Octave Landry was one of a long list of fine 19th century clinicians who died very young and whose discoveries in physiology and descriptions of new clinical pictures helped found current-day neurology. In 1852, Landry proposed a new take on the physiology of sensation which laid the ground for the concepts of proprioception and stereognosis. He also described the clinical picture of a rapidly ...

"Hypnopuncture," a combination treatment of hypnosis and acupuncture, provides a therapeutic treatment plan for long-term therapy for patients with a distinctive gag reflex. The treatment is applied independently of the cause. In cases of emergency treatment in dentistry, the immediate compliance of a patient is of utmost importance. The long-term goal of any therapeutic measure is control of t...

This review examines the extent to which neurological signs are more prevalent in schizophrenia patients, compared to mood-disorder patients and healthy subjects, and whether there is a pattern in any of the differences that may be found. We included 17 studies and calculated the weighted mean prevalence of 30 neurological signs. The prevalence of most signs appears to be significantly differen...

It well recognized that children with cerebral palsy (CP) have somatosensory processing deficits that limit their proprioception, stereognosis, and tactile discrimination. Since CP involves damage to both the sensory and motor systems, it is unclear whether the noted sensory deficits contribute to the motor impairments seen in these children, or if they are more independent symptoms that share ...

BACKGROUND Mirror therapy (MT) has been proposed to improve the motor function of chronic individuals with stroke with mild to moderate impairment. With regards to severe upper limb paresis, MT has shown to provide limited motor improvement in the acute or sub-acute phase. However, no previous research has described the effects of MT in chronic individuals with stroke with severely impaired upp...

Abstract Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. Although children ADHD made much more spelling errors, they had distinct letter insertions, replacements, transpositions, and omissions. This mistake type sometimes referred to as graphemic bu...
