A normal centenarian brain, cut in the coronal plane (top left) is compared to a brain with LATE-NC (top right). The hippocampi on both sides are atrophic (shrunken) in the brain with LATE-NC. The bottom 3 panels show photomicrographs of a hippocampus with LATE-NC, stained for phosphorylated TDP-43 protein (TDP-43).
Vascular dementia can be caused by ischemic or hemorrhagic infarcts affecting multiple brain areas, including the anterior cerebral artery territory, the parietal lobes, or the cingulate gyrus. [5] On rare occasion, infarcts in the hippocampus or thalamus are the cause of dementia. [ 12 ]
Hippocampus anatomy describes the physical aspects and properties of the hippocampus, a neural structure in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. It has a distinctive, curved shape that has been likened to the sea-horse monster of Greek mythology and the ram's horns of Amun in Egyptian mythology .
The life expectancy in some states has fallen in recent years; for example, Maine's life expectancy in 2010 was 79.1 years, and in 2018 it was 78.7 years. The Washington Post noted in November 2018 that overall life expectancy in the United States was declining although in 2018 life expectancy had a slight increase of 0.1 and bringing it to ...
The typical brain sample is a surgical specimen, a brain sample obtained during epilepsy surgery. [1] The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) defines 3 hippocampal sclerosis (HS) types: predominant neuronal cell loss in subfields CA1 and CA4 (HS ILAE type 1), subfield CA1 (HS ILAE type 2) or subfield CA4 (HS ILAE type 3).
However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends doing these things to lower your risk of developing dementia: Be physically active Try to prevent or manage diabetes
'arch'; pl.: fornices) is a C-shaped bundle of nerve fibers in the brain that acts as the major output tract of the hippocampus. The fornix also carries some afferent fibers to the hippocampus from structures in the diencephalon and basal forebrain. The fornix is part of the limbic system. While its exact function and importance in the ...
