چکیده
Our objectives were to determine the feasibility of recording reliable multifocal visual evoked magnetic fields (mfVEFs), to investigate the maximum stimulus eccentricity for which the mfVEF responses can be obtained, and to study how this changes with checksize (spatial frequency tuning). Using a checksize of 30 0, we recorded 8-channel pattern-onset mfVEFs three times to obtain responses from 19 channels located around the inion. Multifocal visual evoked potentials (mfVEPs) were recorded under the same conditions. Eccentricity changes with spatial frequency were studied using checksizes from 7.5 0 to 60 0. We obtained, for the first time, reliable mfVEFs, and found they could be elicited from more peripheral stimulus elements than could mfVEPs. The larger the checksize, the greater the eccentricity reached. q 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Auditory brainstem responses were recorded in normal children (NL) and children clinically diagnosed with a learning problem (LP). These responses were recorded to both a click stimulus and the formant transition portion of a speech syllable /da/. While no latency differences between the NL and LP populations were seen in responses to the click stimuli, the syllable /da/ did elicit latency diff...

Presenilin 1 mutations are the major cause of autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease: here we identify a new missense mutation causing a methionine to valine change at codon 233. This codon is homologous to a pathogenic presenilin 2 mutation with the same base change (ATG to GTG) and amino acid change (M239V). This mutation causes disease with an exceptionally early onset age (~30 years) in whi...

Behavioral studies suggest that perceptual grouping by proximity occurs earlier than grouping by similarity. This notion is supported by recent electrophysiological evidence that proximity grouping generates earlier occipital activation relative to grouping by shape similarity. The current work further investigated neural substrates that differentiate grouping by proximity and grouping by colou...

A number of findings indicate gender differences in language-related functional hemispheric brain asymmetry. To test if such gender-specific laterality is already present at the level of vowel-processing, the auditory evoked magnetic field was recorded in healthy right-handed male and female participants in response to the German synthetic vowels [a], [e] and [i]. Female participants exhibited ...

Limited optic nerve crush is a model of diffuse mechanical axon injury, the most prevalent cause of secondary neurodegeneration after closed head neurotrauma. In this report, a protocol is presented which allows for the rapid screening of differential gene expression in the inner retina, as well as the optic nerve, in response to partial nerve crush. To prove the reliability of the method, prot...
