Some patients awaken from coma (that is, open the eyes) but remain unresponsive only showing reflex movements without response to command). This syndrome has been coined vegetative state. We here present a new name for this challenging neurological condition: wakefulness (abbreviated UWS).Many clinicians feel uncomfortable when referring as vegetative. Indeed, most of lay public and media state pejorative connotation seems inappropriately refer these being vegetable-like. political religious...
Gerald M. Edelman won the Nobel Prize for discoveries in immunology before turning his mind to what Pulitzer Prize-winning evolutionary biologist E.O. Wilson has called “the master unsolved problem of biology: how hundred million nerve cells brain work together create consciousness.” Wider than sky: phenomenal gift consciousness presents a succinct account Edelman’s proposals on and is most recent stream related publications over last three decades. The book aimed at general reader packed...
Abstract Although Galton recognized in the 1880s that some individuals lack visual imagery, this phenomenon was mostly neglected over following century. We recently coined terms “aphantasia” and “hyperphantasia” to describe imagery vividness extremes, unlocking a sustained surge of public interest. Aphantasia is associated with subjective impairment face recognition autobiographical memory. Here we report first systematic, wide-ranging neuropsychological brain imaging study people aphantasia...
Abstract Objective Transient amnesia can be the principal manifestation of epilepsy. This diagnosis, however, is seldom suspected by clinicians and remains controversial. The amnestic attacks are often associated with persistent memory complaints. study was designed to provide first description transient epileptic in a substantial series patients. Methods Fifty patients were recruited over 18 months using following diagnostic criteria: (1) recurrent, witnessed episodes amnesia; (2) other...

ISBN 9700195321319 Twenty-seven years have passed since the last edition of this well known and widely respected book was published.

Conversion disorder (motor type) describes weakness that is not due to recognized disease or conscious simulation but instead thought be a "psychogenic" phenomenon. It common clinical problem in neurology its neural correlates remain poorly understood.To compare the of unilateral functional conversion with those healthy controls asked simulate weakness.Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used examine whole brain activations during ankle plantarflexion four patients and...
Mental and neurological conditions are classified in different chapters of diagnostic manuals. <b>P D White</b>, <b>H Rickards</b>, <b>A Z J Zeman</b> argue that this distinction is inconsistent with current scientific understanding the should be grouped together as disorders nervous system
Tests sensitive to presymptomatic changes in Alzheimer's disease could be valuable for clinical trials. Accelerated long-term forgetting-during which memory impairment becomes apparent over longer periods than usually assessed, despite normal performance on standard cognitive testing-has been identified other temporal lobe disorders. We assessed whether accelerated forgetting is a feature of autosomal dominant (familial) disease, and there an association between early subjective changes.This...
OBJECTIVES--To determine whether oligoclonal band (OCB) negative multiple sclerosis is a reliable diagnosis and, if so, it has distinctive prognosis. METHODS--Retrospective and matched prospective comparison of the clinical laboratory features patients with definite without intrathecal synthesis IgG. RESULTS--Thirty four were identified apparent OCB clinically sclerosis. The results banding proved to have been equivocal in 14 34; was questionable 8 34. remaining 12 "true" significantly less...
Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is a recently recognised form of epilepsy which the principle manifestation recurrent, transient episodes isolated memory loss. In addition to amnesic episodes, many patients describe significant interictal difficulties. Performance on standard neuropsychological tests often normal. However, two unusual forms deficit have been demonstrated in TEA: (i) accelerated long-term forgetting (ALF): excessively rapid loss newly acquired memories over period days or...
