چکیده
Auditory brainstem responses were recorded in normal children (NL) and children clinically diagnosed with a learning problem (LP). These responses were recorded to both a click stimulus and the formant transition portion of a speech syllable /da/. While no latency differences between the NL and LP populations were seen in responses to the click stimuli, the syllable /da/ did elicit latency differences between these two groups. Deficits in cortical processing of signals in noise were seen for those LP subjects with delayed brainstem responses to the /da/, but not for LPs with normal brainstem measures. Preliminary findings indicate that training may be beneficial to LP subjects with brainstem processing delays. q 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Presenilin 1 mutations are the major cause of autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease: here we identify a new missense mutation causing a methionine to valine change at codon 233. This codon is homologous to a pathogenic presenilin 2 mutation with the same base change (ATG to GTG) and amino acid change (M239V). This mutation causes disease with an exceptionally early onset age (~30 years) in whi...

Behavioral studies suggest that perceptual grouping by proximity occurs earlier than grouping by similarity. This notion is supported by recent electrophysiological evidence that proximity grouping generates earlier occipital activation relative to grouping by shape similarity. The current work further investigated neural substrates that differentiate grouping by proximity and grouping by colou...

A number of findings indicate gender differences in language-related functional hemispheric brain asymmetry. To test if such gender-specific laterality is already present at the level of vowel-processing, the auditory evoked magnetic field was recorded in healthy right-handed male and female participants in response to the German synthetic vowels [a], [e] and [i]. Female participants exhibited ...

Limited optic nerve crush is a model of diffuse mechanical axon injury, the most prevalent cause of secondary neurodegeneration after closed head neurotrauma. In this report, a protocol is presented which allows for the rapid screening of differential gene expression in the inner retina, as well as the optic nerve, in response to partial nerve crush. To prove the reliability of the method, prot...

We studied the roles of mGlu2/3 receptors (mGlu2/3) in glutamatergic transmission at corticostriatal synapses in mice brain slices. Perfusion of the selective mGlu2/3 agonists LY354740 and L-CCG1 caused the long term depression (LTD) of evoked synaptic responses. Photonic and electronic microscopy showed mGlu2/3 on axonal fibers and glial processes but not on striatal dendrites. mGlu2/3-LTD was...
