Brain edema formation and neurological impairment after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Global cerebral edema is an independent risk factor for early death and poor outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In the present study, the time course of brain edema formation, neurological deficits, and neuronal cell loss were ... Read more...

Masseter reflex in the study of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 and type 3.

29 Sep 2009 In this investigation we assess the utility of the masseter reflex for diagnostic purposes in autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias. We studied the masseter reflex electrophysiologically in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2, 10 patients) and type ... Read more...

Vagal gustatory reflex circuits for intraoral food sorting behavior in the goldfish: cellular organization and neurotransmitters.

18 Sep 2009 The sense of taste is crucial in an animal's determination as to what is edible and what is not. This gustatory function is especially important in goldfish, who utilize a sophisticated oropharyngeal sorting mechanism to separate food from substrate ... Read more...
