まとめ
後部フォサ腫瘍 (PFT) の生存者は,特に放射線治療後,灰色質量 (GMV) の変化と認知の欠陥を示します. タラムスなどの脳領域におけるGMVの減少は,これらの患者の作業記憶の低下と相関しています.
科学分野:
- 神経画像は,神経イメージングによるものです.
- 神経心理学の神経心理学について
- 放射線腫瘍学 放射線腫瘍学
背景:
- 後部フォサ腫瘍 (PFTs) は放射線治療を必要とし,潜在的に脳損傷を引き起こす可能性があります.
- 放射線治療は,皮質と皮質下脳の構造の両方に影響を与える可能性があります.
研究 の 目的:
- PFTの生存者におけるグレー質量 (GMV) の変化を調査する.
- PFTの生存者におけるGMVの変化と認知機能の関係を探求する.
- 放射線治療と非放射線治療を受けたPFT生存者間のGMVと認知機能を比較する.
主な方法:
- ヴォクセルベースのおよび地域ベースの体積測定を用いてGMVを定量化するために,T1加重型MRIスキャンを使用しました.
- 認知能力は,ウェクスラー成人知能スケール-IV (WAIS-IV) とドメイン特有のテストを使用して評価されました.
- 18人のPFT生存者と21人のマッチングした対照群が研究に含まれていた.
主要な成果:
- PFTの生存者は,左側頭線形と左側頭線形を含む特定の脳領域でGMVの減少を示した.
- 地域ベースの分析では,生存者の間では,下皮質領域でのGMVが低く,左側下側側頭葉領域でのGMVが高かったことが明らかになった.
- 椎間板放射線は,双方のタラミと右側腹側頭脳でGMVの減少,双方の中側側頭脳領域でGMVの増加と関連していました.
- 生存者は,複雑な注意力と認知の柔軟性を除いて,コントロールと比較して,ほとんどの認知領域でより悪いパフォーマンスを示しました.
- 生存者において,双方のタラミと右側腹部の二次脳におけるGMVは,作業記憶のパフォーマンスと正に相関していた.
結論:
- PFTの生存者は,GMVと認知能力の有意な変化を示す.
- 椎間板放射線は,PFTの生存者におけるGMVの偏差を強める.
- 減少したGMVは,PFTの生存者の認知能力の低下と関連しており,治療の長期的な影響を強調しています.

Classifying Matter by State
104.8K
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is all around us; the air, water, soil, mountains, even our bodies are all examples of matter. Matter is divided into three states — solid, liquid, and gas — that are commonly found on earth. The fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

What is Matter?
103.9K
The substance of the universe—from a grain of sand to a star—is called matter. Scientists define matter as anything that occupies space and has mass. An object’s mass and its weight are related concepts, but not quite the same. An object’s mass is the amount of matter contained in the object and is the same whether that object is on Earth or in the zero-gravity environment of outer space. An object’s weight, on the other hand, is its mass as affected by the pull of...

The Atomic Theory of Matter
130.3K
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...
