Most Scottish neurologists do not apply the 2010 McDonald criteria when diagnosing multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND The diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis have evolved over time and currently the 2010 McDonald criteria are the most widely accepted. These criteria allow the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis to be made at the clinically isolated syndrome stage provided certain criteria are met on a single magnetic resonance brain scan. Our hypothesis was that neurologists in Scotland did not u...
متن کاملWhy monkeys do not get multiple sclerosis (spontaneously)
The goal of this review is to apply an evolutionary lens to understanding the origins of multiple sclerosis (MS), integrating three broad observations. First, only humans are known to develop MS spontaneously. Second, humans have evolved large brains, with characteristically large amounts of metabolically costly myelin. This myelin is generated over long periods of neurologic development-and pe...
متن کاملWhen do neural codes come from convex or good covers?
How does your brain keep track of your position in space? In a familiar environment, hippocampalneurons known as place cells become associated to regions of space known as their receptive fields.The firing patterns of place cells form a neural code. Modeling receptive fields as convex open regionsof Euclidian space agrees closely with experimental results. Given a set of place field...
متن کاملAnomia for common names and geographical names with preserved retrieval of names of people: a semantic memory disorder.

Even though his performance on McKenna's (1997) Category Specific Naming Test was at the first percentile, he consistently recalled the names of familiar people as successfully as controls. It is argued that the pattern of perfo...
