Seeing sounds and hearing colors: an event-related potential study of auditory-visual synesthesia.

29 Sep 2009 In auditory-visual synesthesia, sounds automatically elicit conscious and reliable visual experiences. It is presently unknown whether this reflects early or late processes in the brain. It is also unknown whether adult audiovisual synesthesia ... Read more...

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in vestibular schwannoma surgery: advances and clinical implications.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring has become an integral part of vestibular schwannoma surgery. The aim of this article was to review the different techniques of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in vestibular ... Read more...

A chimera analysis of prestin knock-out mice.

21 Sep 2009 A chimera is a genetic composite containing a unique mix of cells derived from more than one zygote. This mouse model allows one to learn how cells of contrasting genotype functionally interact in vivo. Here, we investigate the effect that different ... Read more...
