Pediatric versus adult MS: similar or different?

In this review the most important aspects of pediatric multiple sclerosis are presented and compared with the adult form. Some findings appear peculiar of pediatric MS: a. Clinical manifestations are similar in adolescents and adults with MS, however in very young subjects MS frequency at onset is similar in males and females, with a higher frequency of brainstem/cerebellar involvement and acut...

Similar or Different Advisors 1 Running head: SIMILAR OR DIFFERENT ADVISORS THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION FROM SIMILAR OR DIFFERENT ADVISORS ON JUDGMENT

On a daily basis, people rely on others’ advice to make judgments. In two studies, we examine the differential impacts of similarity between the source of the advice and the person making the judgment in two settings: judging others’ behavior and judging one’s own actions. We find that similarity interacts with the target of the judgment. In particular, information received from a different adv...

Homeopathy and placebo--synonym, similar or different?

Neural correlates of task and source switching: Similar or different?

Controlling everyday behaviour relies on the ability to configure appropriate task sets and guide attention towards information relevant to the current context and goals. Here, we ask whether these two aspects of cognitive control have different neural bases. Electrical brain activity was recorded while sixteen adults performed two discrimination tasks. The tasks were performed on either a visu...

Human cytochrome P450 maximal activities in pediatric versus adult liver.

Drug clearance is often higher in children than in adults, particularly when normalized to body weight. We previously showed that liver volume normalized to body weight was inversely related to age, but that the systemic clearance of a nonspecific cytochrome P450 (CYP) substrate (antipyrine) was higher in young children compared with adults even when normalized per liver volume. Our purpose her...
