Somatoparaphrenia: a body delusion. A review of the neuropsychological literature
Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar
A review of published brain-damaged patients showing delusional beliefs concerning the contralesional side of the body (somatoparaphrenia) is presented. Somatoparaphrenia has been reported, with a few exceptions, in right-brain-damaged patients, with motor ...
2008A Neural Model of Demyelination of the Mouse Spinal Cord
Biljana Petreska von Ritter-Zahony
This paper presents a neural network model of demyelination of the mouse motor pathways, coupled to a central pattern generation (CPG) model for quadruped walking. Demyelination is the degradation of the myelin layer covering the axons which can be caused ...
2008Induction of an illusory shadow person
Stimulation of a site on the brain's left hemisphere prompts the creepy feeling that somebody is close by. The strange sensation that somebody is nearby when no one is actually present has been described by psychiatric and neurological patients, as well as ...
Nature Publishing Group2006Determinants of cortical gray matter volume: hypothesis based on developmental cohorts with normal and abnormal cortical morphology
Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra
Normal course of cortical maturation has been evidenced for many years through gray matter volume measurements and abnormal gray matter volumes have frequently been reported as a part of a pathological brain development in neurogenetic or psychiatric disor ...
2006Anatomical, physiological, molecular and circuit properties of nest basket cells in the developing somatosensory cortex
Anatomical, electrophysiological and molecular diversity of basket cell-like interneurons in layers II-IV of rat somatosensory cortex were studied using patch-clamp electrodes filled with biocytin. This multiparametric study shows that neocortical basket c ...
2002Spatiotemporal characterization of rhythmic activity in rat spinal cord slice cultures
Philippe Renaud, Marc Olivier Heuschkel
Rat spinal networks generate a spontaneous rhythmic output directed to motoneurons under conditions of increased excitation or of disinhibition. It is not known whether these differently induced rhythms are produced by a common rhythm generator. To investi ...
2001Differential messenger RNA distribution of lactate dehydrogenase LDH-1 and LDH-5 isoforms in the rat brain
Pierre Magistretti, Luc Pellerin
The role of lactate in brain energy metabolism has recently received renewed attention. Although blood-borne monocarboxylates such as lactate poorly cross the blood-brain barrier in the adult brain, lactate produced within the brain parenchyma may be a sui ...
2000Echo-planar magnetic resonance imaging studies of frontal cortex activation during word generation in humans
Nine subjects were studied by high-speed magnetic resonance imaging while performing language-based tasks. Subjects were asked either to repeat or to generate verbs associated with nouns read by an experimenter while magnetic resonance images were obtained ...
