Dissolved organic matter enhances transport of PAHs to aquatic organisms.

29 Sep 2009 In this study, the uptake of pyrene and benzo[b]fluoranthene by an aquatic worm (Lumbriculus variegatus) and a poly(dimethylsiloxane) coated glass fiber was studied at different humic acid concentrations. The accumulation of pyrene was not affected ... Read more...

Association of ideomotor apraxia with frontal gray matter volume loss in corticobasal syndrome.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine the brain areas associated with specific components of ideomotor apraxia (IMA) in corticobasal syndrome (CBS). DESIGN: Case-control and cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-eight patients with CBS and 14 control ... Read more...

Neuropsychological perspectives on the mechanisms of imitation.

25 Aug 2009 Cognitive neuroscientists have contributed to the understanding of imitation according to their expertise. Neuropsychologists first established over a century ago that lesions to the left hemisphere of right-handed individuals lead to a dramatic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Apraxia, Ideomotor'

Definition: A form of APRAXIA characterized by an acquired inability to carry out a complex motor activity despite the ability to mentally formulate the action. This condition has been attributed to a disruption of connections between the dominant parietal cortex and supplementary and premotor cortical regions in both hemispheres. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p57)
