Description
The papers presented in this volume have been chosen from those presented at the Sixth International Evoked Potentials Symposium. The
well chosen title Functional Neuroscience reflects that all of the measures described are of function (as opposed to form) and
functional also in the sense of clinical applicability. The book presents a balanced view across a broadening field, with special attention
for clinical utility, as clinical findings also contribute to a furtherance of basic knowledge, leading to improved clinical utility.
This
carefully chosen selection of papers conveys well the utility, the action and the promise within this area of functional neuroscience.
Contents
Preface. List of Contributors. Section I. Evoked–potentials updates and advances in signal analysis. Visual evoked potentials:
recent advances. Auditory evoked potentials: clinical applications and future trends. Clinical utility of somatosensory evoked potentials
(SEPs): present debates and future trends. Electrophysiological assessment of retinal dopaminergic deficiency. Transcranial magnetic
stimulation: a tool for mapping the central nervous system. Event–related potentials (ERPs) as a measure of complex cognitive function.
Clinical utility of evoked potentials. The clinical utility of event–related potentials to a short–term memory task. Clinical
utility of evoked potentials in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Stimulus–related evoked potentials: from basic
science to clinical neuropharmacology. Evoked magnetic fields. Functional brain mapping using a MRI–linked whole head magnetoencephalography
(MEG) system. New concepts of brain source imaging and localization. Section II. Visual evoked potentials. Electrophysiology
of retina and optic nerve: effects of changes in serum glucose and of exogenous adenosine in vitro. Altitudinal visual stimuli and the
cruciform model of evoked potentials. Acetylcholine and the visual evoked potential. The i–wave: bridging flash and pattern electroretinography.
Optic neuritis: swelling and atrophy. ERPS reflecting parallel and serial processing of colour arrays. Section III. Somatosensory
evoked potentials. Locating the cortical sources of somatosensory evoked responses by integration of EEG and MEG. N30 wave of somatosensory
evoked potentials in Parkinson's disease: a pharmacological approach. Median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials in cervical syringomyelia:
pre– and postoperative electro–clinical correlations. SEF–MEG localization of somatosensory cortex as a method for
presurgical assessment of functional brain area. Functional organization of the primary sensory cortex in humans: a neuromagnetic study.
A novel sensory evoked potential for selective monitoring of the ventral spinal cord: from bench to bedside. CO2–laser
and electric somatosensory evoked potentials in Friedreich's ataxia. Section IV. Event–related and cognitive evoked potentials.
Cerebral function deficit in cardiac surgical patients investigated with P300 and neuropsychological tests. Dual task performance: effects
of increasing difficulty on auditory ERPs and RTs. An electrophysiological dichotic syllable test: normative data for a right–handed
population. Multichannel magnetoencephalographical recordings: separation of cortical responses to different chemical stimulation in
man. Effects of attention on visual ERPS in children with specific learning disability. The use of P300 as a mental chronometer in closed
head injury patients. Section V. Motor–evoked potentials. Motor cortex mapping with combined MEG and magnetic stimulation.
Movement–related cortical potentials after automatized and controlled writing–related movements. Magnetic stimulation in
ALS – A single motor unit study. Neuromagnetic study of movement–related somatosensory gating. Inhibitory cortical phenomena
studied with the technique of transcranial stimulation. Evaluation of the functional state of the somato–motor system using SEP
and interfering stimuli. Subject index.
