Is cerebral atrophy fatal?
Yes, in most cases cerebral atrophy is fatal. When the cerebral atrophy spreads to all of the brain, there is no chance for the person to live.
Is Huntington's Disease a defect of the cerebellar cortex?
No. Huntington's Disease is a pathological process affecting subcortical structures, not the cerebellar cortex. It does cause generalized atrophy of the cerebral cortex, over time, however. It is a genetic disorder, autosomal dominant in its transmission process, and occurring on chromosome number 4.
What separate the cerebral hemispheres of the brain from the cerebellar hemispheres of the brain?
The transverse fissure.
What is mild central cerebral atrophy?
Mild central cerebral atrophy refers to a condition where there is a mild loss of brain tissue in the central areas of the brain. This can occur due to normal aging or as a result of certain neurological conditions. Symptoms may include memory problems, difficulty with coordination, and changes in behavior or personality. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and addressing the underlying cause.
What is cortical and central cerebral atrophy?
Ischemic Demyelination Sturge webers Hemiatrophy
What is the gray matter on the surface of the brain called?
Grey matter is distributed at the surface of the cerebral hemispheres (cerebral cortex) and of the cerebellum (cerebellar cortex), as well as in the depths of the cerebrum (thalamus; hypothalamus; subthalamus, basal ganglia - putamen, globus pallidus, nucleus accumbens; septal nuclei), cerebellar (deep cerebellar nuclei - dentate nucleus, globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus, fastigial nucleus), brainstem (substantia nigra, red nucleus, olivary nuclei, cranial nerve nuclei) and spinal grey matter (anterior horn, lateral horn, posterior horn).
What has been linked to minimized atrophy of the cerebral cortex of the brain?
Education
What separates the cerebral hemispheres of the brain from the cerebellar hemispheres of the brain?
The cerebral hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum.
Silent area of brain?
An area of the cerebral or cerebellar surface on which lesions cause no sensory or motor symptoms.
What does global cerebral atrophy with prominence of the sulci and ventricles mean?
loss of neurons
What does prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci mean?
It's a sign of (severe) cerebral atrophy. It's being seen on CT or/and MRI scans of the brain. Generalized sulcal prominence diffusely is consistent with diffuse brain atrophy.
Small crescent-shaped fold of dura mater that separates the right and left cerebellar hemispheres?
The falx cerebelli invaginates into the cerebellar notch between the two cerebellar hemispheres. It doesn't actually separate the two hemispheres though. The falx cerebri separates the two cerebral hemispheres.
