In-depth descriptions of lesions in Parkinson's disease (PD) can be found as early as 1953, with research suggesting that in some cases, lesions are observed in the brain stem before the ...

Temporary and reversible decerebrate posture has been produced in laboratory animals by cryogenic, stereotactic lesions placed in the brain-stem reticular formation. 10 ...

The researchers analyzed 36 patients with brainstem lesions, of which 12 led to coma and 24 did not. Mapping the injuries revealed that a small "coma-specific" area of the brainstem ...

The pattern of brainstem lesions correlated with the sequelae of transtentorial shifting due to increased intracranial pressure. Conclusions: These and other rare observations following blunt TBI ...

Visual evoked potentials are useful in detecting subclinical lesions of the optic nerves and visual pathways; auditory evoked potentials are able to detect lesions in the brainstem (thus, they are ...

A study of 36 patients with brainstem lesions revealed that the majority of those in comas had damage in a specific area of the brainstem, while most conscious patients did not. The identification ...

INO results from lesion(s) of the medial longitudinal fasciculus, which is a heavily myelinated tract within the brainstem that connects the paramedian pontine reticular formation-abducens nucleus ...

It is characterized by recurrent neurological episodes separated by time and space, resulting in multiple demyelinating lesions in the central nervous system. Because MS affects different areas of the ...

The Harvard study examined 36 patients with similar brainstem lesions, 12 of which were comatose. The study sought to determine why that dozen of people lost consciousness while the other 24 ...

New diagnostic criteria have been introduced for neuromyelitis optica (NMO), which is now to be known as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). The new criteria were developed by an ...
