The regions of the brain affected by the disease vary significantly as well. Multiple imaging studies have identified various patterns of atrophy, white-matter damage, and waning neural activity among ...

Nearly 10% of people live with chronic kidney disease—in other words, their kidneys can't adequately filter waste from their ...

Previously dubbed “frontal variant AD,” this rare form of the disease actually spares the frontal lobes and instead wreaks havoc in temporoparietal regions, according to a study published July 2 in ...

With Pick's disease, nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes start to atrophy (die), leading to symptoms of dementia that can be hard to distinguish from Alzheimer's disease.

As we age, our brains slowly shrink in volume and weight. This includes significant atrophy within the frontal lobes, the seat of executive functioning. Executive functions include planning ...

When assessing the relationships between brain volume changes and cognitive scores, researchers determined that, in converters, mean volume of frontal lobes at follow-up was positively correlated ...

The frontal lobe is a part of the brain that controls key functions relating to consciousness and communication, memory, attention, and other roles.

The study collected data on more than 750 adults regarding physical activity levels, and compared that MRIs of the participants' frontal and temporal lobes of the brain over an eight-year period.

Your frontal lobe is the largest lobe of your brain. It makes up about 25%-40% of the cortex in your brain, depending upon how researchers define the boundaries of the lobes. Your cortex is the ...

So it starts in the temporal lobe where the language center is, and then it moves to the frontal lobes, which is where a lot of our personality, impulse control, and our behavior control are.

Of course, it follows that movement and mobility-centered cases occur when the portions of the frontal lobe and the two temporal lobes that control movement are the first to atrophy, though these ...
