  2. 1. Histopathological and neuroimaging studies in partial epilepsy with emphasis on malformations of cortical development

    Author : Sofia Eriksson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epilepsy; epilepsy surgery; multiple pathology; malformations of cortical development; microdysgenesis; morphometry; diffusion tensor imaging;

    Abstract : The aim of the first part of the present study was to describe the whole Göteborg epilepsy surgery series between 1987 and 1995 with respect to surgical procedures, histopathological findings and clinical correlates. We found a high proportion of malformations of cortical development (MCD) and patients with MCD were studied in further detail in the following studies. READ MORE

  4. 2. Microenvironmental regulation of neural stem cell differentiation

    Author : Esra Karaca; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The central nervous system consists of complex networks of neurons and other specialized cells that process information from within and outside the organism to create an output. The development of this complex machinery requires spatio-temporal regulation of neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation into the right type of cells at the right time. READ MORE

  5. 3. Central nervous system malformations and epilepsy in children : genetic, imaging, and clinical aspects

    Author : Sintia Kolbjer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Malformations of cortical development frequently lead to neurodevelopmental disabilities and epilepsy in children. Nevertheless, comprehensive prevalence data based on population studies are scarce. READ MORE

  6. 4. Probing brain microstructure with multidimensional diffusion MRI: Encoding, interpretation, and the role of exchange

    Author : Björn Lampinen; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MRI; Diffusion; Human; Brain; Microstructure; Fysicumarkivet A:2021:Lampinen;

    Abstract : Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a non-invasive probe of human brain microstructure. It is a long-standing promise to use dMRI for ‘in vivo histology’ and estimate tissue quantities. However, this faces several challenges. First, the microstructure models used for dMRI data are based on assumptions that may cause erroneous interpretations. READ MORE

  7. 5. EPILEPSY AND CHILDHOOD AUTISM - with special reference to neuropsychiatric aspects on surgical interventions for medically intractable epilepsy

    Author : Susanna Danielsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : epilepsy; autism; epilepsy surgery; psychopathology; VNS; treatment outcome; children; cognition;

    Abstract : Epilepsy is much more common in individuals with autism than in the general population. The extent to which epilepsy influences the outcome of autism is poorly understood. Many children with medically intractable epilepsy have neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. READ MORE
