case presentation herein, we reported a case of a 22-year-old woman diagnosed with erms, t1n0m0 stage, localized at the right vocal cord. tumor was successfully treated with a radical excision and selective neck dissection and followed-up for 5 years with no evidence of local recurrence. introduction although embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (erms) represent the most common (50% - 60%) clinical form...

The cerebellum is often active in imaging studies of verbal working memory, consistent with a putative role in articulatory rehearsal. While patients with cerebellar damage occasionally exhibit a mild impairment on standard neuropsychological tests of working memory, these tests are not diagnostic for exploring these processes in detail. The current study was designed to determine whether damag...

This study used whole-head 64 channel electroencephalography to measure changes in sensorimotor activity-as indexed by the mu rhythm-in neurologically-healthy adults, during subvocal confrontation naming tasks. Independent component analyses revealed sensorimotor mu component clusters in the right and left hemispheres. Event related spectral perturbation analyses indicated significantly stronge...

Recent models of working memory suggest that two systems are involved in verbal working memory: one is dedicated to the maintenance of phonological representations through verbal rehearsal, while the other would maintain multimodal representations through attentional refreshing (Camos et al., 2009; Baddeley, 2012). Previous studies provided evidence on the existence of these two maintenance sys...

background: makhaarej al-horouf, the study of speech sounds by avicenna is a valuable piece of work in the study of speech sounds, which was written about ten centuries ago. it contains six chapters on sound, anatomy of vocal tract, and phonetics. it is amazing to find that avicenna’s explanations are congruent with the findings of modern scholarship in relevant topics. the study was intended t...
