Background & Importance: Hydatid disease of the spine is rare but constitutes approximately 50% of bone involvement cases in human hydatidosis. It is a severe condition associated with a high rate of morbidity, disability and mortality. Case Presentation: In the present paper, we report an intriguing case of cervical spinal hydatid disease mimicking traumatic burst fracture. Con...

Connectionist modeling and neuroscience have little common ground or mutual influence. Despite impressive algorithms and analysis within connectionism and neural networks, there has been little influence on neuroscience, which remains primarily an empirical science. This chapter advocates two strategies to increase the interaction between neuroscience and neural networks: (1) focus on emergent ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether it is worth pursuing surgery for the treatment of epilepsy in patients with normal neuroimaging. METHODS Two patient populations were studied: (1) 136 consecutive patients who were surgically treated; (2) 105 consecutive patients assessed with chronically implanted intracranial electrodes within the same period. Sixty patients belonged to both groups, and includ...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were 1) to determine the frequency of clinically significant abnormal neuroimaging in children coming to the emergency department (ED) with new-onset afebrile seizures (ASZ), and 2) to identify children at high or low risk for clinically significant abnormal neuroimaging. DESIGN/METHODS Five hundred consecutive cases of new-onset ASZ seen in the ED of a...

In the last decade, combined transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-neuroimaging studies have greatly stimulated research in the field of TMS and neuroimaging. Here, we review how TMS can be combined with various neuroimaging techniques to investigate human brain function. When applied during neuroimaging (online approach), TMS can be used to test how focal cortex stimulation acutely modifies ...
