Macro-structural brainstem volumetry in generalized epilepsy: assessment of subcortical network involvement

Sep 2026 · Neurological Sciences · Vol 47 · 0 citations · 16 references
Medicine

TL;DR

The anatomical basis of Generalized Epilepsy may involve a structural process encompassing the brainstem and affecting deep brain structures, and the detected volume reduction in the medulla oblongata could be associated with a potential disruption in cardiorespiratory regulation.

Quantitative MRI Volumetry as a Potential Neuroimaging Biomarker in Levetiracetam-Treated Epilepsy

Background/Objectives: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumetry may provide an objective approach for detecting subtle longitudinal structural brain changes in patients with epilepsy. This retrospective longitudinal study investigated regional and global brain volume changes observed during levetiracetam...

Structural abnormalities in gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid in parkinson's disease: a voxel-based morphometry study.

OBJECTIVE Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting multiple brain systems, yet whole-brain structural changes remain incompletely characterized. We used voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to systematically quantify gray matter (GM), white matter (WM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume alteration...

Volumetric and functional connectivity alterations of the thalamus and thalamic nuclei groups in drug-resistant focal epilepsy: A 7T MRI study.

Ventral, medial, and posterior nuclei metrics show promise as imaging biomarkers of disease burden and seizure severity, thus encouraging further research into both structural and functional properties of thalamic nuclei in focal epilepsy.

An Allometric Approach to Fine-Mapping Subcortical Volume Alterations in RASopathies

Visual Abstract Structural neuroimaging in youth with RASopathies has shown alterations in total brain volume (TBV) and subcortical structures. However, whether these subcortical differences scale proportionately with TBV or follow nonlinear allometric relationships remains unclear, limiting accurate interpretation of...

Brainstem and cerebellar volume changes in multiple sclerosis: associations with clinical disability and disease duration using 3T MRI

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and brain atrophy. To evaluate brainstem and cerebellar volumetric changes in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) using 3T MRI and to investigate their relationship with disease...

Cortical and subcortical morphological alterations in de novo GBA-related Parkinson’s disease

GBA-PD patients showed distinct patterns of cortical thickness and volume thinning, as well as amygdala subregional atrophy, which may contribute to future exploratory phenotypic characterization or patient stratification, but validation in larger independent cohorts is required.
