background naming is a simple and basic skill of the language which involves semantic, lexical, and phonological levels. there are many different factors affecting the speed and convenience of naming. one of these factors is the word age of acquisition (aoa) and since language processing occurs at an extremely fast rate, psycholinguistics needs a method that has very good temporal resolution. t...

Pattern hair loss is the most common type of in both men and women. Scalp typically affected a characteristic distribution without other scalp or dermatologic findings. Early recognition treatment can help halt its progression to preserve as much possible. Both pharmacologic nonpharmacologic treatments have proven helpful.

BACKGROUND Facial involvement of psoriasis is known to be one of the clinical manifestations that indicate the severity of the psoriasis and thought to be more closely associated with certain distribution. Centrofacial (CF) psoriasis has been suggested to be related with severity of systemic disease while peripherofacial (PF) psoriasis has been thought to have connection with scalp psoriasis. ...

We investigated the relationship between the scalp distribution of fast (40-150 Hz) oscillations (FOs) and epileptogenic lesions in West syndrome (WS) and related disorders. Subjects were 9 pediatric patients with surgically confirmed structural epileptogenic pathology (age at initial electroencephalogram [EEG] recording: mean 7.1 months, range 1-22 months). The diagnosis was WS in 7 patients, ...

The auditory evoked brain stem potential was recorded in 14 normal full-term infants and nine normal-hearing adults. Silver-silver chloride electrodes were placed at nasion, forehead, vertex, each mastoid over the bony prominence, and the seventh cervical vertebra (noncephalic reference) in order to study the scalp distribution of the auditory brain stem response. Large differences in the scalp...

background: members of the malassezia genus are often lipophilic, observed as budding yeasts and found as commensals in the skin of humans. this genus opportunistically reside in several areas including scalp where under the influence of particular predisposing factors, their proliferation is increased (e.g., high activation of sebaceous glands), and leads to dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis,...

This paper describes a procedure, Vector filter, based on a multiple regression model, which decomposes the event-related brain potential into components on the basis of scalp distribution. It is assumed that the voltage values observed at several electrode sites at any point in time are given by the linear combination of a set of components and background noise and that the scalp distribution ...

The last decade has seen an enormous increase in the attention that is paid to the relative contributions of various areas of the brain to perception, cognition, and movement planning and execution. This has been accompanied by the development and/or increased use of several noninvasive brain imaging techniques, such as PET, fMRI, and, more recently, transcranial optical imaging (Toga & Mazziot...

Recent years have seen an explosion of research on the N2 component of the event-related potential, a negative wave peaking between 200 and 350 ms after stimulus onset. This research has focused on the influence of "cognitive control," a concept that covers strategic monitoring and control of motor responses. However, rich research traditions focus on attention and novelty or mismatch as determ...

Angiosarcoma of the scalp is a rare aggressive tumor that affects elderly patients. Chemoradiation is the treatment of choice for multicentric and extensive disease. The shape of the scalp represents a dosimetric challenge in terms of achieving a homogeneous concave dose distribution with coverage of the entire target volume and an acceptable organs-at-risk sparing. We report a case of an 81-ye...
