Hayton, Samantha M., Tony Kriss, Angie Wade, and David P. R. Muller. Effects on neural function of repleting vitamin E–deficient rats with -tocopherol. J Neurophysiol 95: 2553–2559, 2006. First published January 4, 2006; doi:10.1152/jn.00842.2005. A severe and chronic deficiency of vitamin E ( -tocopherol) is associated with a characteristic neurological syndrome with typical “clinical,” neurop...

BACKGROUND Patients with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit difficulties in multiple attentional functions. Although high heritability rates suggest a strong genetic impact, aetiological pathways from genes and environmental factors to the ADHD phenotype are not well understood. Tracking the time course of deviant task processing using event-related electrophysiological bra...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to define the atrial electrical substrate in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) occurring in the absence of overt structural heart disease and to assess if electrophysiological parameters could predict AF recurrence after radiofrequency ablation in this population. METHODS AND RESULTS 45 consecutive patients (39 male, age 59 ± 10 years) ...

The field of cardiac electrophysiology tries to abstract, describe and finally model the electrical characteristics a heartbeat. With recent advances in electrophysiology, models have become more powerful descriptive as ever. However, advance inverse electrophysiological modeling, i.e. creating from measurements such ECG, less investigated smoothness simulated ECGs w.r.t. parameters need be fur...

in order to identify the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of childhood guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) in east azarbaijan province, clinical and electrophysiological data on 40 consecutive children with gbs, admitted to tabriz children's medical center from march 21st 1999 to march 20th 2002, were analyzed. all patients received intravenous immunoglobulin, 400 mg /kg/ day fo...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is undoubtedly one of the serious and growing public health challenges in the world today. There is an unmet need for new and effective preventative and therapeutic treatment approaches for AD, particularly at early stages of the disease. However, the underlying mechanism against Aβ-induced electrophysiological alteration in cultured hippocampal pyramidal neurons  is st...
