Cortically evoked motor responses in patients with Xp22.3-linked Kallmann's syndrome and in female gene carriers [PDF]
Patients with Kallmann's syndrome show hypothalamic hypogonadism, hyposmia, and congenital mirror movements. As a correlate, a defect of gonadotropic neuron migration into the brain was recently detected. Considering abnormal outgrowth of neurons also as

Age-related size reduction of foramina in the cribriform plate [PDF]
Anecdotal evidence suggests that the foramina of the cribriform plate which transmit cranial nerve I decrease in size with age, but this finding has never been supported with quantitative data. It has also been observed that olfactory function declines with increasing age.

EVALUATION OF THE DOSE DUE TO THE POSITION OF THE PROTECTION BLOCKS USED TO PROTECT THE EYES.
Several techniques have been proposed to perform the radiation treatment of medulloblastoma. However, each method presents limitations, and problems have occurred during irradiation due to the application of non-coplanar fields, such as the joint ...

The Route by Which Intranasally Delivered Stem Cells Enter the Central Nervous System
Intranasal administration is a promising route of delivery of stem cells to the central nervous system (CNS). Reports on this mode of stem cell delivery have not yet focused on the route across the cribriform plate by which cells move from the nasal ...

Identification of Naegleria fowleri proteins linked to primary amoebic meningoencephalitis [PDF]
Naegleria fowleri (N. fowleri) causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a rapidly fatal disease of the central nervous system. N. fowleri can exist in cyst, flagellate or amoebic forms, depending on environmental conditions.

Evolution of the base of the brain in highly encephalized human species [PDF]
The increase of brain size relative to body size-encephalization-is intimately linked with human evolution. However, two genetically different evolutionary lineages, Neanderthals and modern humans, have produced similarly large-brained human species ...
