What Is Culinary Medicine and What Does It Do?

The subiculum: what it does, what it might do, and what neuroanatomy has yet to tell us.

The subiculum is a pivotal but under-investigated structure positioned between the hippocampus proper and entorhinal and other cortices, as well as a range of subcortical structures. The subiculum has a range of electrophysiological and functional properties which are quite distinct from its input areas; given the widespread set of cortical and subcortical areas with which it interacts, it is a...

Luria's three-step test: what is it and what does it tell us?

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to determine if the three-step Luria test is useful for differentiating between cognitive disorders. METHODS A retrospective record review of performance on the three-step Luria test was conducted on 383 participants from a university-based dementia clinic. The participants ranged in their diagnosis from frontotemporal dementia (FTD; n = 43), Alzheimer ...

Control Entropy: What Is It and What Does It Tell Us?

Complex tasks of motor control in humans, such as locomotion or postural control, exhibit patterns of variability that until recently have been indiscernible from random noise. Tools from the field of non-linear dynamical systems have been increasingly applied to measurements of these tasks and changes in these complex patterns have been identified. A particular tool, control entropy (CE), is a...
