Guidelines promote the use of adrenal vein sampling (AVS) to document lateralized aldosterone hypersecretion in primary aldosteronism. However, there are large discrepancies between institutions in the criteria used to interpret its results. This study evaluates the consequences of these differences on the classification and management of patients. The results of all 537 AVS procedures performe...

26 27 Asymmetry of the human cerebellum was investigated using intrinsic functional 28 connectivity. Regions of functional asymmetry within the cerebellum were identified 29 during resting-state functional MRI (fMRI; N=500) and replicated in an independent 30 cohort (N=500). The most strongly right lateralized cerebellar regions fell within the 31 posterior lobe including Crus I and Crus II in ...

We stimulated electrically pharyngeal branch of both glossopharyngeal nerves (PGLN), internal branch of superior laryngeal nerves (ISLN), and carotid sinus nerves (CSN) in anesthetized cats. We recorded simultaneously, averaged, and compared bilaterally evoked phrenic nerve (PHR) activity. Our objective was to demonstrate a short-latency evoked response in the PHR contralateral to the stimulus....

Introduction: There is evidence that diabetes affects seizure susceptibility. Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) which is used in traditional medicine has antioxidant activity and neuroprotective effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the seizure threshold induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) in diabetic mice after induction of diabetes with streptozocin and to examine the possible ...

INTRODUCTION Although one third of febrile seizures are complex, a consensus has still not been reached on how to manage them, as is the case with simple febrile seizures. The objective of this study is to estimate the usefulness of complementary examinations and the risk of associated serious intracranial pathology. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review was conducted from 2003 until 20...

background:tramadol poisoning has increased in recent years. seizure is one ofthe side-effects oftramadol toxicity. there is a controversy about possible preventive effect of naloxone in tramadol poisoning induced seizure. therefore, this study was performed to compare seizure incidence in tramadol poisoning patients who received and did not receive naloxone, as an opioid antagonist. methods:th...

Rat pups during a critical postnatal period (≤ 10 days) readily form a preference for an odor that is associated with stimuli mimicking maternal care. Such a preference memory can last from hours, to days, even life-long, depending on training parameters. Early odor preference learning provides us with a model in which the critical changes for a natural form of learning occur in the olfactory c...

The localization of low-frequency sounds mainly relies on the processing of microsecond temporal disparities between the ears, since low frequencies produce little or no interaural energy differences. The overall auditory cortical response to low-frequency sounds is largely symmetrical between the two hemispheres, even when the sounds are lateralized. However, the effects of unilateral lesions ...

Studies of wildlife have shown consistent individual variation in behavioural plasticity, which affects the rate of adaptation to changing environments. More flexible individuals may thus be more prone to habituation and conflict behaviour, but these applications of personality to wildlife management are little explored. Behavioural lateralization reflects cerebral specialization that may predi...
