Results

EEGpower analysis showed that FTDgroup had increased

frontal and temporal theta as compared to the BDgroup. Therewere

no consistent group differences for other bands.

Conclusion

Based on this result we conclude that quantitative

EEG may help differentiating BD from FTD and may eliminate diag-

nostic uncertainty.

Introduction

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder compris-

ing brain structural and functional alterations, especially in default

mode network (DMN), as MRI studies have recently shown. How-

ever, it is not clear in which extent medication for ADHD may

influence the activity of these networks.

Objectives

The main purpose is to look up published evidence

about the effects of ADHD medication on the connectivity of DMN

in patients as measured with functional-MRI.

Methods

A review was conducted with Pubmed, using

search terms ‘default mode network’+ ‘ADHD’ + ‘medication’/

‘methylphenidate’/‘atomoxetine’/‘stimulant’/‘lisdexanfetamine’.

Original research studies in English using f-MRI to assess DMN con-

nectivity in ADHD patients were included in amore comprehensive

review.

Results

The searches found 124 articles, 8 meeting the review

criteria. A total size of 146 ADHD patients was comprised (mean

size: 18.25 patients). Three studies used specific resting-state f-

MRI. Seven were drug trials, 3 of them short-term, randomized and

controlled ones. Six included methylphenidate, 2 atomoxetine, 1

lisdexanfetamine and 3 amphetamines. Two also assessed drugs

clinical effects. Evidence seems heterogeneous, but mostly consis-

tent with normalizing drug effects on DMN in patients (in some

studies also compared with healthy controls), associated with a

measured clinical improvement in one study with amphetamines

and onewith atomoxetine. One trial found little differences onDMN

activity.

Conclusions

Psychostimulant drugs and atomoxetine are clin-

ically effective medications; DMN connectivity may partially

explain their action mechanisms and constitute a potential

response predictor. Further f-MRI studiesmight more deeply assess

the imaging-clinical relationships for each drug.

Introduction

The aim of this study was the analysis of dynam-

ics of motor cortex metabolite in the norm and in early stage of

schizophrenia in period of BOLD response to event related single

stimulus.

Objectives

The patients group consisted of 9 mails of 16–28 years

old in initial stage of schizophrenia and in remission. The group of

9 age matched healthy mails was used as a control.

Methods

Phillips Achieva 3.0 T scanner was used for the study.

Volume of interest in motor cortex was localized on the base of

fMRI. 1

Н М

R spectra were run using synchronization of FID sig-

nals acquisition (PRESS, TE = 30ms TR = 3000ms) with dynamics of

BOLD response at the same paradigm.

Results

The BOLD signal in both groups demonstrated maximum

at the 6th s after target stimulus, however its value was reliably

lover in schizophrenia in comparison with the control. The only

[NAA] in normal motor cortex was changed after stimulation. The

stable values of [NAA], [Cr] and [Cho] were observed in dynamic

of resting state as well. [NAA] in normal cortex statistically sig-

nificantly decreased at the 12th s after stimulus presentation and

returned to initial value at the 15th s.

Conclusion

Different behavior of [NAA] in the norm and

schizophrenia might be related with a difference in location (or

activity) of aspartoacylaze (ASPA). Decreased expression of gluta-

mate transporters in schizophrenia could also reduce consumption

of NAA as a source of acetate in synthesis of AcCoA which is used

for restoration of ATP.

Introduction

Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) occurs in

0.5% of persons over 65 years old. The etiology of NPH is still

unknown. Clinically NPH is characterised by cognitive deteriora-

tion, gait impairment and urinary incontinence. NPH is a possible

reversible cause of dementia. Neuroimaging techniques such as

computed tomography (CT) andmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

allow to assess typical brain changes in this disorder.

The objectives are to present the typical findings of NPH on CT and

MRI and to demonstrate differences betweenNPH and central brain

atrophy in neuroimaging.

Results

The imaging features of NPH include: supratentorial ven-

triculomegaly with callosal angle less than 90o, tight sulci at the

vertex and considerable out of proportion enlargement of Sylvian

fissures. In case of central brain atrophy there may be a predomi-

nance of ventriculomegaly and/or widened sulci without crowding

of the gyri at the vertex and callosal angle greater than 90o. In both

entities, the decrease of density in periventricular region may be

seen: in NPH could be a sign of transependymal oedema or in brain

atrophy as an accompanying leukoaraiosis. Additionally, it is pos-

sible to assess changes in flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on MRI:

in NPH an increased pulsatile CSF circulation in aqueduct as flow

void sign may be observed.

Conclusions

Correct diagnosis of NPH on CT or MRI in relation

to clinical data is very important. Treatment with ventriculoperi-

toneal shunt or third ventriculostomy may partially improve the
