But in a tentative and schematic way, may collegues and I (Mishkin) can begin to describe how the brain remembers. Ultimately, to be sure, memory is a series of molecular events. What we chart is the territory within which those events... more
A complex link exists between vision and unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Firstly, USN is not a perceptual deficit, secondly, USN is not necessarily accompanied by a visual deficit and finally, USN can be observed in non-visual... more
The visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) response is an event-related potential (ERP) component, which is automatically elicited by events that violate predictions based on prior events. VMMN experiments use visual stimulus repetition to... more
The exploitation of cassava tubers (Manihot utilissima) for various industrial, medicinal and food products requires the removal of the cortex, which is commonly carried out manually. Mechanization of this process has the potential of... more
Previous research has shown that word-to-picture matching for targets that cannot be named at pre-test results in improved naming relative to untreated control items for people with aphasia. This paper replicates and extends this finding... more
Colour agnosia concerns the inability to recognise colours despite intact colour perception, semantic memory for colour information, and colour naming. Patients with selective colour agnosia have been described and the deficit is... more
In this study, the effects of vigabatrin on spike-and-wave discharges (SWDs) were measured in WAG/Rij rats, an animal model of absence epilepsy. Vigabatrin was used with the aim of enhancing GABAergic neurotransmission, and in this way to... more
Zoothamnium niveum (Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1831) Ehrenberg, 1838, a colonial, sessile representative of the Peritrichida (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophora) from the mangrove channels of Twin Cays (Belize Barrier Reef, Caribbean Sea), is... more
Synaesthesia, a neurological condition affecting approximately .05% of the population, is characterised by anomalous sensory perception: a stimulus in one sensory modality triggers an automatic, instantaneous, consistent response in... more
