Brain cortical thickness in ADHD: age, sex, and clinical correlations.

Objective: Longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown reduced cortical thickness (CT) in individuals with ADHD, but this abnormality disappears with age, suggesting developmental delay. However, cross-sectional MRI studies have shown reduced CT, suggesting abnormal development. The aim of this study was to compare whole-brain CT in male and female children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD with whole-brain CT in matched control participants.

Neuroelectric alterations in strabismus.

Background: Neurometry measures bioelectrical cerebral activity qualitatively and quantitatively and is obtained from digital cerebral mapping. This methodology allows determination of the efficiency of short and long association tracts contained in the white matter through coherence analysis. Our objective was to demonstrate neurometric alterations in the cerebral cortex of subjects with essential strabismus.

[Dissociated deviation. A strabismus of cortical origin].

Background: We undertook this study to determine the cortical alterations related to the origin of dissociated deviation.

Methods: This was a prospective, descriptive and observational study that included 10 children with diagnosis of dissociated horizontal deviation, without previous evidence of neuronal damage. Manual, cerebral and ocular dominance were determined, as well as sensorial state and visual perceptual profile.

[Paradoxical cortical response during the intermittent photo stimulation in the dissociated strabismus].

Objectives: To determine the behavior of the visual cerebral cortex during the photo stimulation in the dissociated strabismus.

Material And Methods: We elaborated a digital cerebral mapping using the international 10-20 system with 21 electrodes and an option of a register of 32 channels with established parameters in every period (printed and with pulse monitoring) applied to two children with dissociated strabismus. We registered and evaluated the cortical response to different stimuli: luminous, hyperventilation, closing and opening of eyelids, asleep and awake; through digital electroencephalography, as well as the registering of ocular movements with electroculography and video film with infrared light.
