The Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology of Stroke The care of stroke patients has changed dramatically in recent years. As well as improvements in the emergency care of the condition, there have been marked advances in our understanding, management and rehabilitation of residual deficits. This book is about the care of stroke patients, focusing on behavioral and cognitive problems. It provides a comprehensive review of the field covering the diagnostic value of these conditions, in the acute and later phases, their requirements in terms of treatment and management, and the likelihood and significance of long-term disability. This book will appeal to all clinicians involved in the care of stroke patients, as well as to neuropsychologists, other rehabilitation therapists and research scientists investigating the underlying neuroscience.

This disorder is typically accounted for in terms of a peripheral deficit that occurs early on in the reading system, prior to the activation of orthographic word representations. The peripheral interpretation of pure alexia has recently been challenged by the phonological deficit hypothesis, which claims that a postlexical discon- nection between orthographic and phonological information contributes to or is responsible for the dis- order. Because this hypothesis was mainly supported by data from a single patient (IH), who also has surface dyslexia, the present study re-examined this hypothesis with another pure alexic patient (EL).

    Effectiveness of Essential Oils from Citrus Sinensis and Calendula Officinalis and Organic

    Cantaurus, Vol. 28, 20-24, May 2020 © McPherson College Department of Natural Science Effectiveness of essential oils from Citrus sinensis and Calendula officinalis and organic extract from fruits of Maclura pomifera as repellants against the wolf spider Rabidosa punctulata Garrett Owen ABSTRACT The essential oils (EO’s) of Citrus sinensis, Calendual officinalis, and Maclura pomifera were extracted via either steam distillation or organic extraction and tested for their repellency effect on the wolf spider, Rabidosa punculata. Essential oil repellency was tested in a Y-maze fumigation test and a filter paper contact test. The data collected was subjected to statistical analysis; the results from the binomial test of the fumigation trials data suggest no significant repellant activity of the fumes of any of the EO’s extracted. Although, Citrus sinensis EO’s presented hope for further studies. Results from the Wilcoxon rank sum test of the contact trials data showed Calendula officinalis as an effective deterrent against Rabidosa punctulata while the other two EO’s showed no significant effects. The isolated EOs from each plant were analyzed using GC/MS to identify the major compounds present. Results from the GC/MS showed d-Limonene to be the major component of Citrus sinensis at 92.56% while major components of Maclura pomifera were (1S)-2,6,6-Trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene at 18.96%, 3-Carene at 17.05%, Cedrol at 16.81%, and a-Terpinyl acetate at 5.52%. It was concluded that d- Limonene is a common ingredient in many insect repellants, but exists as a component of a mixture of several chemicals.

Résumé Joseph Jumentié (1879-1928), par ses qualités de clinicien et sa sagacité d’anatomo- pathologiste, sut faire honneur à ses maîtres en neurologie, Jules Dejerine, Augusta Dejerine- Klumpke et Joseph Babiński. Leur notoriété a laissé dans l’ombre la collaboration précieuse que Jumentié leur a assurée. A côté d’une remarquable thèse de doctorat fixant la sémiologie des tumeurs de l’angle ponto-cérébelleux en 1911, ses nombreuses publications ont abordé tous les domaines de la neurologie. Nous présentons, à titre d’exemple, ses recherches concernant le cervelet, les tumeurs cérébrales et mettons en valeur l’aide fournie à Mme Dejerine dans l’identification des « faisceaux » des grandes voies cortico-spinales au niveau bulbo- protubérantiel par la technique des coupes sériées multiples. Cette évocation est précédée d’une brève biographie illustrée de photos, pour la plupart, inédites. 1 Jules Dejerine (1849-1917) et Joseph Babiński (1857-1932) sont des neurologues célèbres et reconnus mondialement. Leurs travaux n’auraient sans doute pas toute la valeur que nous leur accordons, s’ils n’avaient pas eu l’aide déterminante de collaborateurs compétents et zélés. Joseph Jumentié est l’un de ceux-ci, formé par ces deux maîtres de la neurologie auxquels il resta fidèlement très attaché. Leur célébrité, comme une ombre portée, a plongé dans l’oubli l’œuvre de Jumentié. C’est celle-ci que nous souhaitons remettre en lumière. Joseph Julien Jumentié est né le 28 octobre 1879 à Clermont-Ferrand d’un père Alfred Jumentié (1848-1909) professeur au lycée et d’une mère au foyer Mathilde Poisson (1852-1902).

NEUROLINGUISTICS Valentina Bambini* 1. Definition Neurolinguistics is the study of language-brain relations. Its final goal is the com- prehension and explanation of the neural bases for language knowledge and use. Neurolinguistics is by its nature an interdisciplinary enterprise, and straddles the borders between linguistics and other disciplines that are connected to the study of the mind/brain (mainly cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience). When approached from the point of view of the neurosciences, neurolinguistics focuses on how the brain behaves in language processes, both in healthy and pathological conditions; conversely, from a linguistics standpoint, neu- rolinguistics aims at clarifying how language structures can be instantiated in the brain, i.e. how patterns and rules exhibited in human languages are represented and grounded in the brain. In addition, neurolinguistics has a fundamental clinical impact for assessment and treatment of patients suffering from aphasia and other language pathologies. The field was officially opened up by the nineteenth-century neurologist Paul Broca with his observations of the correlation between language disturbance and brain damage. Since then, over 100 years of investigation into the organization of language in the brain were based on a lesion-deficit approach, in a localizationist perspective. The significance of a brain area was deduced through observation of deficits following a lesion to that brain region, and the exact localization of the lesion was verified through post-mortem examination. The aphasiological era developed a functional model of language production and comprehension that highlighted the 2 Valentina Bambini role of frontal and temporal regions (and connections between them) in the left hemisphere, a model that has informed diagnosis and research up to date.
