Cardiovascular Risk and Hippocampal Thickness in Alzheimer’s Disease

Figure 1

Cortical unfolding of the medial temporal lobe. Following manual segmentation of white matter and CSF (a), the resulting grey matter volume (c) is computationally unfolded and flattened ((d), right hemisphere). Boundaries between subregions are delineated on the original high-resolution MRI data (b) and later mathematically projected to flatmap space. Abbreviations: ant. CADG: anterior cornu ammonis fields and dentate gyrus, CA23DG: cornu ammonis fields 2,3 and dentate gyrus, CA1: CAfield 1, SUB: subiculum, ERC: entorhinal cortex, PRC: perirhinal cortex, PHC: parahippocampal cortex, FUS: fusiform cortex (boundary depicts the medial fusiform vertex).
