A magnetoencephalographic study of brain activity related to recognition memory in healthy young human subjects.

Neural activity associated with recognition memory was investigated using magnetencephalography (MEG) in healthy young subjects. At sensor sites overlying frontal and temporoparietal cortices, magnetic evoked fields (MEFs) revealed a difference between studied and unstudied stimuli, which onset about 400 ms following stimulus onset and lasted about 600 ms. MEG yielded reliable source information revealing the activity of three independent dipoles, located in the right medial temporal lobe (MTL), the right inferior frontal and the left inferior parietal cortices. Our findings suggest that neural activity underlying recognition memory from both superficial and deep brain structures can be monitored by MEG.

Psychiatric aspects of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

This chapter reviewed many of the psychiatric aspects of patients with COPD. It is hoped that this chapter will facilitate an understanding of some of the more common psychological and sociocultural settings in which COPD patients operate and some of the variables that can be utilized to increase these patients' and their families' abilities to adapt by increasing the fit of their environments with the severity of the patients' COPD.
