Absent CNKSR2 causes seizures and intellectual, attention, and language deficits.
Synaptic function is central to brain function. Understanding the synapse is aided by studies of patients lacking individual synaptic proteins. Common neurological diseases are genetically complex. Their understanding is likewise simplified by studies of less common monogenic forms. We detail the disease caused by absence of the synaptic protein CNKSR2 in 8 patients ranging from 6 to 62 years o...

متن کاملUnconscious Priming of Focused Attention Reduces the Attention Deficits of ADHD Patients

The present study explores whether these deficits can be ameliorated by unconscious priming of attention. Sixty children diagnosed with ADHD participated, their age ranged between eight and twelve ye...

Holter ECG showed the second-degree AV block and the longest cardiac pause was 6.3 seconds. Even after receiving pacemaker, he repeated consciousness cloudiness. Electroencephalogram revealed spike and waves on the left temporal region, suggesting complicated with complex part...
