A case of transient global amnesia of clear vascular aetiology is described. Results of neuropsychological testing carried out during the attack clarify the nature of the memory disorder and suggest that the critical region of ischaemia is the medial temporal area around the hippocampus. Follow-up testing suggests that no lasting memory impairment resulted.

myositis ossificans (mo) is a pathologic bone formation in soft tissue with unknown pathogenesis. in this article, we reported a case of long standing mo of right medial pterygoid muscle with severe limitation of mouth opening.

–Previous electrophysiological studies in pigeons have shown that the vestibulocerebellum can be divided into two parasagittal zones based on responses to optic flow stimuli. The medial zone responds best to optic flow resulting from self-translation, whereas the lateral zone responds best to optic flow resulting from self-rotation. This information arrives from the retina via a projection from...

Based on the concepts of isovists and medial axes, we developed a set of algorithms that can automatically generate axial lines for representing individual linearly stretched parts of open space of an urban environment. Open space is the space between buildings, where people can freely move around. The generation of the axial lines has been a key aspect of space syntax research, conventionally ...

A patient with medically intractable seizures and mesial temporal sclerosis underwent a left anterior temporal lobectomy and amygdalohippocampectomy. After 4 months, his seizures recurred and a left temporal, subdural grid of electrodes was placed to localise his seizure focus. Stimulation through the grid evoked four distinct “memories”, or experiential phenomena, despite absence of the ipsila...

<p>Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare condition, commonly affecting the knee joint and hip joint. It seldomly seen in pediatric age group. Aetiology unknown. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modality of choice. Managed by surgical resection synovium performed with an open, arthroscopic or combined approach. Post-operative adjuvant external beam radiotherapy have reduced rec...

The lumbar part of the diaphragm arises from the lumbar vertebrae by right and left crura. The duplication of crura of the diaphragm is rarely reported in the past. During regular dissection classes to the medical students, we came across a case of duplicated right crus of the diaphragm. The right crus of the diaphragm was duplicated completely and presented two separate crura; medial right cru...

The structure of neurons and axons was studied in the medial division of the medial geniculate body of the cat with the Golgi methods. The results show that the medial division consists of morphologically heterogeneous neurons. The main types, in descending order of frequency, are medium-sized neurons with (1) radiate, (2) tufted, or (3) elongate dendrites; (4) small stellate or radiate neurons...
