MRI was used to determine the volume of lateral ventricles (an indirect and inverse measure of brain volume) and the volume of white matter lesions (an indirect index of small vessel ...

For patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), endovascular treatment (EVT) improves left ...

Even when consensus for the locus of thought moved northward into the head, it was not the brain that was believed to be the sine qua non, but the empty spaces within it, called ventricles ...
