Anthropometric study on correlation of age with the size of subcortical nuclei and ventricular system of the brain and its implication in degenerative disease
Aditij Dhamija Lydia Shobha Andrade
As age progresses, the size of important structures of brain (such as subcortical nuclei, ventricular system) changes. These changes will help neurosurgeons & neurologists in early detection of degenerative diseases and treat accordingly. Apart from this, the size of these structures prove crucial in medico-legal cases where determination of age may be unreliable by conventional methods. Therefore, this radiological study aims to analyse the correlation between the age of the person and size of various subcortical nuclei. (Funding agency: ICMR)
