- Breath-holding spells (BHSs) are episodes in children characterized by apnea, loss of consciousness, and changes in skin tone, likely caused by autonomic dysregulation from delayed myelination, though the exact cause is unclear.
- The study examined 16 children with severe BHS, comparing them to 18 matched controls through various evaluations and MRI scans, revealing no significant brainstem volume differences but lower fractional anisotropy (FA) values in key brain areas for BHS patients.
- The findings suggest that BHSs may be treated like other neurodevelopmental disorders, providing insights into their underlying pathophysiology and potential treatment approaches.
A Volumetric Study of the Corpus Callosum in the Turkish Population.
J Neurol Surg B Skull Base
August 2022
The aim of this study is to measure the average corpus callosum (CC) volume of healthy Turkish humans and to analyze the effects of gender and age on volumes, including the genu, truncus, and splenium parts of the CC. Magnetic resonance imaging brain scans were obtained from 301 healthy male and female subjects, aged 11 to 84 years. The median age was 42 years (min-max: 11-82) in females and 49 years (min-max: 12-84) in males.

Material And Methods: This study evaluated 24 rats divided into the following three different groups: a control group, a group exposed to the electromagnetic field, and a group that was injected with carnosine while being exposed to the electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field group was exposed to a 900 Mhz electromagnetic field for an hour daily over 28 days.
Volumetric measurements of the subcortical structures of healthy adult brains in the Turkish population.
Folia Morphol (Warsz)
June 2022
Background: The interest in the morphological development of brain structures during childhood and adolescence arises from discussions on subcortical anomalies and sexual dimorphism, from adolescent changes in cognitive functions supported by cortical and subcortical structures to a wide range of childhood neuropsychiatric diseases. This study aims to investigate the subcortical structures regarding age/gender changes in the healthy adult human brain using web-based volBrain.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 303 normal healthy adults (males and females) were examined using a 1.
