Th e neocortical brain is notoriously diffi cult to research among extant and extinct primates because its complexity can negate assumptions of spatial and functional homology. Despite this, the neocortical brain remains the centre of attention whilst the subcortical brain is often dismissed as conserved and lacking in any signifi cant phylogenetic or functional signal. However, it is possible ...

The area of the midsagittal sedion of the corpus callosum, particularly in the region of the spleniiim was found to be greater in women than in men. The magnetic resonance imaging of seventy adults was examined and showed the same association previously observed, between sex differences and area of the corpiis callosiim and its spleniiim. The quantitative results supported a relationship betwee...

We describe a speech recognition system which uses articulatory parameters as basic features and phone-dependent linear dynamic models. The system first estimates articulatory trajectories from the speech signal. Estimations of x and y coordinates of 7 actual articulator positions in the midsagittal plane are produced every 2 milliseconds by a recurrent neural network, trained on real articulat...

Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a motor speech disorder characterized by disturbed spatial and temporal parameters of movement. Research on motor learning suggests that augmented feedback may provide a beneficial effect for training movement. This study examined the effects of the presence and frequency of online augmented visual kinematic feedback (AVKF) and clinician-provided perceptual feedback o...

An exhaustive qualitative (vote-counting) review is conducted of the literature concerning visual and non-visual line bisection in neurologically normal subject populations. Although most of these studies report a leftward bisection error (i.e., pseudoneglect), considerable between-study variability and inconsistency characterize this literature. A meta-analysis of this same literature is perfo...

We investigated two structures that are in close association with the pyramidal lobe of thyroid gland. Our investigation was performed using microdissection and histological examination 106 human postmortem specimens. The first structure identified as fibrous band present 28.3% cases. This always associated (which significantly longer thicker when this band) it had a constant hyo-pyramidal exte...
