Sclerosis Laminar Cortical

Laminar cortical sclerosis (SLC) is a process of thickening of the cerebral cortex that is associated with various brain diseases and the development of neurological dysfunction. SLC is a diffuse change in the structural and functional integrity of the cerebral cortex. Unlike other types of sclerosis, such as osteochondrosis or multifocal sclerosis, SLC has characteristic signs and manifestations.

Sclerosis refers to defective scar tissue that forms as a result of local diseases or injuries. In the case of laminar cortical sclerosis, this tissue occupies a volume that a person is usually unable to think and remember. The person himself may be fully conscious, but the lack of memory and concentration functions will lead to decreased performance and deterioration of adaptation in society.

In addition, laminar cortical sclerosis can manifest itself in the form of a persistent course of anxiety, depressive symptoms, impaired spatial orientation, motor problems and other symptoms from which the patient suffers.
