Optimising the unprotected airway with a prototype Jaw-Thrust-Device--a prospective randomised cross-over study.

30 Oct 2009 Despite being a standard procedure during induction of anaesthesia, facemask ventilation can be a major challenge especially for inexperienced anaesthetists. We manufactured a Jaw-Thrust-Device designed to keep the patient's jaws in an optimised ... Read more...

Processing of auditory location changes after horizontal head rotation.

12 Oct 2009 Under natural conditions, our sound localization capabilities enable us to move constantly while keeping a stable representation of our auditory environment. However, since most auditory studies focus on head-restrained conditions, it is still ... Read more...

Direction-specific disruption of subcortical visual behavior and receptive fields in mice lacking the beta2 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

12 Oct 2009 Retinotopic mapping is a basic feature of visual system organization, but its role in processing visual information is unknown. Mutant mice lacking the beta2 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor have imprecise maps in both visual cortex (V1) ... Read more...
