Hippocampal volumetric variations in the normal human brain by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomical Variations - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The morphology and size of the human brain and its major anatomically defined subdivisions are very important for understanding neurological diseases and also for neurosurgery. The diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD) and primary degenerative dementia depends on neuropathologic evidence of senile plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and cell loss, which predominate in the hippocampal formation, the amygdala, and the entorhinal cortex.
