OBJECTIVE This study tested the assumption of sensory integration theory that states that a relationship exists between brain function and the behavioral manifestations of sensory integrative dysfunction. METHOD Electroencephalographic measures were used to examine brain processing in 28 children with sensory processing disorders (SPD) and 25 children who were typically developing, ages 5-12 ...

Speech is a brain function that includes virtual, mobile and sensory part for the understanding production of spoken written language. The aim this study was to present adaptation diagnostic tool Examining aphasia – 4th edition (EFA -4) in Greek In dementia especially Alzheimer’s disease (AD), speech language disorders are main features, along with worsening impairment memory. EFA-4 standardize...

Description of Procedure or Service Quantitative sensory testing (QST) systems are used for the noninvasive assessment and quantification of sensory nerve function in patients with symptoms of or the potential for neurologic damage or disease. Pain conditions evaluated may include diabetic neuropathy and uremic and toxic neuropathies, complex regional pain syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ...

Trigeminal sensory neuropathy may result from a wide variety of factors , including tumors of the trigeminal ganglion or spinal trigeminal tract, demyelinating diseases, and connective tissue disorders. Despite a long list of possibilities, the cause often is difficult to establish , and thus many cases are described as idiopathic. We report an unusual case of trigeminal sensory neuropathy caus...

Introduction: Sensory processing is profoundly regulated by brain neuromodulatory systems. One of the main neuromodulators serotonin which influences higher cognitive functions, such as different aspects perceptual processing. Accordingly, malfunction in serotonergic system may lead to visual illusion psychiatric disorders, autism and schizophrenia. This study aims investigate modulation respon...

Mild traumatic brain injuries can lead to long-lasting cognitive and motor deficits, increasing the risk of future behavioral, neurological, and affective disorders. Our study focused on long-term behavioral deficits after repeated injury in which mice received either a single mild CHI (mCHI), a repeated mild CHI (rmCHI) consisting of one impact to each hemisphere separated by 3 days, or a mode...

Sensory functioning has long been considered crucial in the life of people with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) (Gillberg, C., & Coleman, M. (1992). The Biology of Autistic Syndromes (2nd ed.). London: Mac Keith press.) However, much of the research is methodologically flawed and based on child populations and adults' retrospective accounts (O'Neill, M.C 1995). Sensory-perceptual abnormalitie...

We review a treatment modality for movement disorders by sensory feedback. The natural closed-loop sensory-motor feedback system is imitated by a wearable virtual reality apparatus, employing body-mounted inertial sensors and responding dynamically to the patient's own motion. Clinical trials have shown a significant gait improvement in patients with Parkinson's disease using the apparatus. In ...

BACKGROUND While erectile dysfunction is frequent among people with disorders of the spinal cord, the role of various clinical neurophysiological tests in assessment is not clear. AIMS To study the role of clinical neurophysiological investigations in assessing erectile dysfunction among men with spinal cord disorders. SETTING National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, India. ...

Auditory hallucinations are one of the symptoms mental disorders in which individuals experience sensory-perceptual changes that need to get treatment as soon possible. To overcome problem auditory hallucinations, this can be done through music therapy. The aim study was determine effect classical therapy on reducing patients with disorders. research method used a quasi-experimental pre-post te...
