Cortical deactivation induced by subcortical network dysfunction in limbic seizures.

12 Oct 2009 Normal human consciousness may be impaired by two possible routes: direct reduced function in widespread cortical regions or indirect disruption of subcortical activating systems. The route through which temporal lobe limbic seizures impair ... Read more...


Intraoperative monitoring of cerebral blood flow by laser speckle contrast analysis.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Currently, reliable low-cost and noninvasive techniques to assess cerebral perfusion in the operating room are not available. The authors report on their first clinical experience with laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA) as a ... Read more...


A multisensory cortical network for understanding speech in noise.

30 Aug 2009 In noisy environments, listeners tend to hear a speaker's voice yet struggle to understand what is said. The most effective way to improve intelligibility in such conditions is to watch the speaker's mouth movements. Here we identify the neural ... Read more...
