Brain Integrity Prior to Surgery and “Good” Inflammation?
Free-water change seen after surgery may indicate widespread glial response, with greater change indicative of better brain response to the acute surgery/anesthesia experience. See…

Preoperative Cognitive Reserve and Brain Integrity Explains Variabilty During Anesthesia
Read Full Scientific Article Our research team shows that baseline brain integrity (brain markers commonly seen with Alzheimer’s Disease-Vascular Dementia) and cognitive function predict variability during a controlled period of anesthesia while having knee replacement surgery. This is the first study to examine intra-individual variability on…

Verbal Memory in Parkinson’s Disease
Please read about our recent 2015 paper discussing temporal lobe and frontal-subcortical contributions to verbal memory impairment in Parkinson’s Disease. For this investigation, Dr. Tanner and his colleagues examined verbal memory in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the significance of the left entorhinal cortex and left entorhinal-retrosplenial region connections on…
