What does perietal hypodensity in a cat scan of the head mean?
if you know this you r awesome cause i dont hypodensity often means that there is edema, or swelling in that area of the brain. Therefore, this could indicate that there was an ischemic stroke that occurred within the parietal area of the brain. Hope this helps.
What is a hypodense nodule?
Hypodensity in the brain means that in an area there is less density than other areas of the brain. Instead of brain tissue, there is fat. There are different causes, and a doctor needs to determine it through additional testing.
What does it mean when a ct scan reveals asymmetry in some areas of the brain?
What causes asymetric ventricules to swell in the brain?
What does prominent deep periventricular white matter changes consistent with microvascular ischemia mean on a mri of the brain mean?
Apparently some of the white matter cells around the ventricles have died due to small blood vessel inability to supply them with enough oxygen. Basically the brain's gray matter are our pools of information. The brain's white matter relays signals. These signals access and connect gray matter information to help us carry out physical and mental acts, from walking etc., to remembering stuff.

What does not use a nonspecific ascending pathway to transmit sensory information to the brain?
Arousal.
Which white matter tracts connect the cerebrum to the lower brain areas?
projection fibers
What is the gray-white matter junction in the brain?
Gray matter contains most of the neuronal cell bodies in the brain, and involves muscle control and the senses. White matter transfers the messages between different areas of the central nervous system.

What makes brain matter white?
The myelin sheaths found on axons in the brain ("myelinated axons") gives most brain tissue a white color (= "white matter"). The grey, unmyelinated sell bodies, or "soma," of these axons reside in areas of the brain commonly referred to as "grey matter." Ben
What causes hypodencity in brain?
Hypodensity seen in the brain depends on the imaging modality (CT versus MRI). However, in general, the following can cause this: infarct, injury, infection, serous fluid, infiltration of fluid, normal variant and much more.
What is gray matter?
Gray matter and white matter are essentially the same in the brain and spinal cord. The gray matter is the part of the brain and spinal cord that initiate the firing of neurons and the white matter is basically the mode of transportation for the signal.
What is in a brain?
Inside a brain is: grey matter (the bodies of the brain cells) and white matter (the fat covered projections of the brain cells).
Where is White matter in the brain?
Grey matter is on the surface of the brain - it is the computing side. White matter is in the cenre of the brain it is the wires that join the computers.
What are brodman areas of the brain?
The Brodman areas of the brain are divisions of the brain as published by Korbinian Brodman in 1909. He defined around 50 areas of the human brain. His studies were based on cell structure and assumed function.
