Primary lateral sclerosis: Predicting functional outcome
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Degeneration, 2012Our objective was to investigate functional outcome in primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). We followed a group of 24 patients with PLS. Clinical (ALSFRS), respiratory, and neurophysiological (electromyography and transcranial magnetic stimulation) evaluations were performed at entry and regularly over the follow-up period.

Function of lateral line canal morphology
Integrative Zoology, 2015AbstractFish perceive water motions and pressure gradients with their lateral line. Lateral line information is used for prey detection, spatial orientation, predator avoidance, schooling behavior, intraspecific communication and station holding. The lateral line of most fishes consists of superficial neuromasts (SNs) and canal neuromasts (CNs).

Lateralization of function in rats
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1983Research findings during the past several years have shown that the rat's brain is lateralized for a number of behavioral functions. Neurochemical and anatomical asymmetries have also been found and, in some instances, have been associated with the behavioral asymmetries. It has also been found that extra stimulation in early life can enhance existing

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and thyroid function
Journal of Neurology, 1989We elected to study thyroid status in ALS. The diagnosis of ALS was established on the basis of history, clinical and laboratory examination, electrophysiological study, and muscle biopsy. The thyroid function tests were carried out in 32 of these patients (20 men and 12 women aged 26-64 years, with a mean of 52.7)

Respiratory function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Neurological Sciences, 2003The aim of this study was to examine the vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1) in relation to the site of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) onset and the duration of the disease. Respiratory involvement is the principal cause of death in ALS patients. The study was conducted at the Department of Neurology, University School

Tooth eruption symmetry in functional lateralities
Archives of Oral Biology, 2001Dental casts and oral photographs from a cross-sectional sample of 2092 young North Americans with detailed information on functional lateralities (eyedness, handedness and footedness) were examined to compare the proportions of symmetrical and asymmetrical eruption of the antimeric (left-right, contralateral pair) permanent teeth using a four-grade ...

Cognitive function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1997Cognitive function in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has drawn recent attention. However, the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction in patients with ALS remains uncertain. To explore the underlying mechanism for cognitive dysfunction further, we studied 26 patients with ALS (15 male and 11 female; age from 36 to 67 years) by using ...

Cerebral lateralization of function and bilingual decision processes: Is thinking lateralized?
Brain and Language, 1978Abstract Four experiments utilizing tachistoscopic presentation of verbal and spatial stimuli to visual half-fields are presented. Three experiments failed to find any cerebral lateralization effect of the type predicted from existing models of cerebral lateralization processes. One experiment found marked lateralization effects.

LATERALIZATION OF BILINGUAL DIGIT SPAN FUNCTIONS
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 198436 Chinese-English bilingual undergraduates were tested on forward and backward digit spans in both Chinese and English in monaural listening tests. There was a significant right-ear advantage for forward digit span in Chinese but not in English, suggesting different hemispheric involvement.

Lateralized function relationship between the preoptic area and lateral hypothalamic reinforcement
Brain Research, 1987Electrical self-stimulation in the lateral hypothalamus of both hemispheres was recorded in 14 rats before and after administration of a unilateral ibotenic acid lesion of the cell bodies in the region of the lateral preoptic area. A significant decrease in the rate of self-stimulation at each of two stimulation intensities was found when the electrode
