What neuroimaging tells us about sensory substitution.
Description :
A major question in the field of sensory substitution concerns the nature of the perception generated by sensory substitution prostheses. Is the perception determined by the nature of the substitutive modality or is it determined by the nature of the information transmitted by the device? Is it a to...

EEG and evoked potentials in the intensive care unit
Author(s) :
Guérit, Jean-Michel
Description :
We review the principal aspects of EEG and evoked potential (EP) neuromonitoring in the intensive care unit. The electrophysiological methods allow functional assessment of comatose patients and can be used (a) as a help to diagnose the origin of coma, (b) as a means to predict outcome, and (c) for ...

5th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention
Description :
We propose to match a labeled mesh onto the patient brain surface in a multiresolution way for labeling the patient brain. Labeling the patient brain surface provides a map of the brain folds where the neuroradiologist and the neurosurgeon can easily track the features of interest. Due to the comple...

Documenting the brain drain of «la crème de la crème»: Three case-studies on international migration at the upper tail of the education distribution
Description :
Most of the recent literature on the effects of the brain drain on source countries consists of theoretical papers and cross-country empirical studies. In this paper we complement the literature through three case studies on very different regional and professional contexts: the African medical brai...

Description :
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is one of the main enzymes responsible for terminating the signaling of endocannabinoids, including anandamide. This paper is the first report of the synthesis, [I-123]-labeling and in vitro and in vivo evaluation of anandamide analogues as potential metabolic trapp...

Does physical interstimulus variance account for early electrophysiological face sensitive responses in the human brain? Ten lessons on the N170.
Description :
A recent event-related potential (ERP) study (Thierry G., Martin, C.D., Downing, P., Pegna, A.J. 2007. Controlling for interstimulus perceptual variance abolishes N170 face selectivity. Nature Neuroscience, 10, 505-11) claimed that the larger occipito-temporal N170 response to pictures of faces than...

Magnetic resonance evaluation of severe neurological disorders in eclampsia.
Description :
A patient with eclampsia and severe but reversible neurological disorders is presented. Initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple hyperintense areas throughout the brain and brainstem that were consistent with ischemia and/or edema. Despite these diffuse lesions extending to the bra...

Description :
This study aimed at investigating the brain correlates of trait emotional intelligence. Trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) is a constellation of emotion-related traits, capturing the extent to which people experience, attend to, identify, understand, regulate, and utilize their emotions and tho...

Description :
Atlas registration is a recognized paradigm for the automatic segmentation of normal MR brain images. Unfortunately, atlas-based segmentation has been of limited use in presence of large space-occupying lesions. In fact, brain deformations induced by such lesions are added to normal anatomical varia...

Description :
Background The intake of food and drink can influence brain functions, which in turn may have effects on mental state and performance. Therefore, in principle claims to improve mood or specific aspects of cognitive performance by the consumption of functional foods are possible and indeed are curren...
