Magnetization transfer contrast is not a specific indicator of increased fibrosis in diseased liver; steatosis may influence some perfusion parameters.
The study corroborated clinical use of diadochokinesis tasks to test for aspects of cerebellar integrity. The data do not support the literature emphasizing basal ganglia mediation of this type of coordinated movement. Cerebellar medial and vermal regions (in connection with central nuclei) are proposed as the locus within the cerebellum for mediating complexity, that is, the effective integration of separate limb movements that proceed in an asynchronous but systematic fashion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
