We were interested in whether brain abnormalities would progressively influence individuals as the result of migraine attack history.
"With respect to the neuroimaging data, while [the Court] find[s] that the data demonstrates that areas of the defendant's brain are functioning abnormally, Dr. Gur's testimony did not convince the Court that the totality of the defendant's brain abnormalities would lead to a diagnosis of sufficiently sub-average intelligence".
Therefore, neurological abnormalities (for example, traumatic brain injury) would be expected to reduce BIS values and therefore potentially provide an inaccurate indication of the patients' sleep characteristics.
For example, if the thorough macroscopic and microscopic examinations using conventional methods of brain evaluation do not reveal any specific diagnostic abnormality, the neuropathologic diagnosis assigned to this brain would be "Diagnosis: There is no diagnostic abnormality recognized".
The commission also announced that magnetic resonance imaging scans of the brain would be administered to fighters as part of an annual examination to search for abnormalities.
Sometimes, brain abnormalities can be seen with the naked eye, but often, scientists need to look at smaller brain sections under a microscope to observe how brain cells and tissue might look different compared with healthy brains.
Further evidence about what the effect of the brain abnormality has on the person would be needed, and its correlation with heavy drinking is not enough.
Our hypotheses were that cognitive impairment measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) would be associated with brain abnormalities, in particular hippocampal atrophy and deep white matter changes, after controlling for confounders, such as age, gender, education and premorbid IQ.
Pre-ECT brain abnormalities were common in these patients yet were also unaffected by ECT.
