Responses evoked by stimulating points along the inferotemporal j.,ryrus of the macaque are found in the anterior commissure, amygdala, medial temporal cortex, the head and basal posterior portions of the putamen, the tail of the caudate nucleus, the pretectaI tegmentum, just lateral to the central gray matter, and the superior colliculus. Tht; superior colliculus projections come from the post...

Aim: The aim was to evaluate the treatment outcomes and prognostic characteristics of patients with early-stage glottic laryngeal carcinoma who underwent radical radiotherapy (RT) different techniques.Materials Methods: Radiotherapy applied using 2D conventional technique, 3DCRT (three dimensional conformal IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy).
