The effect of changes in baseline regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) values on the cerebral blood flow response during neuronal activation was studied with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Using a breath-holding challenge as a hypercapnic stimulus, rCBF alterations during photic stimul

Clinical and histopathological findings hint at regional differences in the brain's sensitivity to metabolic changes in cirrhosis. The aim of the present study was to examine regional differences in cerebral ammonia metabolism in patients with cirrhosis and grade 0-to-I hepatic encephalopathy (HE).
Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was studied in nine patients with Alzheimer's disease before and after trestment with tacrine. A small but significant improvement in cognitive functioning on the drug was not accompanied by significant changes in rCBF for the group as a whole. However, when the a
The purpose of this study was to examine changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using positron emission tomography (PET) during overt word and nonword reading tasks to determine structures involved in semantic processing. Ten young, healthy, right-handed subjects were scanned 12 times, twice
Twenty-six patients with recently diagnosed leptomeningeal metastases underwent multiple diagnostic procedures in order to assess possible cerebral parenchymal involvement. Pretreatment studies included detailed neurological examination, computed tomographic scan, electroencephalogram, neuropsycholo
