Dementia arising from a dysfunction in an area of the brain beneath the Cerebral Cortex.
Characterised by symptoms such as:
Bradyphenia
Impairments of Executive Function
Visuospatial disturbances
Depression
Apathy
CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Sub-Cortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy) is a rare genetic, degenerative neurological syndrome that causes migraines, strokes and dementia. If you have CADASIL, there is a great support group on Facebook called CADASIL Support! Join us there.
The "large brain" would be considered the cerebrum which contains the cerebral cortex as well as some sub-cortical structures.
yes epileptic seizures can be found in the sub-cortical of the Brain's of the type of seizures are all over the brain .
Lacunar strokes LACK cortical deficits. Exactly what are cortical symptomes, I do not know. =-(
The parts of the brain which are below the surface of the cerebral cortex itself.Have a little look here http://www.noteaccess.com/APPROACHES/ArtEd/ChildDev/1dSubcortex.htm
the function of the cortical artery is the kidenys
There are more than 80 different types of dementia. The most common are Alzheimer's, Vascular Dementia and Frontal Temporal Dementia. Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia are very similar in terms of the effects on the person who has them (at least until Alzheimer's progresses into later stages). FTD is a very different type.
Cortical cerebral atrophy refers to a loss of neurons in the cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain responsible for higher brain functions. Central cerebral atrophy involves shrinking of structures deep within the brain, such as the hippocampus and thalamus. Both types of atrophy can result in cognitive decline and neurological symptoms.
In lLayman's terms, a cortical infarct is a type of stroke.
Cortical Tectonics was created in 2007-06.

These are referred to as associational connections when communication is between different parts of cortex in the same hemisphere. There also exists numerous fiber tracts between sub-cortical and cortical structures such as the optic radiation within the same hemisphere.
