Sentences with phrase «uncinate fasiculus»

In addition, relative to CD / CU - individuals, adolescents with CD / CU + showed lower diffusivity (indexed by reduced RD and MD) in left uncinate fasciculus and bilateral fornix.

We also found reduced RD and MD in CD / CU + individuals in the left uncinate fasciculus, (connecting the orbitofrontal cortex and anterior temporal lobe, including the amygdala (Catani et al. 2013).

However, our findings diverge from those reported by Breeden et al. (2015), who observed negative correlations between CU traits and FA values in the uncinate fasciculus and stria terminalis.

Therefore increases in FA and reductions in RD / MD in key white - matter tracts including (but not limited to) those connecting prefrontal and limbic regions (uncinate fasciculus) appeared to be specifically linked to CD with elevated callous - unemotional traits (CD / CU +).

Key: BCC = body corpus callosum; SCC = splenium corpus callosum; CP = cerebral peduncle; PIC = posterior internal capsule; RIC = retrolenticular internal capsule; SCR = superior corona radiata; PTR = posterior thalamic radiation; SS = sagittal stratum; EC = external capsule; SLF = superior longitudinal fasciculus; PCR = posterior corona radiata; ST = stria terminalis; SFOF = superior fronto - occipital fasciculus; UC = uncinate fasciculus; ACR = anterior corona radiata; GCC = genus corpus callosum; CD = Conduct Disorder; CD / CU + = Conduct Disorder with high levels of callous - unemotional traits; CD / CU - = Conduct Disorder with low levels of callous - unemotional traits; HC = Healthy Controls

In line with evidence in AB [151] significant differences in the fractional anisotropy (FA) measures of the uncinate fasciculus have been demonstrated in adolescents with conduct disorder [29,39] as well as in adult psychopathy [144,152].

For example, the uncinate fasciculus is a white - matter tract connecting the amygdala and neighbouring anterior temporal lobe with the orbitofrontal cortex and it thus may be involved in facilitating empathy, emotion regulation and socio - cognitive processes [150].

When compared to the control group, type 2 patients showed decreased integrity in the white matter of two different areas in the brain — the cingulum bundle, which is a fiber tract that connects regions in the default - mode network, and the uncinate fasciculus, which connects regions important for executive function and memory.

ASD was also associated with underdevelopment of white matter in the left uncinate bundle, which plays a significant role in face recognition and emotional processing.

«Lower FA values in the uncinate fasciculi could offer a metric for evaluating the severity of mild traumatic brain injuries and predicting clinical outcome.
