Correlation between Cortical Excitability and Hand Function in Patients with Subacute Cerebral Infarction by Ling CHEN, Junling WANG, Dongfeng HUANG

“…Objective:To observe the cortical activation characteristics of cerebral motor prediction in patients with subacute cerebral infarction in the palm grasping task, and to explore the correlation between cortical excitability and hand function in patients with cerebral infarction.Methods:A total of twenty-five patients with subacute cerebral infarction who were hospitalized in the first affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2017 to March 2018 were selected as the experimental group, and twenty-five healthy individuals matched with the gender and age of the experimental group were selected as the control group.Event related potentials were used to collect the electroencephalogram signals of the two groups in the palm grasping task, and then analyzed the latencies and amplitudes of the contingent negative variation(CNV)in the cerebral cortex before motor activation.Action Research Arm Test(ARAT)was used to assess the function of hand, and the correlation between CNV amplitude and ARAT score was analyzed.Results:Compared with the control group, the CNV latencies in the midline region of the experimental group were significantly shorter during the left hand grasp and right hand grasp, and the CNV amplitude were statistically significantly increased in the midline, bilateral frontal lobe and primary motor area(M1)(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).There was no significant difference in CNV latency between left hand grasp and right hand grasp in the experimental group(<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05), with the CNV amplitude of Cz electrode in midline statistically significantly greater than that of C4 electrode in contralateral M1(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).There was moderate correlation between the CNV amplitude and ARAT in the non-lesioned frontal lobe, M1 and midline during right hand grasp in the experimental group(F4: <italic>r</italic>=0.510; C4: <italic>r</italic>=0.442; Fz: <italic>r</italic>=0.428).There was moderate correlation between the CNV amplitude and ARAT in the non-lesioned frontal lobe, M1 and midline during left hand grasp in the experimental group(F4: <italic>r</italic>=0.422; C4: <italic>r</italic>=0.496; Fz: <italic>r</italic>=0.446).Conclusion:The neural mechanism of motor anticipation in patients with subacute cerebral infarction is abnormal, the time of brain motor preparation is prolonged, and the non-lesioned frontal lobe and M1 are hyperactivity compensatory during motor anticipation.There was moderate correlation between the cortical excitability and hand dysfunction.Therefore, CNV may be a neural indicator of the severity of hand dysfunction in patients with cerebral infarction.…”

Um xamã yanomami frente ao discurso filosófico-sociológico da modernidade by Leno Francisco Danner, Julie Stéfane Dorrico Peres

“…En este texto, que busca tejer un diálogo entre la literatura y la filosofía-sociología, desarrollaremos un doble argumento, basado en una discusión entre la obra La caída del cielo: palabras de un chamán yanomami, de David Kopenawa y Bruce Albert, y la teoría filosófico-sociológica de la modernidad de Jürgen Habermas: i) el sello distintivo de la literatura indígena, en su género autobiográfico, consiste en la correlación fundamental entre historia personal y destino colectivo (en el nivel socio-cultural y ecológico-espiritual), dinamizada por y basada en el mito, de manera que tal correlación entre la identidad personal y el destino colectivo se ofrece como una clave de lectura epistemológica, estética, política, antropológica y ontológica para acceder al texto-praxis indígena; ii) ello permite deconstruir la visión idílica que la Europa moderna tiene sobre sí misma y su comprensión caricaturesca de las culturas, las epistemologías y los hombres primitivos (no modernos, pre-modernos - porque después de la modernidad no se tendría más nada, ya ella es el vértice de la evolución humana, en términos epistemológicos y ontológicos), en la que, en primer lugar, la modernidad sería racional, generando la individulización, la crítica, la emancipación y el universalismo, debido a la separación entre historia personal y destino colectivo, y en segundo lugar, la cultura tradicional no generaría racionalización ni crítica, ni emancipación ni universalismo, al ser marcada por la imbricación entre la historia personal y el destino colectivo mediado por el mito. …”

Medial and lateral vestibulospinal projections to the cervical spinal cord of the squirrel monkey by Richard Boyle

“…The innervation pattern of iMVST axons resembled that of VOC and cMVST axons but was less extensive and supplied mostly the upper two cervical segments. LVST and cMVST neurons exhibited a predominantly equally weighted innervation of separate and joint moto- and inter-neuronal spinal circuits along their cervical trajectory.DiscussionTheir extensive axon branching distribution in the ventral horn provides a redundant and variable synaptic input to spinal cell groups. …”
