The magnetic apraxia of Denny-Brown.

چکیده
Editors’ Note: Commenting on “The magnetic apraxia of Denny-Brown,” Dr. Hassan points out that magnetic apraxia is related to frontal lobe lesion and not parietal lobe dysfunction as suggested in the text. Dr. Peluso, author of the Video NeuroImage, acknowledges the mistake and a correction appears on page 1483. In response to “Mechanisms of memory impairment in epilepsy depend on age at disease onset,” Dr. Heilman suggests that medications taken at an early age may have caused impaired autobiographic memory and that future studies should consider the influence of state-dependent memory in patients with early-onset epilepsy. Rayner et al., authors of the study, agree with the concept of state-dependent retrieval dysfunction related to medications, but explain that their study was able to reject the effect of current pharmacotherapy intensity and that no medication seemed particularly linked to poor autobiographic memory. —Chafic Karam, MD, and Robert C.

Is the intact side really intact? Perseverative responses in patients with unilateral neglect: a productive manifestation.
The main defective manifestations of extra-personal unilateral spatial neglect concern the side of space contralateral to the hemispheric lesion (contralesional). Since the disorder is more frequent and severe after damage to the right hemisphere, patients typically fail to explore the left side and ignore stimuli located in that sector of space. The patients' behaviour in the side of space ips...
متن کامل‘An investigation of the nervous control of defecation’ by Denny-Brown and Robertson: a classic paper revisited
In 1935 two young neurologists, Derek Denny-Brown and E. Graeme Robertson, published an article explaining the mechanisms underlying human defaecation based on a manometric study in patients with sacral root and spinal cord lesions, and normal subjects. This article is still routinely cited in studies of rectal and sphincter ani function. Unfortunately, however, the article itself is not writte...
متن کاملChemical Synthesis of Nano-Crystalline Nickel-Zinc Ferrite as a Magnetic Pigment
The nano-crystalline nickel-zinc ferrite was prepared via chemical synthesis. Zinc nitrate, nickel nitrate, iron nitrate hydrate, citric acid and ethylene glycol were used as precursor materials. Crystallization behavior of the precursor was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Nanoparticle phases can change amorphous to spinel ferrite depending on the calcination temperature and crystallite siz...
متن کاملFunctional brain imaging in apraxia.
BACKGROUND An extensive literature describes structural lesions in apraxia, but few studies have used functional neuroimaging. We used positron emission tomography (PET) to characterize relative cerebral glucose metabolism in a 65-year-old, right-handed woman with progressive decline in ability to manipulate objects, write, and articulate speech. OBJECTIVE To characterize functional brain org...
