    • Adhesio interthalamica alterations in schizophrenia spectrum disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis 

      Trzesniak, Clarissa; Kempton, Matthew J.; Busatto, Geraldo F.; Oliveira, Irismar Reis de; Galvao-de Almeida, Amanda [UNIFESP]; Kambeitz, Joseph; Freitas Ferrari, Maria Cecilia; Santos Filho, Alaor; Chagas, Marcos H. N.; Zuardi, Antonio W.; Hallak, Jaime E. C.; McGuire, Phillip K.; Crippa, Jose Alexandre S. (Elsevier B.V., 2011-06-01)
      Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have reported a variety of brain abnormalities in association with schizophrenia. These include a higher prevalence of an absent adhesio interthalamica (Al; also known massa ...

    • Anterior thalamus deep brain stimulation at high current impairs memory in rats 

      Hamani, Clement [UNIFESP]; Dubiela, Francisco Paulino [UNIFESP]; Soares, Juliana C. K. [UNIFESP]; Shin, Damian; Bittencourt, Simone [UNIFESP]; Covolan, Luciene [UNIFESP]; Carlen, Peter L.; Laxton, Adrian W.; Hodaie, Mojgan; Stone, Scellig S. D.; Ha, Yoon; Hutchison, William D.; Lozano, Andres M.; Mello, Luiz E. [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Maria Gabriela M. [UNIFESP] (Elsevier B.V., 2010-09-01)
      Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior thalamic nucleus (AN), an important relay in the circuitry of memory, is currently being proposed as a treatment for epilepsy. Despite the encouraging results with the use of ...

    • Bilateral Anterior Thalamic Nucleus Lesions Are Not Protective against Seizures in Chronic Pilocarpine Epileptic Rats 

      Hamani, Clement [UNIFESP]; Ewerton, Flavio I. S.; Almeida, Flavia Marcolin de [UNIFESP]; Bonilha, Saulo M. [UNIFESP]; Covolan, Luciene [UNIFESP]; Cavarsan, Clarissa Fantin [UNIFESP]; Ballester, Gerson; Mello, Luiz E. [UNIFESP]; Lozano, Andres M. (Karger, 2009-01-01)
      Aims: To investigate whether anterior thalamic nucleus (AN) lesions are protective against spontaneous recurrent seizures in the chronic phase of the pilocarpine model of epilepsy. Methods: Two groups of rats were treated ...

    • Cerebral gray matter volumes and low-frequency fluctuation of BOLD signals in cocaine dependence: Duration of use and gender difference 

      Ide, Jaime S. [UNIFESP]; Zhang, Sheng; Hu, Sien; Sinha, Rajita; Mazure, Carolyn M.; Li, Chiang-shan R. (Elsevier B.V., 2014-01-01)
      Background: Magnetic resonance imaging has provided a wealth of information on altered brain activations and structures in individuals addicted to cocaine. However, few studies have considered the influence of age and ...

    • Magnetic resonance spectroscopy reveals an epileptic network in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy 

      Lin, Katia [UNIFESP]; Carrete, Henrique [UNIFESP]; Lin, Jaime [UNIFESP]; Peruchi, Mirella Maccarini [UNIFESP]; Araujo Filho, Gerardo Maria de [UNIFESP]; Bittar Guaranha, Mirian Salvadori [UNIFESP]; Figueiredo Ferreira Guilhoto, Laura Maria [UNIFESP]; Sakamoto, Americo Ceiki [UNIFESP]; Targas Yacubian, Elza Marcia [UNIFESP] (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-05-01)
      To investigate the cerebral metabolic differences between patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and normal controls and to evaluate to what extent these metabolic alterations reflect involvement of an epileptic ...

    • Microinjection of GABAergic agents into the anterior nucleus of the thalamus modulates pilocarpine-induced seizures and status epilepticus 

      Bittencourt, Simone [UNIFESP]; Dubiela, Francisco Paulino [UNIFESP]; Queiroz, Claudio Marcos [UNIFESP]; Covolan, Luciene [UNIFESP]; Andrade, Danielle; Lozano, Andres; Mello, Luiz Eugenio Araujo de Moraes [UNIFESP]; Hamani, Clement [UNIFESP] (W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2010-05-01)
      The anterior nucleus of the thalamus (AN) has been suggested as a potential target for seizure modulation in animal models and patients with refractory epilepsy. We investigate whether microinjections of GABAergic agonists ...

    • Thalamic nuclear abnormalities as a contributory factor in sudden cardiac deaths among patients with schizophrenia 

      Scorza, Fulvio Alexandre [UNIFESP]; Schmitt, Andrea; Cysneiros, Roberta Monterazzo [UNIFESP]; Arida, Ricardo Mario [UNIFESP]; Cavalheiro, Esper Abrão [UNIFESP]; Gattaz, Wagner F. (Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2010-01-01)
      Patients with schizophrenia have a two- to three-fold increased risk of premature death as compared to patients without this disease. It has been established that patients with schizophrenia are at a high risk of developing ...
