21. Mild cognitive impairment neuroimaging markers for early diagnosis of dementia
Abstract : This thesis concerns the investigation of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and quantitative electroencepholography (qEEG). In study I, The qEEG values were cross-sectionally compared between AD, MCI and controls. READ MORE

22. Antecedents of Cerebral Palsy in children born at term - according to subtype, motor severity and accompanying impairments
Abstract : Aims: To explore antecedents of cerebral palsy (CP) according to subtype, severity of motor impairment and accompanying impairments (epilepsy and/or cognitive impairments) in relation to neuroimaging patterns. Material and methods: Case control studies were performed in a population-based serie of children with CP born at term (n=309), matched with a control group (n=618). READ MORE

23. Cognitive and motor dysfunction in the early phase of Parkinson's disease
Abstract : Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease. The diagnosis is based on a combination of the motor signs: tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity and postural abnormalities. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is common early in the disease and a large proportion of patients with PD develop dementia (PDD). READ MORE

24. The reserve concept in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment – new approaches
Abstract : The concept of reserve stems from the observation that premorbid factors, e.g. education, result in variation in the response to any kind of brain pathology. As subjects with higher reserve tolerate more neuropathology, symptomatic expression of pathology is delayed. READ MORE

25. MRI and SPECT neuroimaging in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease
Abstract : This thesis concerns measurements of regional brain volumes using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and of regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) using Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) in patients investigated for suspected dementia. In the first study (I), visually rated MRI-, SPECT and EEG-pathology were compared between patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and patients with Frontal Lobe Dementia (FLD). READ MORE
