A 60-year-old man developed aphasia and transient right upper limb paresis in the presence of chronic subdural hematoma was transferred to our hospital at an early stage. Cranial MRI within hour after onset showed diffusion-weighted image (DWI) hyperintensity left parietal, temporal, insular cortex pulvinar, decreased apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) parietal suggesting a differential diagn...

Cytochrome oxidase activity was assessed histochemically in gastric biopsies taken from 22 iron-deficient patients. Activity was strong only in parietal cells, and the total amount of activity appeared to be proportional to the number of parietal cells present in the sections. No evidence was found of diminished activity within parietal cells.

THE PARIETAL lobes of the brains of primates exhibit an increase in fissuration and gyral complexity when comparing prosimians with New World and Old World monkeys, and some species of ceboids and cercopithecids with the apes and man. I-4 Increases in fissuration and gyration can be seen among the New World species themselves.4 Ample attention has been given to the great increase in size of the...

introduction: studies with single photon emission computed tomography (spect) have revealed inconsistent changes of regional cerebral blood flow (rcbf) in schizophrenia. some studies investigated the rcbf and its relationship with psychopathology, positive and negative symptoms in treated patients. however, there is a little information about the pattern of rcbf in recently untreated or never t...

results pain scores, analgesic requirements assessed at 24 hours and operation duration were significantly lower in the non-closure group as compared to the closure group. febrile conditions and changes in hemoglobin levels were similar in both groups. conclusions non-closure of both visceral and the parietal peritoneum when performing a cs produces a significant reduction in pain, fewer analge...

The receptors in the fundic mucosa that mediate gastrin stimulation of acid secretion have been studied. Synthetic human gastrin-17-I (G17) with a leucine substitution in the 15th position ( [Leu15]-G17) was iodinated by chloramine T; high saturable binding was found to enzyme-dispersed canine fundic mucosal cells. 127I-[Leu15]-G17, but not 127I-G17, retained binding potency and biological acti...

The parietal lobes of nonhuman primates have been well characterized by single neuron recordings, yet clear partitioning of the human parietal lobes has not been clearly demonstrated. An elegant new fMRI study by Simon and colleagues (this issue of Neuron) suggests that parietal cortex does indeed contain dissociable subregions, each specialized for a particular visuomotor or cognitive function.

In this issue of Neuron, Guerin et al. (2012) provide novel evidence that distinct parietal mechanisms for attention and memory compete when past experiences are compared to current perceptual input. While dorsal parietal cortex supports attention to perceptual stimuli, high attentional demands suppress ventral parietal regions important for veridical remembering.

A single isolated parietal bone from the Fort Sill deposit of Oklahoma is described. It has a well-developed upper temporal opening, resembling that of the primitive South African diapsids. The parietal is compared with that of Araeoscelis and Youngopsis. Based on comparison with this parietal and the configuration of the rear skull table of millerosaurs and romeriids, the bone usually identifi...

Footwear comfort is one of the determinant factors in a buyout decision. The understanding which brain patterns are involved perception footwear could be an important element to develop consumer neuroscience field, and even help during development phase new products. present paper studies through electroencephalography analysis signals ten subjects walking. For analysis, different features were...
