Deceptive Appearances - Spastic Paretic Hemifacial Contractures in Cases of Seventh Nerve Involvement & #39;Inside & #39; and & #39;Outside & #39; the Brainstem
We present three cases with such phenomenon and have postulated the underlying mechanisms. One patient had intrinsic brainstem glioma, and the others were operated for extra-axial lesions compressing the pons. The former presented with SPHC, whereas the latter two gradually developed this phenomenon following postoperative facial paresis. This condition is possibly due to denervation hyper-excitability of the facial supranuclear pathway or an aberrant regeneration secondary to nerve injury leading to functional facial-nerve nuclear reorganization. SPHC occurrence is not limited to intra-axial lesions but can also be seen a...

CEREBO & #174;: A Portable Device for Non-invasive Detection of Intracranial Hematomas in Real Time
Conclusions: This study establishes the efficacy of CEREBO® to be used as a point-of-care medical screening device for detecting brain hematomas in patients who have had a head injury and is therefore recommended as an adjunct to CT scan. In the triaging or diagnosis phase, it allows for early treatment and thus helps to reduce the secondary injury resulting from the existing and delayed hematomas. (Source: Neurology India)

Insights into the Glutamatergic and GABAergic Connections in the Conductance-Based Model of Subthalamic Nucleus in Hyperdirect Pathway
Conclusion: This work demonstrates that subthalamic nucleus and globus pallidus coupling in hyperdirect pathway can account for Parkinson's symptoms. However, the entire process of excitations and inhibition caused by glutamate and GABA receptors is limited by the timing of depolarization of the model. There is improvement in the correlation between healthy and Parkinson's patterns by increase in calcium membrane potential, however, for a limited time. (Source: Neurology India)
