Vagus nerve stimulation for refractory epilepsy in children: More to VNS than seizure frequency reduction.

13 Dec 2009 PURPOSE: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is used increasingly as adjunctive therapy for refractory epilepsy. Studies of VNS in children report mainly seizure frequency reduction as a measure of efficacy and clinical details are often scanty. We report ... Read more...

Stimulus-induced and state-dependent sustained gamma activity is tightly coupled to the hemodynamic response in humans.

2 Nov 2009 A prompt behavioral response to a stimulus depends both on the salience of the stimulus as well as the subject's preparedness. Thus, both stimulus properties and cognitive factors, such as attention, may determine the strength of neuronal ... Read more...

Mental training enhances attentional stability: neural and behavioral evidence.

19 Oct 2009 The capacity to stabilize the content of attention over time varies among individuals, and its impairment is a hallmark of several mental illnesses. Impairments in sustained attention in patients with attention disorders have been associated with ... Read more...
