This article deals with electrophysio­logical characteristics of the long sensory tracts and the interneuronic system of the spinal cord in patients operated on the spinal cord. Spinal somatosensory evoked potentials…

This article deals with the breathing function in patients with muscular and neuromuscular diseases. Described are the consequences of weakened respiratory muscles, such as abnormal values of pulmonary function tests,…

The basics of visual evoked potentials are described. In the first part of the paper, the anatomical and physiological principles of the electrical activity recorded over the occipital cortex, the…

Influence of lithium on peripheral nervous function was evaluated by measuring 
of electrophysiological parameters in two 
groups of psychiatric patients (20 lithium treated
 and 20 affective-psychotic patients without the
 lithium…

In developed countries, also in Slovenia − cerebrovascular diseases are the third most com­mon cause for death, and are on the top of the list of diseases that cause disablement. Epidemiological…

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative neurological disease progressing by affecting the abil­ities of communication (verbal, non-verbal, written). These disorders are present in a half to three-fourths of patients. Parkinson’s disease…

Myoclonic jerks may be a benign condition if occurring in otherwise healthy newborns as they fall asleep. The authors discuss the pathophysiology and clinical picture of myoclonus in newborns and infants. They…

If the proximal nerve stump is not available after a peripheral nerve injury, end-to-side anastomosis of its distal stump remains the only treatment modality promising potential recovery of the injured nerve's function. Sensory return…

We studied 30 patients with stroke within the first 21 days of the onset of the symptoms by determining their plasma adrenaline and noradrenalin levels, their neurological status and the…

The article reviews higher nervous activity from a neurological standpoint. The historical background as well as modern concepts of brain - mental interaction are described along with functional cortical anatomy…

Introduction. Neurocardiogenic syncope is the most frequent transitional form of loss of  onsciousness, which is caused by inappropriate triggering of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex. Most commonly, the triggering agent is an…

Modern neurophysiological methods (including the accurate psychophysical Marstock method) were used to determine sensitivity to heat, cold, and pain due to heat and cold (specific thermal and pain sensitivity) in…

Somatosensory evoked potentials have been used in paediatrics in Slovenia for many years. In our study we measured the somatosensory evoked potentials on stimulation of the median nerve. The normal…

The relationship between stressful emotions and sudden cardiac death is sup­ported not only by anecdotal reports, but also by experimental, epidemiologic and clinical data. Links between emotional stress, neural control…

Corticospinal influences on distal and proximal muscles of the upper limb were stud­ied in 14 normal volunteers. The techniques of electrical and magnetic corticospinal tract acti­vation through intact scalp were…
