  1. Involvement of the Precuneus/Posterior Cingulate Cortex Is Significant for the Development of Alzheimer's Disease: A PET (THK5351, PiB) and Resting fMRI Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2018-10-05 Brain scans and imaging

    SSM/PCA identified a significant spatial THK5351 pattern composed by mainly three clusters including precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), right and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) which accounted for 23.6% of the total subject voxel variance of the data and had 82.6% sensitivity and 79.1% specificity in discriminating AD from healthy controls.

  2. The von Economo neurons in frontoinsular and anterior cingulate cortex in great apes and humans

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain structure & function 2010-05-29 Brain scans and imaging

    There are significantly more VENs in the right hemisphere than in the left in FI and LA in postnatal brains of apes and humans.
