Predicting neurological impairment with the Dean-Woodcock Sensory Motor Battery
… of neuropsychological batteries to assess neurological impairment, however examination of only the sensory-motor portion of those measures has been limited. Investigations of tests of sensory and motor functions have often limited their analysis to single tests. The present study assessed …

The effect of mechanical vestibular stimulation on muscle tone and spasticity in individuals with neurological impairment
In the desire to better understand spasticity mainly in Cerebral Palsy (CP) and to examine vestibular stimulation as a future intervention for .muscle tone reduction, and to be able to describe the change in level of spasticity in subjects with disability and describe interventions effects, a …

An examination of the neurology behind the concept of the Self with consideration given to the effects of neurological impairment
… for our survival. However, by understanding its neurological origins we are able to take advantage of it without being victims of egocentricity. My first chapter, Neurology of the Self, lays down the neurological foundations for our concept of the Self and goes on to argue that, while biology and …

Auditory P300 In College-Aged Females At-Risk for Eating Disorders
Neurological impairment in eating disorders has been widely documented. The P300 component of event-related potentials has demonstrated efficacy in identifying individuals who suffer from mental disorders and cognitive deficits. More recently, a number of researchers have used P300 event-related …

Neurorehabilitation of the hand using the cybergrasp[TM] and mirror image
… Through neuroimaging and functional testing, neurological improvement has been demonstrated in those that engage in mirror therapy. Bilateral training, or simultaneous movement of both sides of the body, has also been studied as a treatment method to improve function after cerebral vascular …

The impact of prematurity on language skills at school age
… findings suggest that in the absence of frank neurological impairment, sophisticated semantic and syntactic skills may be relatively intact in the conversational and narrative language of children born prematurely. The decrements observed on standardized assessments of language and cognition …

Unique variability between the Dean-Woodcock Emotional Status Examination and the MMPI
… the comorbid psychiatric symptoms present in neurological disorders and psychiatric symptoms has grown exponentially over the past decade. A number of authors have argued in favor of the biological basis of psychiatric symptoms and the interaction with neurological dysfunction (Noggle & Dean, …

Brain regeneration in a hypoxic-ischemic mouse model
… greater numbers of infants do not suffer lasting neurological impairment. One of the reasons may be the formation of new cells in the damaged tissue. Hypoxic ischemic lesion was observed in striatum, hippocampus and cortex region, and damaged tissue was getting worse up to day 4 after HI (p11). …
