Depletion of corticotrophin-releasing factor neurons in the pontine micturition area in multiple system atrophy.

abstract：:Volumetric magnetic resonance imaging analyses of 30 subjects were undertaken to quantify the global and temporal lobe atrophy in semantic dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Three groups of 10 subjects were studied: semantic dementia patients, Alzheimer's disease patients, and control subjects. The temporal lobe struct...
