On the axial stack of magnetic resonance imaging slices, regional brain volumes were measured either by automated segmentation (full brain, total cerebrospinal fluid, and ventricular volume) or manual drawing with help of a neuroanatomy atlas (frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes, gray matter component of the lobes, cerebellar hemispheres, and hippocampal complexes).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: KS patients performed significantly lower than controls on language-related tasks exploring verbal processing speed and verbal executive function. They were diagnosed with significant enlargement of ventricular volume and bilateral reduction of cerebellar hemispheres. Furthermore, after separation of participants according to handedness and after correction of regional brain volumes for atrophy, a significant reduction of left temporal lobe volume was found in KS compared with controls. Ventricular volume was inversely correlated with cognitive function, whereas left temporal lobe volume was positively correlated with language-related tasks.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion: This study hypothesizes that supernumerary X-chromosome and\/or congenital hypogonadism provoke structural alterations in the subcortical pathways involved in language processing, thus providing a neurobiological substrate for cognitive deficits in KS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2005-1596","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,11]],"date-time":"2006-01-11T01:33:41Z","timestamp":1136943221000},"page":"1423-1427","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["The Structural Brain Correlates of Cognitive Deficits in Adults with Klinefelter\u2019s Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1210","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"Itti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology (E.I., A.M., F.S.M.), Torrance, California 90509"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I.
