Idon’t want to relapse into workaholism. But it helped to just be in a sterile space today: organizing and arranging and sorting and grading and planning and hanging student work on the walls. It helped to be away from home where the bananas are turning spotty and brown before my very e...
Conjugate eye deviation after acute hemispheric stroke: delayed recovery after previous contralateral frontal lobe damage In 42 patients with acute unilateral ischemic or hemorrhagic hemispheric stroke, conjugate eye deviation toward the lesioned side was usually of brief dura...

In Giffords's favor is the report that half of her brain - the right hemisphere - was spared major damage by the bullet that passed through her head, front to back, in the Jan. 8 shooting in Tucson. That surgeons quickly removed a piece of skull to relieve swelling and pressure almost...
activated by repetitive light stimulation. In addition to primary visual cortex, other structures may be involved in the process of visual restoration, as is demonstrated by a recent report on spontaneous recovery in a patient suffering from bilateral occipital lobe damage. Despite MRI and PET scans...
The human brain is a highly plastic ‘complex’ network—it is highly resilient to damage and capable of self-reorganisation after a large perturbation. Clinically, neurological deficits secondary to iatrogenic injury have very few active treatments. New
EEG-NFB can also potentially expand brain volume; one study showed frontal lobe brain regions important for attention increase in size after three months of treatment with EEG-NFB (Ghaziri et al., 2013). Thus, it is possible that the neurocognitive improvements experienced by PCS patients who ...
Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes homonymous visual-field loss long considered intractable. Multiple studies now show that perceptual training can restore visual functions in chronic cortically-induced blindness (CB). A popular hypothesis i
If reversible white matter changes consistently correlate with symptoms in mTBI, then imaging could be used to identify patients suffering damage from head trauma and possibly predict early recovery. In addition, demonstrating chronic white matter changes in patients with chronic symptoms but negative ...
