Lyme neuroborreliosis with encephalitis; a systematic literature review and a Scandinavian cohort study

2022

Background Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) presenting with encephalitis is rare and scarcely described. Objectives To describe the available literature on LNB encephalitis and to characterize this patient group through a Scandinavian retrospective cohort study. Data sources Medline, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane library. Study eligibility criteria There was no discrimination on study type, time of publication or language. Participants Review: All articles with definite LNB and confirmed/possible encephalitis. Cohort: LNB cohorts from Denmark, Sweden and Norway 1990–2019 were screened for patients with encephalitis. Methods Review: Adhering to PRISMA guidelines; two authors extracted reviews and asse…

Imagining between ourselves: a group interview approach in exploring listening experiences

2014

In this paper listening experiences are explored through verbal interactions in a group interview situation. By focusing on (1) ordinary and (2) evocative modes of dealing with listening experiences, the present study investigated how imagination mediates between pre-reflective and reflective consciousness and how imagining is shared between persons. Analysis revealed that participants utilised both modes in their discussions for either music or everyday sound samples, although the ordinary mode was the dominant one. The evocative mode was utilised relatively more frequently with the music samples. Group dynamics had an effect on how the mental images and meanings were described and shared …

Recovery from chronic diseases of consciousness: State of the art in neuromodulation for persistent vegetative state and minimally conscious state

2017

Chronic diseases of consciousness (CDC) can still be considered a challenging frontier for modern medicine, probably because of their not completely understood physiopathological mechanisms. Following encouraging evidence on cerebral hemodynamics, some authors have hypothesized a role for neuromodulation in the treatment of CDC patients. In the past 40 years, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) have been used experimentally for the treatment of patients in a severe altered state of consciousness, with some interesting but not conclusive results. The present review summarizes the data currently available in the literature on this particular and debated topic. On th…

Jünger Machines and aviators. The experience of war in young Jünger's photobooks

2013

El modo en que el jünger de los años 30 recuerda y describe la guerra en sus foto-libros concibe la misma principalmente desde la contemplación estética como un espectáculo de la naturaleza, en detrimento de su cruel dimensión moral y personal. Ello, que The way in which the jünger of the 30 s remembers and describes the war in his photobooks conceives it principally since an aesthetic comprehension as a natural spectacle to the detriment of its cruel moral and personal dimension. This, which to a large e

Functional correlate and delineated connectivity pattern of human motion aftereffect responses substantiate a subjacent visual-vestibular interaction.

2018

The visual motion aftereffect (MAE) is the most prominent aftereffect in the visual system. Regarding its function, psychophysical studies suggest its function to be a form of sensory error correction, possibly also triggered by incongruent visual-vestibular stimulation. Several observational imaging experiments have deducted an essential role for region MT+ in the perception of a visual MAE but not provided conclusive evidence. Potential confounders with the MAE such as ocular motor performance, attention, and vection sensations have also never been controlled for. Aim of this neuroimaging study was to delineate the neural correlates of MAE and its subjacent functional connectivity pattern…

THEORETICAL CONCEPT OF LEARNING PROCESS IN FOLK HIGH SCHOOL

2015

<p>Folk high schools during last 160 years have been known for being unique nonformal education institutions with their own philosophical conception established by Danish philosopher N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872). Founded as national consciousness and Danish culture supportive institutions, folk high schools in short time became centres of democracy. The main ideas of these conception – „living word”, „enlightenment”, „enliving”, „school for life”, „personal development” – have made these institutions as providers of personal enlightenment, development and self-realization, where students enlived their transformations through dimensions of body, feelings and mind.</p>

Working memory performance is tied to stimulus complexity

2021

1. Summary Working memory is the cognitive capability to maintain and process information over short periods. Recent behavioral and computational studies have shown that increased visual information of the presented stimulus material is associated with enhanced working memory performance. However, the underlying neural correlates of this association are unknown. To identify how stimuli of different visual information levels affect working memory performance, we conducted behavioral experiments and single unit recordings in the avian analog of the prefrontal cortex, the nidopallium caudolaterale (NCL). On the behavioral level, we confirmed that feature-rich complex stimuli demonstrated highe…
