Moving Beyond Ruling Out Epilepsy: It Is PNES!
Commentary Patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) have historically lived in the borderland between neurologists and psychiatrists, with neither group taking ownership of patient care. Past approaches to the diagnosis of PNES have largely focused on " removing the diagnosis of epilepsy " and sending the patient for psychiatric but not necessarily neurologic follow-up. Making the...
متن کاملRuling out and ruling in neural codes.
The subject of neural coding has generated much debate. A key issue is whether the nervous system uses coarse or fine coding. Each has different strengths and weaknesses and, therefore, different implications for how the brain computes. For example, the strength of coarse coding is that it is robust to fluctuations in spike arrival times; downstream neurons do not have to keep track of the deta...
متن کاملMoving beyond Metaphors: Understanding the Mind for What It Is
In the last 50 years, there have been three major approaches to understanding cognitive systems and theorizing about the nature of the mind: symbolicism, connectionism, and dynamicism. Each of these approaches has relied heavily on a preferred metaphor for understanding the mind/brain. Most famously, symbolicism, or classical cognitive science, relies on the “mind as computer” metaphor. Under t...
متن کاملRuling Out Bacillus anthracis
Optimization of methods for ruling out Bacillus anthracis leads to increased yields, faster turnaround times, and a lighter workload. We used 72 environmental non-B. anthracis bacilli to validate methods for ruling out B. anthracis. Most effective were the use of horse blood agar, motility testing after isolates had a 2-h incubation in trypticase soy broth, and screening isolates with a B. anth...
متن کاملRuling out chaos in compact binary systems.
We investigate the orbits of compact binary systems during the final inspiral stage before coalescence by integrating the post-Newtonian equations of motion. We include spin-orbit and spin-spin coupling, which, according to a recent study [J. Levin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3515 (2000)], may cause the orbits to appear chaotic. To examine this claim, we calculate the divergence of nearby trajectorie...
