Background: There is evidence that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as
motor neuron disease (MND), is more common in men than in women and that gender …

A selective distribution of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathological lesions in specific cortical
layers isolates the hippocampus from the rest of the brain. However, functional connectivity …

We used high-resolution MRI to investigate gray and white matter aging in the major lobes of
the cerebrum (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital) and the major sectors of the temporal lobe …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has opened a new window to the brain. Measuring
hippocampal volume with MRI has provided important information about several …

Previous positron emission tomography studies of right-handed individuals show that the left
orbitofrontal cortex is dominant during emotional processing of odors. We collected …

The two hemispheres of the human brain differ functionally and structurally. Despite over a
century of research, the extent to which brain asymmetry is influenced by sex, handedness …

BACKGROUND: Hippocampal volume reduction, declarative memory deficits, and cortisol
elevations are reported in persons with major depressive disorder; however, data linking …

The hippocampus is known to be vulnerable to hypoxia, stress, and undernutrition, all likely
to be present in fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The effect of IUGR in preterm …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is more prevalent in females than males, and this female
predominance is increasing as time goes by. Additionally, gender appears to play critical …
