Assessment of Subtle Neurological Deficits
Objectives-This project was conducted to examine whether the computerised analysis of psychomotor responses available from Cognitive Drug Research is appropriate for measuring an effect oflow level exposure to mercury in dentists. Methods-A computerised battery of psychomotor tests was given to two groups of dentists (older dentists and trainees) and to two age matched control groups. As well a...
متن کاملDichotic listening deficits in children with dyslexia.
Several auditory processing deficits have been reported in children with dyslexia. In order to assess for the presence of a binaural integration type of auditory processing deficit, dichotic listening tests with digits, words and consonant-vowel (CV) pairs were administered to two groups of right-handed 11-year-old children, one group diagnosed with developmental dyslexia and an age-matched con...
متن کاملCognitive function in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis: anyone out there listening?
Results 44 subjects from 42 families (22 men), mean age of 42 years were included. KBIT-2 Composite IQ score was 98.4 ± 12.4, (95% CI (confidence interval) 94.5-102.3) which is within the average range of 90-109. 27 % of patients scored below average (less than 90) and 15% scored above average (greater than 109), not a significant imbalance (sign test p=0.33). Nonverbal IQ scores show no differ...
متن کاملHemodynamic differences in children with dichotic listening deficits: preliminary results from an fMRI study during a cued listening task.
Functional magnetic resonance images were acquired while children with and without dyslexia identified incongruous words embedded within fairy tale segments in a quasidichotic listening task. All children produced greater activation in the left hemisphere than in the right hemisphere during the binaural separation listening task. Children with dyslexia, who had a higher incidence of a dichotic ...
متن کاملNigrostriatal dopamine system dysfunction and subtle motor deficits in manganese-exposed non-human primates.
We tested the hypothesis that movement abnormalities induced by chronic manganese (Mn) exposure are mediated by dysfunction of the nigrostriatal dopamine system in the non-human primate striatum. Motor function and general activity of animals was monitored in parallel with chronic exposure to Mn and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies of in vivo dopamine release, dopamine transporters an...
