INTRODUCTION Procedural learning (PL) is a part of implicit memory (Shiffrin and Schneider, 1977) and is based on brain subsystems of associative cortex and its connections with basal ganglia and cerebellum (Squire, 1992). PL gives the human individual a gain in freedom: automatic healthy cognitive and motor skills help to save an important amount of conscious work in daily routines and in effo...

Research on children with Joubert syndrome has focused on brain structural abnormalities and associated clinical symptoms. The degree of developmental delay has not been objectively reported. We investigated the neurobehavioral development of children with Joubert syndrome through neurobehavioral assessment in the largest sample to date. Thirty-two parents of children with Joubert syndrome comp...

Abstract Background Anemia is common in neurocritically ill patients. Considering the limited clinical evidence this population, preclinical data may provide some understanding of potential impact anemia and red blood cell transfusion these We aim to estimate association between different strategies neurobehavioral outcome animal models. Methods will conduct a systematic review comparative stud...

OBJECTIVE To examine internal construct validity of the Neurobehavioral Functioning Inventory (NFI) by applying Rasch analysis. SETTING An outpatient rehabilitation program trial in New Zealand employing a goal-setting intervention in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). PARTICIPANTS One hundred eight people (mean age = 46 years; 73% male) between 6 months and 5 years post-TBI. DESIG...


 Purpose: To study the influence of oxymatrine on hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) in neonatal rats.
 Methods: Newborn SPF Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups (10 rats/group): control, HIBI and groups. Neurobehavioral latency each rat was determined after 48 h treatment, pathological changes cerebral cortex evaluated using H&E staining. Hippocampal neu...

The association between pesticide exposure and neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental effects is an area of increasing concern. This symposium brought together participants to explore the neurotoxic effects of pesticides across the lifespan. Endpoints examined included neurobehavioral, affective and neurodevelopmental outcomes among occupational (both adolescent and adult workers) and non-occup...

Descriptive statistics for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale summary scores are provided based on data from 1388 1-month-old infants in the Maternal Lifestyle Study (MLS) of prenatal drug exposure and child outcome. The multisite MLS is described, followed by tables with descriptive statistics and percentile for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavior...

Lifestyles involving sleep deprivation are common, despite mounting evidence that both acute total sleep deprivation and chronically restricted sleep degrade neurobehavioral functions associated with arousal, attention, memory and state stability. Current research suggests dynamic differences in the way the central nervous system responds to acute versus chronic sleep restriction, which is refl...
