver Gruber,Alkomiet Hasan,Harald Scherk,Thomas Wobrock,Thomas Schneider-Axmann,Savira Ekawardhani,Andrea Schmitt,Martin Backens,Wolfgang Reith,Jobst Meyer,Peter Falkai +10 more
TL;DR: Findings provide first in vivo evidence for an effect of the functional BDNF val66met polymorphism on the glutamate system in human hippocampus, independently of psychiatric diagnoses.
