Brain Processing (Auditory Event-Related Potential) of Stressed Versus Unstressed Words in Thai Speech.

This study investigated the effect of the stressed word in Thai language on auditory event-related potential (aERP) in unattended conditions. We presented 30 healthy participants with monosyllabic Thai words consisting of either stressed or unstressed words. We instructed them not to attend to the sound stimuli, but rather to watch and memorize the contents of a silent natural documentary without subtitles.

Visual event-related potential studies supporting the validity of VARK learning styles' visual and read/write learners.

The validity of learning styles needs supports of additional objective evidence. The identification of learning styles using subjective evidence from VARK questionnaires (where V is visual, A is auditory, R is read/write, and K is kinesthetic) combined with objective evidence from visual event-related potential (vERP) studies has never been investigated. It is questionable whether picture superiority effects exist in V learners and R learners.

Projections from the cerebellar interposed and dorsal column nuclei to the thalamus in the rat: a double anterograde labelling study.

It is generally agreed that cerebellar and lemniscal pathways project to largely separate areas of the thalamus and influence different functional areas of the cerebral cortex. Cerebellar afferents arise from neurones in the deep cerebellar nuclei and terminate in the ventral lateral group of thalamic nuclei or the "motor thalamus," whereas lemniscal afferents arise from the dorsal column nuclei and terminate in the adjacent ventral posterior group of thalamic nuclei or "sensory thalamus." However, it remains unclear whether or not these pathways converge onto thalamic neurones in the border zone between motor and sensory thalamus.

Morphology of parallel fibres in the cerebellar cortex of the rat: an experimental light and electron microscopic study with biocytin.

Microinjections of biocytin have been made in the granular layer of the rat cerebellar cortex in order to label the axonal projections of a localised population of granule cells. Light microscopic techniques were used to determine the lengths of the parallel fibres and to measure the spacing and size of the fibre varicosities. Fibres were longest in the superficial one-third of the molecular layer, where mean overall length was 4.
