Neural processing of idiomatic language Sep 16, 2009
The intra-cortical generators of this effect included the left and right FG, the left cingulate gyrus, the right limbic area, the right MTG (BA21) and the left middle frontal gyrus (BA46). Finally, an anterior late positivity (600-800 ms) was larger to idiomatic than literal phrases. (BioMed Central)
Obesity can inflict big toll on brain Aug 27, 2009
Based on study results, elderly people defined as obese lost brain tissue in five areas of the brain: The frontal and temporal lobes (critical for planning and memory), the anterior cingulate gyrus (attention and executive functions), the hippocampus (long-term memory), and basal ganglia (movement). Overweight subjects showed brain loss in the basal ganglia, but also showed shrinkage in the corona radiata, white matter comprised of axons, and the parietal lobe (sensation and cognition).

Altered structures in Tourette's brain May 13, 2009
Using VBM, TS patients showed significant decreases in gray matter volumes in prefrontal areas, the anterior cingulate gyrus, sensorimotor areas, left caudate nucleus and left postcentral gyrus ... In MTI, white matter reductions were seen in the right medial frontal gyrus, the inferior frontal gyrus bilaterally and the right cingulate gyrus ... Tic severity was negatively correlated with orbitofrontal structures, the right cingulate gyrus and parts of the parietal-temporal-occipital association... (BioMed Central)
