Verbal working memory (VWM) engages frontal and temporal/parietal circuits subserving the phonological loop, as well as, superior and inferior cerebellar regions which have projections from these neocortical areas. Different cerebro-cerebellar circuits may be engaged for integrating aurally- and visually-presented information for VWM. The present fMRI study investigated load (2, 4, or 6 letters...

The plasma concentration of the platelet-specific protein /3-thromboglobulin (/8-TG) was measured in 39 normal subjects and 568 patients of neurological diseases. The /3-TG RIA commercially available KIT was also evaluated. Abnormally high plasma levels of /3-TG were demonstrated in groups of ischemic or obstructive cerebrovascular diseases as compared with that of normal subjects. The highest ...
