A traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is accompanied by a documented moderate to severe head injury in significant numbers of SCI patients. In a previous study (Dowler et al., 1995), cognitive deficits were found in 41% of the SCI individuals who were studied with a chronic injury from a traumatic event. The present study investigated whether clinic...

Two experiments examined the role of memory for behavioral episodes in judgments about in-groups and out-groups. Using a minimal group paradigm, participants read either positive or negative trait-relevant behaviors performed by group members. They then were asked to make judgments about the group's trait characteristics. Results demonstrated that,...

In this article, we extend earlier findings of age-related changes in brain morphology on magnetic resonance images to include measurements of the mesial temporal lobe as well as asymmetry measures in regional cortical and subcortical structures. The earlier sample was increased to include 57 children and young adults aged 8 to 35 years. The partic...

Precise timing of sensory information from multiple sensory streams is essential for many aspects of human perception and action. Animal and human research implicates the basal ganglia and cerebellar systems in timekeeping operations, but investigations into the role of the cerebral cortex have been limited. Individuals with focal left (LHD) or rig...

In order to follow the spatial and temporal evolution of neuronal damage, cellular activation and stress responses subsequent to lithium-pilocarpine seizures of various durations in the adult rat, we analyzed the expression of Fos protein and local cerebral glucose utilization as markers of cellular activation, HSP72 immunoreactivity and acid fuchs...

This study evaluated cognitive test performance in African-American and European-American Alzheimer's disease patients with equivalent years of education. Group differences were negligible on a variety of memory, language, and attentional measures, including several widely used neuropsychological tests. Differences between racial groups observed in...

ObjectiveCorticotropin releasing hormone, a hypothalamic neuropeptide, plays a major role in regulating pituitary-adrenal function and the physiologic response to stress. During pregnancy corticotropin-releasing hormone is synthesized in large amounts by the placenta and released into the maternal and fetal circulations. Various endocrine, autocrin...

We have collected several hundred Drosophila melanogaster flies (near Davis, California), isolated them individually, without anesthesia, at the collecting site, and estimated the fitness components of the wild-caught females under different environmental conditions. The fitness parameters measured are fecundity, oviposition rate, and productivity ...

The mechanisms by which the brain times events and stores them in memory for later use is increasingly of interest to neuroscientists. There are a variety of neurological disorders in which skilled behaviors are not coordinated and appear less than fluent, which may suggest a disorder in temporal processing. In this review, two influential models a...
