Can attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder be considered a form of cerebellar dysfunction? by Valeria Isaac, Vladimir Lopez, Maria Josefina Escobar

“…While the cerebellum’s role in motor function, such as balance, motor coordination, and execution, is well recognized, ongoing research has evidenced its additional and fundamental role in neurocognitive development and executive function, including attention and social cognition, which are all areas of impairment commonly found in ADHD. Interestingly, neuroimaging studies have consistently shown differences in cerebellar volume and functional connectivity between ADHD and typically developing children. …”

Artery of Percheron Infarction: A Case Report of Bilateral Thalamic Stroke Presenting with Acute Encephalopathy by Charles Donohoe, Nooshin Kiani Nia, Patricia Carey, Vamsi Vemulapalli

“…Recognition of this condition as an acute stroke may be challenging due to various nonlocalized clinical presentations, given the wide range of neurological functions subserved by the thalamus. Prompt neuroimaging, preferably with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in conjunction with familiarity with this relatively rare vascular variation can facilitate initiation of appropriate time contingent thrombolytic treatment and improved long-term prognosis. …”
