The quantitative 2-14C-deoxyglucose autoradiographic method of Sokoloff et al. (1977) was used to measure local cerebral glucose utilization in freely moving developing rats. The animals were studied at 10, 14, 17, 21, and 35 d and at the adult stage. Glucose utilization was very low and quite uniform in 10- and 14-d-old rats, ranging from 20 to 30 mumol/100 gm/min, except in a few posterior ar...

Prior efforts to dissect etiological and pharmacological modulations in brain morphology in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are often undermined by methodological and sampling constraints, yielding conflicting conclusions and no reliable neuromarkers. Here we evaluated alteration of regional gray matter volume including effect size (Cohen's d value) in 95 drug-naïve patients (age range: 18-...

Amnesia typically results from trauma to the medial temporal regions that coordinate activation among the disparate areas of cortex that represent the information that make up autobiographical memories. We proposed that amnesia should also result from damage to these regions, particularly regions that subserve long-term visual memory [Rubin, D. C., & Greenberg, D. L. (1998). Visual memory-defic...

We consider the use of medial surfaces to represent symmetries of 3-D objects. This allows for a qualitative abstraction based on a directed acyclic graph of components and also a degree of invariance to a variety of transformations including the articulation and deformation of parts. We demonstrate the use of this representation for both indexing and matching 3-D object models. Our formulation...

The co-existence of multiple variants in the axilla has been rarely documented. Hence, we report the multiple variations of axillary structures and axillary arch. During a dissection of axilla of adult male cadaver, following variations were encountered. a) One superficial and complete type of axillary arch on left axilla only. b) Venous chiasma between the basilic vein and brachial vein of bot...

Medial medullary infarction is characterized by contralateral paralysis of the arm and leg, contralateral loss of position and vibration sense, and an ipsilateral paralysis of the tongue. Rarely, upbeat nystagmus has been described. Bowtie nystagmus, which refers to oblique upbeat nystagmus with horizontal quick phases that alternate from right to left, has been reported in association with tob...

purpose: to investigate demographic, clinical and histopathologic features of consecutive exotropia. methods: patients with consecutive exotropia who underwent surgery in farabi hospital between september 2014 and april 2015 were enrolled in this study. after complete ophthalmologic examination and far and near deviation measurement, all patients with negative forced duction test underwent 4-mm...
