[Instrumental studies of motor function using "Stabilotest" and "Ataxitest" devices in preschool children].

The paper describes devices used to examine motor functions in preschool children, methods of examinations and presents their results. Instrumental indices of the development of large and small motility in preschool children and objective criteria for the efficiency of stimulant therapy are proposed. It is shown that the devices for examination of motor functions may be successfully used to train coordination functions of a child and to correct static motor and ocular motor performance.

[The computed tomographic morphometry of the brain in minimal brain dysfunction in children 5 to 7 years old].

Computed tomography (CT) morphometry of the brain in preschool children in the critical period reflects the dynamic process of the brain formation, multidirectional laterality of the hemispheres. Close relationships between neuropsychological and CT results demonstrate general tendency of the neuro-ontogenetic process comprising reciprocal interaction of functional activity and structural arrangement of the brain compartments.

[Local administration of cerebrolysin in Raynaud's disease in a 2-year-old child].

A case of Raynaud's disease in a 2-year-old child seen by the authors for 1.5 yr. is described.

[Comprehensive diagnosis of perinatal lesions of the central nervous system in newborn infants and young children].

The authors analyze the current methods of the diagnosis and prediction of perinatal CNS lesions in neonates and infants. Emphasize the importance of revealing non-gross, even minimum manifestations. Provide evidence for the diagnostic and prognostic information content of the elaborated dynamic approach to the assessment of the neonates' neurological status.

[Neurological and neuropsychological characteristics of the functional turn in the critical preschool period].

A total of 124 preschool children aged 5 to 6 years attending kindergartens or placed into children's homes were subjected to neurologic and neuropsychologic examinations. The alterations revealed were inconclusive and of various kinds. On the one hand, they were characterized by an increase by 5 to 6 years of age in the frequency of the minimal signs of pyramidal and cerebellar failure and of the phenomenon of mirror movements and writing.
