Abstract

Topographic analysis of EEG and evoked potentials requires the computer processing of data from multi-lead recording. The use of 20 or more channels is now quite common, straining the resources of the usual EEG machine. We present a design for a high gain, low noise, 32-channel amplifier matched to computer data acquisition requirements. Low cost and small size are additional benefits to the design.

Ipsilateral hemiparesis after putaminal hemorrhage due to uncrossed pyramidal tract.

OBJECTIVE: Previous case reports supported the presence of the uncrossed pyramidal tract in exceptional patients. However, most of these case reports have not fully discussed involvement of the motor cortex controlling the ipsilateral limbs. DESIGN AND METHOD: The authors investigated a 62-year-old man who developed right hemiparesis after right putaminal hemorrhage by using MRI, transcranial magnetic stimulation, functional MRI (fMRI), and sensory evoked potentials. He had moderate weakness including the face, spasticity with brisk deep tendon reflexes and Babinski sign, and impaired vibration and position sense, all on the right side. RESULT: A MRI study showed hemorrhage in the right putamen and the wedge-shaped medulla. A fMRI study during a sequential finger opposition task showed activation in the motor cortex ipsilateral to the finger movements, but not on the contralateral side. Sensory evoked potentials showed cortical response ipsilateral to the side of stimulation. CONCLUSION: The pyramidal tract and the dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway did not cross in the medulla in this patient. In view of the presence of the abnormal shape in the medulla and congenital scoliosis, a congenital factor might be responsible for the uncrossed pyramidal tract and dorsal column-medial lemniscus in this patient.

Cortical regions involved in perceiving object shape.

The studies described here use functional magnetic resonance imaging to test whether common or distinct cognitive and/or neural mechanisms are involved in extracting object structure from the different image cues defining an object's shape, such as contours, shading, and monocular depth cues. We found overlapping activations in the lateral and ventral occipital cortex [known as the lateral occipital complex (LOC)] for objects defined by different visual cues (e.g., grayscale photographs and line drawings) when each was compared with its own scrambled-object control. In a second experiment we found a reduced response when objects were repeated, independent of whether they appeared in the same or a different format (i.e., grayscale images vs line drawings). A third experiment showed that activation in the LOC was no stronger for three-dimensional shapes defined by contours or monocular depth cues, such as occlusion, than for two-dimensional shapes, suggesting that these regions are not selectively involved in processing three-dimensional shape information. These results suggest that common regions in the LOC are involved in extracting and/or representing information about object structure from different image cues.

Neural substrates for depth perception of the Necker cube; a functional magnetic resonance imaging study in human subjects.

We have studied the cerebral activity for the depth perception of the Necker cube by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Three types of line drawing figures were used as stimuli, the Necker cube, hidden line elimination cube and overlapping squares. Subjects were instructed to perceive both orientations of the depth of the Necker cube. They were instructed to shift their attention voluntarily during viewing overlapping squares to obtain a control for the attentional shift in perceiving the Necker cube. A hidden line elimination cube was used as a control for monocular stereopsis. The results showed a clear symmetrical activation in premotor and parietal areas during the Necker cube perception compared with other conditions. The present result suggests that a neural process similar to mental image manipulation occurs during depth perception of the Necker cube.
