Brain atrophy, or cerebral atrophy, is a condition in which the brain or regions of the brain decrease or shrink in size. It ranges in severity, and the extent of change determines its impact. A mild degree of brain atrophy is not always a concern. Substantial brain atrophy can be associa...
This paper presents an extension and validation of a previously published methodology, referred to as RAVENS, for characterizing regional atrophy in the brain.

we assumed that microglial activation would occur as a stress reaction in the stress-related region in the brain. The relationship between atrophy and neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases has also been described25, and it has been hypothesised that altered microglial functions could lead to ...
