Recognition of affective prosody in brain-damaged patients and healthy controls: a neurophysiological study using EEG and whole-head MEG.

30 May 2009 A passive oddball experiment was used in which stimuli were emotional exclamations differing in their affective tone. In both electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), deviants elicited an N300 component, sometimes accompanied ... Read more...

The role of neuropsychological functioning in cancer survivors' return to work one year after diagnosis.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between neuropsychological functioning and the ability to work in cancer survivors. METHODS: The study involved a consecutive cohort of 45 patients who had received a primary ... Read more...

Attitudes toward neonatal intensive care treatment of preterm infants with a high risk of developing long-term disabilities.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVES: To assess (1) the differences in attitudes toward disabilities of 3 groups of subjects involved in neonatal care decision-making: health care workers, mothers of term infants, and parents of preterm infants, and (2) the impact of subject ... Read more...
