Laminar cortical necrosis in mitochondrial disorders.

4 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Laminar cortical necrosis, defined as focal or diffuse necrosis of one or more cortical lamina, represents an increasingly recognized neuropathological endpoint of vascular, endocrine, immunologic, metabolic, or toxic conditions, of ... Read more...

Time course of evoked-potential changes in different forms of anomia in aphasia.

30 Jul 2009 Impaired word production after brain damage can be due to impairment at lexical-semantic or at lexical-phonological levels of word encoding. These processes are thought to involve different brain regions and to have different time courses. The ... Read more...
