Macrograph 1: Decrease of the brain volume – atrophy – can be caused by various reasons, however, their macroscopic appearance is similar, regardless their orgin: the gyral thinning leads to the flaring of the sulci. (From the image-archive of the Semmelweis University, 2nd Department of Pathology–collection of Attila Kovács)
