Deepak Agrawal, Kanwaljeet GargNeurology India 2019 67(5):1320-1322 Background and Aims: Dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) lesioning is a widely-used procedure for neuropathic pain which is refractory to other modes of treatment. However, all current techniques depend on thermal or radiofrequency (RF) lesioning of the DREZ. The authors describe a new technique in which mechanical lesioning of DREZ using microscissors. Methods: The authors describe their technique of only using straight microscissors...

KesselsAbstractBackgroundThe strength of synaptic transmission onto a neuron depends on the number of functional vesicle release sites (N), the probability of vesicle release (Pr), and the quantal size (Q). Statistical tools based on the quantal model of synaptic transmission can be used to acquire information on which of these parameters is the source of plasticity....

The beneficial effect of thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) on action tremor has been reported in a few cases of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA); however, several factors should be taken into account regarding the indication for DBS in advanced cases. We performed DBS of the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) of the thalamus for treatment of coarse action tremor in a patient with SCA2 (spinocerebellar ataxia type 2) in the wheelchair-bound stage. Although improvement of the tremor of the proximal...

Abstract Patients with anxiety disorders suffer from impaired concentration, potentially as a result of stronger emotional interference on attention. Studies using behavioural measures provide conflicting support for this hypothesis. Elevated state anxiety may be necessary to reliably document differences in emotional interference in patients versus healthy controls. The present study examines the effect of experimentally‐induced state anxiety (threat‐of‐shock) on attention interference by emotional...

Abstract Disruption to language lateralisation has been proposed as a cause of developmental language impairments. In this study we tested the idea that consistency of lateralisation across different language functions is associated with language ability. A large sample of adults with variable language abilities (N = 67 with a developmental disorder affecting language and N = 37 controls) were recruited. Lateralisation was measured using functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) for three...
