STRUCTURE: Frontal Lobe
PAINTER: Lisa Koski
DATE: Began April 1997, will continue
with each new addition to my
behavioural study of patients with frontal-lobe
lesions (approximate
completion date Sept 1998).
SPACE: Talairach/Native?
VOLUMES:} It's all on my optical disk, koski-1, on the Neuropsychology
shelf,
LABELS: } in directories: frontal_patients_mri (native),
frontal_patients_mrital(Talairach transformed),
painted_frontal_lesions (labels).
THRESHOLD: No??
COMMENTS: I'm not segmenting brain structures: I'm colouring
in lesions.
This is for my dissertation research in which I'm
administering a
series
of tests of attention to patients with frontal resections.
I'm simply painting the resected area. They
are patients who had
surgery for a) intractable epilepsy, b) low grade
tumour, c) abscess, or d) AVM resection. The resections
are always unilateral,
and the
MRI report contains no reference to an abnormality outside
the frontal
lobe.
