Children at risk for developmental coordination disorder: judgement of changes in action capabilities.

17 Nov 2009 In three separate manipulations, a group of children at risk for developmental coordination disorder (DCD; five males, seven females; mean age 11y 6mo [SD 6.8mo] who were at or below the 15th centile on the Movement ABC) and a group of typically ...

Sleep deprivation differentially impairs cognitive performance in abstinent methylenedioxymethamphetamine ("Ecstasy") users.

2 Nov 2009 Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; "Ecstasy") is a popular recreational drug and brain serotonin (5-HT) neurotoxin. Neuroimaging data indicate that some human MDMA users develop persistent deficits in brain 5-HT neuronal markers. Although the ...

Decreased firing of striatal neurons related to licking during acquisition and overtraining of a licking task.

2 Nov 2009 Neurons that fire in relation to licking, in the ventral part of the dorsolateral striatum (DLS), were studied during acquisition and performance of a licking task in rats for 14 sessions (2 h/d). Task learning was indicated by fewer errors of ...

Dynamic encoding of movement direction in motor cortical neurons.

2 Nov 2009 When we perform a skilled movement such as reaching for an object, we can make use of prior information, for example about the location of the object in space. This helps us to prepare the movement, and we gain improved accuracy and speed during ...

The responses of visual neurons in the frontal eye field are biased for saccades.

2 Nov 2009 Previous research suggests that visually responsive neurons in the frontal eye field (FEF) respond to visual targets even when they are not the goal of a saccadic eye movement. These results raise the possibility that these neurons respond to visual ...

Olfactory dysfunction after subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery. Clinical article.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Olfactory dysfunction has an important impact on quality of life. In patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), anosmia has mainly been reported after surgery for aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery (ACoA). The authors studied ...

Psychometric properties of the Rivermead Motor Assessment: its utility in stroke.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the psychometric properties of the Rivermead Motor Assessment by Rasch analysis and conventional statistics to improve its clinical utility. METHODS: A total of 107 patients after stroke were evaluated using the Rivermead ...

Central sensory-motor deficit after uneventful single-dose spinal morphine administration in a patient with preexisting migraine headaches.

30 Oct 2009 Hemiplegic migraine is a condition associated with vascular alteration of the central nervous system and transient neurologic deficits. Permanent morphine-induced motor dysfunction has been reported after spinal ischemia. We report a persisting ...

Reach-to-grasp interjoint coordination for moving object in children with hemiplegia.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate interjoint coordination in children with hemiplegia as they reach to grasp objects, in both static and dynamic conditions. An ad hoc robotic device was used to study the dynamic condition. DESIGN: Observational study. ...

Robot-based rehabilitation of the upper limbs in multiple sclerosis: feasibility and preliminary results.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To make a preliminary evaluation of the feasibility of a robot-based rehabilitation protocol for the improvement of upper limb motor co-ordination in a group of patients with multiple sclerosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seven patients with ...
