Overrepresentation of isolated verbal repetition deficits in aphasic males with stroke: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis (P4.211)
Conclusions:Chronic isolated repetition deficits are more prevalent in men than in women. This finding is clinically relevant because of repetition’s role in language acquisition and recovery, being a main mechanism by which children learn to speak and a major resource in language rehabilitation techniques.Disclosure: Dr. Pertierra has nothing to disclose.

Vascular safety of brain plasticity induction via transcranial direct currents
Experience alters the strength of neuronal connections as a fundamental feature of brain physiology. This process, termed neuroplasticity, appears crucially involved in cognitive processes such as learning, memory formation, and adaptive behavior. Neuroplasticity is increasingly implicated in not only a number of neurologic diseases, but also in restitution after brain injury. Noninvasive brain stimulation can induce and modulate neuroplasticity in humans.1 In accordance with the functional relevance of neuroplasticity, noninvasive brain stimulation not only modulates psychological processes and behavior in healthy humans,...

Subclinical cerebrovascular disease inversely associates with learning ability: The NOMAS
Conclusions: White matter hyperintensities, a marker of cerebral small vessel disease, may have an impact on learning slope. This suggests that verbal learning performance can be incorporated into neuropsychological measures for vascular cognitive impairment and that cerebrovascular disease discovered on imaging affects the ability to learn new information.

Simulation-Based Medical Education in Acute Neurologic Emergencies (P1.059)
Conclusions:Our data confirms the utility of SBME in acute neurologic disorders to improve resident confidence, clinical knowledge, teamwork, and communication skills. This experience allows us to improve future simulations by focusing on updated guidelines and a detailed analysis of resident performance.Disclosure: Dr. Ansari has nothing to disclose.

High-Fidelity Simulation Versus Traditional Didactic Techniques for Teaching Neurological Emergencies to Neurology Residents: A Feasibility Study. (P1.323)
CONCLUSIONS: Simulation based learning offers promise as a tool for objectively assessing some of the ACGME competencies that are more difficult to evaluate via traditional means. Studies with larger N and longer follow-up are needed to assess the efficacy, learner-retention and satisfaction rates among groups.Study supported by AAN education grant 2013.Disclosure: Dr. Agarwal has nothing to disclose.

Timeliness of Neurology Consultations in the Emergency Department: A Quality Evaluation (P4.280)
CONCLUSIONS: Neurologic consultations called from the ED, excluding acute strokes, were completed in an average of 57 minutes. Reasons for prolonged consultations included waiting for results, staffing patients with two neurology services, and multiple simultaneous consult requests. Our department plans to re-evaluate ED consult times every three months to troubleshoot any timing issues that arise. Future studies could evaluate how length of neurology ED consults affects outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Holden has nothing to disclose.

Aphemia: A rare presentation of an acute infarct (P3.277)
Conclusions:Aphemia, or apraxia of speech, is a rare presentation of dominant inferior frontal gyrus infarction. Aphemia is primarily a disorder of articulation, whereas aphasia is a disorder of language. This patient lost her ability to produce speech but was able to comprehend and write fluently. Her deficit did not fit a classic aphasia pattern but rather represented an inability to voluntarily control her oral muscles, resulting in a transient apraxia of the muscles of articulation, chewing, and deglutition. Very few cases of acute aphemia due to stroke are described, all localized to the dominant inferior frontal gyru...

Cognitive Deficits of Large-Vessel and Small-Vessel Vascular Dementia (P6.238)
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with small-vessel VaD are more impaired than patients with large-vessel VaD in the patterns of cognitive deficits. Small-vessel VaD may contribute to cognitive decline by affecting language, visuospatial function and frontal/executive function.Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Na has nothing to disclose.

Leftward Where Bias And Rightward Distraction In Chronic Neglect. (P7.293)
CONCLUSIONS: We replicated previously reported, leftward Where bias in chronic neglect. Future longitudinal research can explore whether ipsilateral neglect caused rightward Aiming errors with right distraction, or whether occurs typically in contralesional neglect. N- participants demonstrated near, not far, asymmetric Aiming. Whether our findings relate to visuo-motor function instroke /neglect (e.g. fall risk) requires further study.Study Supported by: NIDRR/NIHDisclosure: Dr. Barrett has received personal compensation for activities with WebMD.
