Abstract:
Cerebellum may be a common site of developmental abnormalities due to its protracted course of maturation. Recent studies have implicated morphological deviations of the cerebellum as responsible for specific behavioral and cognitive manifestations of autism. We investigated neuropsychology and quantitative MRI of the cerebellum in both high functioning subjects with autism and survivors of childhood leukemia treated with radiation and intrathecal chemotherapy. The results of neuropsychological testing revealed different patterns of cognitive deficits for the two groups, while the abnormal cer

AbstractThe most commonly reported finding from structural brain studies in autism is abnormality of the cerebellum. Autopsy and magnetic resonance imaging (MR) studies from nine independent research groups have found developmental abnormality of the cerebellar vermis or hemispheres in the majority of the more than 240 subjects with autism who were studied. We reported previously that patients with autism and those with acquired damage to the cerebellum were slow to shift attention between and within sensory modalities.

ABSTRACT:A feature of cerebellar ataxia is dysmetria, which is characterized by inaccurate movements. Studies of rapid movements at a single joint show prolonged acceleration phases and prolonged initial bursts of EMG activity in the agonist muscle. These two features correlate with each other, suggesting that the prolongation of the neural signal is responsible for the kinematic abnormality. This explains a tendency to hypermetria. Studies of multijoint movements show abnormalities in relative timing of the different joints. During locomotion, knee and ankle motions can be delayed differentia

Previous reports have shown that SCA7 results in increased susceptibility to DNA damage. Since DNA damage can lead to accumulation of senescent cells, we hypothesized that SCA7 causes an accumulation of senescent cells over the course of disease.

Abstract:
Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosome abnormality with a unique cancer predisposition syndrome pattern: a higher risk to develop acute leukemia and a lower incidence of solid tumors. In particular, brain tumors are rarely reported in the DS population, and biological behavior and natural history are not well described and identified. We report a case of a 10-year-old child with DS who presented with a medulloblastoma (MB). Histological examination revealed a classic MB with focal anaplasia and the molecular profile showed the presence of a CTNNB1 variant associated with the wingless

Background: Wallenberg’s syndrome (WS), or lateral medullary syndrome is rare in pediatrics, but is not uncommon in adults. It is characterized by neurological deficits due to an ischemic lesion in the lateral medulla. Methods: Case report Results: We describe a 17-year-old boy who developed WS in the context of hyperflexion injury to the neck while diving in shallow water with vertebral dissection as a presumed etiology. He had ‘crossed’ neurological deficits above and below the neck. His MRA showed intra and extracranial left vertebral artery occlusion and his MRI showed T2W/FLAIR signal abn

Abstract:
Spina bifida is the one of the most common severe congenital abnormality of the central nervous system. Scalloping of the frontal bones called “the lemon sign” and caudal displacement of the cerebellum called “the banana sign” are known as cranial signs of open spina bifida on ultrasonography at the second trimester. Although these signs are useful methods in diagnosing of open spina bifida in the second trimester, detection rates of open spina bifida by using these signs in the first trimester are low.

Abstract:
Superficial siderosis is a rare abnormality caused by deposition of hemosiderin in the subpial or subarachnoid spaces of the brain, cranial nerves, and spinal cord. It results from chronic repetitive bleeding in the subpial/subarachnoid space. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain is the diagnostic modality of choice. We describe a rare case of an 18-month-old male, a known case of congenital Factor V deficiency, who presented with recurrent vomiting, irritability and right-sided hemiparesis. On Magnetic resonance imaging, there was hypointense coating of the surface of the brainstem and cer

AbstractThese studies provide evidence for slowed spatial orienting of attention in autism. A group of well-defined adult autistic subjects and age-matched normal controls performed a traditional spatial cueing task in which attention-related response facilitation is indexed by speed of target detection. To address the concern that motor impairment may interfere with interpretation of response time measures in those with neurologic abnormality, we also used a new adaptation of the traditional task that depended on accuracy of response (target discrimination) rather than speed of response.

It is still undetermined whether it is possible to improve the social function of ALT individuals through noninvasive neural modulation. To this end, we randomly assigned ALT individuals into the real (n=16) and sham (n=16) stimulation groups. All s
