Combining rTMS and CIMT: A "one-size-fits-all" therapy for congenital hemiparesis?
In the past decade, we have experienced dramatic progress in the treatment of children with congenital hemiparesis.1 One important step was the introduction of intensive rehabilitation approaches based on principles of motor learning and neuroplasticity, such as constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and intensive bimanual training. Often these approaches are implemented in socially stimulating "camp" environments.

Cognitive deficits of pure subcortical vascular dementia vs Alzheimer disease: PiB-PET-based study
Conclusions: Patients with PiB(–) SVaD were better at memory but worse at frontal function than patients with PiB(+) AD. The differences in memory/frontal functions observed between the 2 groups, however, could not differentiate all individual data due to some overlap in the cutoff threshold.

Classifying Patients with Spatial Neglect by "Aiming" Versus "Where" Spatial Bias May Explain Differential Response to Bromocriptine Treatment (P03.261)
CONCLUSIONS: Classifying spatial neglect may be vital to interpreting rehabilitation outcomes and treatment studies. In this group study, larger than those performed previously, patients with "aiming" bias appeared to respond favorably to bromocriptine. However, "aiming" neglect patients may also have had milder neglect than those with "where" bias. Therefore, identifying "aiming" bias may also identify milder forms of neglect likely to respond to bromocriptine. Future studies with more bias-characterized patients are indicated.Disclosure: Dr. Chaudhari has nothing to disclose. Dr. Shah has nothing to disclose. Dr. Goedert...

How experienced community neurologists make diagnoses during clinical encounters
We describe 3 core domains of diagnosis: 1) clinical (C), 2) laboratory and electrodiagnostics (L), and 3) neuroimaging (N). Neurologists were uniform in their practices across these domains except within the clinical domain, where the physical examination varied considerably among clinicians. All neurologists coordinated findings from the 3 domains to arrive at a final diagnosis. This practice of coordination varied across common disease categories (e.g., meningitis vs dementia). To codify this variance, we developed a provisional model of diagnostic practice derived from the data consisting of a 3-point coordinate shorth...

The Feeling That 'I Can Say It in My Head' Predicts Word-by-Word Success in Subsequent Aphasia Treatment. (P2.118)
CONCLUSIONS: In one individual, self-reported internal naming predicted success and rate of learning on a word-by-word basis during speech therapy for anomia. This suggests that claims of inner speech may be more reliable than previously appreciated, and may also be clinically relevant. These self-reports could improve accuracy of prognosis, or potentially be used to guide treatment on a word-by-word basis.Disclosure: Dr. Hayward has nothing to disclose.

Promoting Locomotor Learning with Spinal Direct Current Stimulation- Pilot Data (S28.005)
CONCLUSION: After interim analysis, we repowered the study and determined that 14 additional healthy volunteers per group will be needed, to achieve a statistical significance of 97.5 percent and a power of 0.80. Results gathered at this stage will allow us to further assess the effect of tDCS at different stages of locomotor learning, including online, offline, and total learning-- necessary for application in future neurorehabilitation trials involving patients with spinal cord injury and stroke.
