Phospholipase C-beta4 is essential for the progression of the normal sleep sequence and ultradian body temperature rhythms in mice. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: THE SLEEP SEQUENCE: i) non-REM sleep, ii) REM sleep, and iii) wakefulness, is stable and widely preserved in mammals, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown.

Giant petrous bone cholesteatoma: combined microscopic surgery and an adjuvant endoscopic approach [PDF]
Petrous bone cholesteatomas (PBCs) are epidermoid cysts, which have developed in the petrous portion of the temporal bone and may be congenital or acquired.

DEPRIVATION AND STRABISMIC AMBLYOPIA: ABNORMALITIES IN GENICULOCORTICAL VISUAL PATHWAYS
Background: There are inconsistent data on the changes of functional performance in subcortical structures of visual system caused by early binocular vision impairment.

Visual deprivation modifies oscillatory activity in visual and auditory centers
Loss of vision may enhance the capabilities of auditory perception, but the mechanisms mediating these changes remain elusive. Here, visual deprivation in rats resulted in altered oscillatory activities, which appeared to be the result of a common ...

Noninvasive spatiotemporal imaging of neural transmission in the subcortical visual pathway
Spatiotemporal signal transmission in the human subcortical visual pathway has not been directly demonstrated to date. To delineate this signal transmission noninvasively, we investigated the early latency components between 45 ms (P45m) and 75 ms (N75m)

Inhibitory Projections in the Mouse Auditory Tectothalamic System
The medial geniculate body (MGB) is the target of excitatory and inhibitory inputs from several neural sources. Among these, the inferior colliculus (IC) is an important nucleus in the midbrain that acts as a nexus for auditory projections, ascending and

Thalamic, cortical, and amygdala involvement in the processing of a natural sound cue of danger.
Animals use auditory cues generated by defensive responses of others to detect impending danger. Here we identify a neural circuit in rats involved in the detection of one such auditory cue, the cessation of movement-evoked sound resulting from freezing.

Defining Meyer's loop-temporal lobe resections, visual field deficits and diffusion tensor tractography [PDF]
Anterior temporal lobe resection is often complicated by superior quadrantic visual field deficits (VFDs). In some cases this can be severe enough to prohibit driving, even if a patient is free of seizures.
