Subcortical white matter lesions may be associated with cardiovascular disease. They may also be associated with multiple sclerosis, if the patient has other MS signs and symptoms.

What does low density area in subcortical white matter of left posterior parietal lobe mean?
ms
Few small ill defined irregular t2 flair hyperintensities subcortical white matter of bilateral frontal lobes ischemic demyelination is likely?
What treatment to be given in this case
What if your MRI scanned frontal and parietal white matter T2 hyperintensities what does this mean?
my husband has t2 intense foci in the subcortical white matter in the frontal and parietal reigon these are compatible with foci of chronic ischaemic change the finding is related to small vessel disease his mood swings are getting worse would this disease be a part of mood swings.
What does it mean the brain parenchyma shows periventricular T2 hyperintensity and a few scattered subcortical foci of increased T2 and flair signal intensity in the frontal lobes that are nonspecifi?
what does this mean? Impression: There are scattered foci of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity within the periventricular, deep and subcortical white matter. The findings are nonspecific but may be seen in mild to moderate small vessel ischemic changes. No evidence for acute infarct or hemorrhage.
What is Two punctate foci of T2 hyperintensity in the subcortical white matter of the lateral anterior left frontal lobe?
Can hyponatremia cause white matter suggestive of minimal chronic microvascular ischemic change. The grey-white differentiation is maintained. minimal chronic microvascular ischemic on a brain scan?
Function of white matter in the brain?
The white matter is the area of the brain where signals travel to other parts of the brain. It is located in the subcortical area.
If decorticate posturing is present the lesion is?
Anatomic location of the lesion would be below the cortex, in the white matter or the cerebral hemispheres or upper part of the brain stem.
What is the ICD-10 code for periventricular white matter lesion?
Dx Code - 348.8
What is the purpose of the frontal bone?

Are the limbic and subcortical regions of the brain the same?
'Subcortical structures' are areas of the brain below the cortex, which is the outermost layer (i.e., the grey matter). The limbic system is one example of a subcortical structure - although technically it isn't just one structure. The limbic system actually consists of a number of key areas related to sensory integration, learning, memory, emotionality, and decision-making. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system
What are the Functions of subcortical region of brain?
Cortical is a word referring to the cortex, so the subcortical region of the brain is literally 'anything beneath the cortex'; but, since the brain isn't arranged in flat layers, it may be easier to visualise this analogy: If you picture the brain as being half an orange, the outer skin (the zest) would equate to the grey matter of cerebral cortex, & the inner skin (the pith) to the white matter; everything else (the pulp & the pips of the orange) represents the subcortical structures, which include various ventricles & nuclei, the thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, & the parts that make up the brainstem. Subcortical pathways enable fast, unconscious reactions; so a reflex is a subcortical action.
What is the part of the brain composed of gray matter that controls emotion called?
Frontal lobe
