A primary acoustic startle circuit: lesion and stimulation studies.
The latency of the acoustic startle reflex in the rat is 8 msec, measured from tone onset to the beginning of the electromyographic response in the hindleg. This extremely short latency indicates that only a few synapses could be involved in some primary acoustic startle circuit. Acoustic startle is being used as a model system for studying habituation, sensitization, prepulse inhibition, class...
متن کاملMR measurement of normal and pathologic brainstem diameters.
The dimensions of the brainstem were measured on magnetic resonance (MR) images to provide criteria for detecting brainstem enlargement. Twenty-eight normal adult subjects had MR imaging with sagittal partial-saturation and spin-echo sequences. Four patients with brainstem gliomas and three with cerebellar atrophy were also studied. Five measurements were made: (A) the distance between the inte...
متن کامل[Infantile eczema with special reference to the pathologic lesion].
802 DR. SEDLIS: A brief review of the clinical features of a group of patients with eczema will be followed by a report of special studies of the pathology of the skin. Eczema is a frequent, important skin disease in early life. It has been a puzzling problem for the physician and an exasperating one for parents and patients alike. We began our study of eczema about 1 year ago. During this year...
متن کاملSound movement detection deficit due to a brainstem lesion.
Auditory psychophysical testing was carried out on a patient with a central pontine lesion involving the trapezoid body, who presented with a deficit in sound localisation and sound movement detection. A deficit in the analysis of time and intensity differences between the ears was found, which would explain the deficit in detection of sound movement. The impaired detection of sound movement, d...
متن کاملTeaching video neuroimages: unilateral RIMLF lesion: pathologic eye movement torsion indicates lesion side and site.
A 45-year-old woman presented with acute vertigo and a vertical gaze palsy. Examination with Frenzel goggles showed that during vertical saccades the eyes were torsionally deviating to the left (counterclockwise from the patient’s point of view) and slowly returned to the initial zero torsion after the saccade (video on the Neurology Web site at www.neurology. org; figure 1). This eye movement ...
