Treatment for cerebral aneurysms is performed because aneurysm poses a risk of future neurologic deficits due to intracranial hemorrhage. Such surgical and endovascular treatment are prophylactic prevent harm patients. Ironically, these procedures themselves pose similar risks. During aneurysms, intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) can be used assess the functional state brain. Thr...

Smoking (tobacco addiction) is the most significant of the modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Mistakenly described as a "habit" or "behavioral choice," the onset of tobacco addiction quickly follows the acquisition of an ability to inhale cigarette smoke and is reflected in a transformation of neurophysiologic function and nicotine-receptor density. Thereafter, comfort and a degree of neur...

We have explored using neurophysiologic patterns as an approach for developing a deeper understanding of how teams collaborate when solving time-critical, complex real-world problems. Fifteen students solved substance abuse management simulations individually, and then in teams of three while measures of mental workload (WL) and engagement (E) were generated by electroencephalography (EEG). Hig...

The term "brain (or neural) oscillations" refers to the rhythmic and/or repetitive electrical activity generated spontaneously and in response to stimuli by neural tissue in the central nervous system. The importance of brain oscillations in sensory-cognitive processes has become increasingly evident. It has also become clear that event-related oscillations are modified in many types of neuropa...

Sensory tricks are various manoeuvres that can ameliorate dystonia. Common characteristics are well known, but their variety is wide, sensory stimulation is not necessarily the critical feature, and their physiology is unknown. To enumerate the various forms of sensory tricks and describe their nature, research findings and theories that may elucidate their neurophysiologic mechanism, we review...

and the navigated TMS results. It is also seen in reviews [6] methodological aspects, clinical applications, and future directions of TMS-based mapping. They concluded that noninvasive brain stimulation is an important investigative tool and has potential therapeutic applications in cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology, psychiatry, and neurology. TMS is particularly useful to establish and m...

In order for chiropractic to reach its full potential as a healthcare profession, it must be universally integrated into the mainstream healthcare model. For this to be realized, chiropractic must fi rst be unconditionally embraced by mainstream science. With growing competition for today’s healthcare dollar, health policy makers are increasingly relying on an evidence basis to guide decision m...
