Anosognosia for Motor Impairment Following Left Brain Damage
Anosognosia for motor impairment has been linked to lesions of the right hemisphere. However, left hemisphere damaged patients have often been excluded from investigation because of their associated language deficits. In this study we assessed anosognosia for motor disorders in a group of left hemisphere damaged patients using 2 tools that assess the presence of unawareness-a structured intervi...
متن کاملChange of Nurr1 expression in mouse hippocampal CA3 region following excitotoxic neuronal damage
Objective(s): Nuclear receptor-related protein 1 (Nurr1), one of immediate-early genes, is a member of orphan nuclear receptor family. The aim of this study was to investigate the time-dependent change of Nurr1 protein expression in the mouse hippocampal CA3 region following kainic acid (KA)-induced excitotoxic neuronal damage.Materials and Methods:</...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal motifs 'remembered' in neuronal networks following profound hypothermia
Surgical procedures using hypothermic temperatures have been linked to complications such as seizures, impaired mental development and impaired memory. Although there is some evidence that the profound hypothermia (<12 ( composite function)C) used in these procedures may be contributing to these neurological impairments, skepticism remains because of lack of evidence from experimental studies i...
متن کاملSelective, non-lateralized impairment of motor imagery following right parietal damage.
Using variants of a visually guided pointing task, in which subjects make pointing movements towards targets of varying sizes, we explored motor imagery in a patient with visual neglect. When this patient actually pointed towards targets of different sizes he showed the normal correlation between movement duration (MD) and target size, such that MD increased as target size decreased. In contras...
متن کاملThreats to Amphibians in Tropical Regions
Tropical amphibian populations have undergone drastic population declines and extinctions in recent decades. Threats to tropical amphibians include habitat loss, invasive species, pollution, infectious diseases, and climate change. Successful conservation of remaining amphibian populations is hindered by a lack of funding, a shortage of political and social will, and an incomplete understanding...
