The susceptibility of the brain in childhood to anoxic damage during epileptic convulsions is still not yet widely recognized in spite of the pathological studies by Scholz, summarized in his recent monograph on the subject (1951). Two years ago Meyer and his collaborators reported the case of a boy aged 9, who, following status epilepticus developing in the course of Still's disease, was found...

We report a peculiar depth-EEG recording of prolonged post-ictal confusion which proved to be continuous complex partial status epilepticus. A 33 year old male with intractable medial temporal lobe epilepsy exhibited this ictal EEG recording. After repetitive habitual complex partial seizures, and an ensuing short lucid interval with intact memory and full communicability, the patient became mo...

This paper examines two rare works with girl protagonists, paying attention to how their voices are construc...

to a wide range of neurological symptoms, ranging from headaches, dizziness and altered mental status to coma. The basis for this is thought to be hypoxia. Carbon monoxide competes with oxygen for binding to hemoglobin (Hb) and once bound, shifts the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the left, thus impairing off-loading of oxygen molecules, leading to hypoxia . A sizable minority of CO poison...

Mitchell et al. present a lucid and provocative challenge to the claim that links between mental representations are formed automatically. However, the propositional approach they offer requires clearer specification, especially with regard to how propositions and memories interact. A definition of a system would also clarify the debate, as might an alternative technique for assessing task
