The fornix of the brain is a C-shaped structure that projects from the posterior hippocampus to the septal area and hypothalamus. As the hippocampus terminates near the splenium of the corpus callosum, the fimbria becomes a detached bundle, the crus of the fornix. The two crura merge medially to form the body of the fornix. 2, record 1, English, - crus%20of%20fornix

Alzheimer disease(AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive and behavioral impairment that significantly interferes with social and occupational functioning. It is an incurable disease with a long preclinical period and progressive course. In AD, plaques develop in the hippocampus, a structure deep in the brain that helps to encode memories, and in other areas of the cerebral cortex that are involved in thinking and making decisions. 2, record 2, English, - Alzheimer%20disease

Sur le plan anatomopathologique, la maladie d'Alzheimer est caractérisée par la présence au niveau du cortex d'une dégénérescence neurofibrillaire (DNF) et de plaques séniles. Ces dernières correspondent à des dépôts de substance amyloïde (amyloïde bêta). [...] Cliniquement, la maladie d'Alzheimer débute par des troubles de la mémoire à court terme (ou mémoire de travail) [...], puis suivra l'atteinte de la mémoire à long terme. [...] Les troubles du langage oral et surtout écrit, des manifestations apraxiques et agnosiques apparaîtront ultérieurement. L'atteinte des fonctions exécutives (perte d'initiative, des capacités de jugement et de raisonnement), l'apparition des troubles psychiques (syndrome dépressif) et du comportement (agitation, agressivité, errance, perte d'hygiène, altération des rythmes de sommeil) complètent le tableau de la démence. 4, record 2, French, - maladie%20d%27Alzheimer

Por el contrario, si se emplea este término aisladamente para referirse a dicha enfermedad, se convierte en un sustantivo común, por lo que ha de escribirse con minúscula inicial y con tilde: alzhéimer. 2, record 2, Spanish, - enfermedad%20de%20Alzheimer

Subtle shifts in the ratio between pro-and antiapoptotic molecules after activation of corticosteroid receptors decide neuronal fate. Glucocorticoid receptor(GR) activation induces apoptosis of granule cells in the hippocampus. In contrast, neuroprotection is seen after mineralocorticoid receptor(MR) activation. To date there is no in vivo evidence for direct interactions between corticosteroids and any of the key regulatory molecules of programmed cell death. 1, record 3, English, - antiapoptotic

Dans quelle mesure les souvenirs émotionnels sont plutôt explicites ou plutôt implicites est une question qui n'est pas encore complètement clarifiée. En fait, il semble que les deux cas de figure soient valables. Il est certain que les gens peuvent réagir à certains stimulus qu'ils peuvent identifier par une réaction de peur, mais nous avons également vu qu'ils peuvent être effrayés par des situations dont ils ne semblent pas avoir de souvenir particulier. En effet, il existe une pathologie assez commune qui se caractérise par des accès de panique, un type de trouble qui fait que les personnes qui en sont atteintes présentent une anxiété marquée sans être capables d'en identifier la cause. C'est pour cette raison que nous considérons la mémoire émotionnelle comme une forme spéciale de mémoire qui possède également un substrat anatomique unique, à savoir l'amygdale [...] 2, record 6, French, - m%C3%A9moire%20%C3%A9motionnelle

Any marine fish of several related genera, especially Hippocampus, of the family Syngnathidae, which includes the pipefishes. The body is small and compressed and covered with bony plates raised into tubercles or spines. The tail is prehensile, and the tubular mouth sucks in small shellfish and larvae as food. The head and foreparts, usually carried upright, resemble those of a horse. 2, record 15, English, - seahorse

Several neuropeptides are widely distributed in regions of the central nervous system(CNS) which are associated with cognitive functions. Multiple studies on postmortem Alzheimer's disease(AD) brains have shown depleted neuropeptide content and morphological abnormalities of somatostatin(SS)-containing interneurons in the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex... AD patients were found to have reduced 125I-Tyr11-SS-14 receptor densities in the frontal cortex,.. Excitotoxic lesion of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis(NbM) with ibotenic acid transiently decreased neocortical SS receptor binding densities indicating that a subpopulation of SS receptors is located on cholinergic afferents... 1, record 19, English, - nucleus%20basalis%20magnocellularis
