Peculiarities of topography, structure and length of sulci and gyri in left and right hemisphere frontal areas were studied in newborns. Peculiarities of cytoarchitectonics of speech areas 44 and 45 were described in left and right hemisphere of neonatal brain. Differences in the extent of neuron radial orientation and thickness of the cortex especially of layer III were defined. Great variability in square of areas 44 and 45 in left and right hemisphere of neonatal brain was established. A hypothesis on formation of structural asymmetry of the Broca center and its areas 44 and 45 by the moment of birth and heterochronia of these fields development in ontogenesis is discussed.

Background: Apraxia is a motor-cognitive disorder that primary sensorimotor deficits cannot solely explain. Previous research in stroke patients has focused on damage to the fronto-parietal praxis networks in the left hemisphere (LH) as the cause of apraxic deficits. In contrast, the potential role of the (left) primary motor cortex (M1) has largely been neglected.

Background: Nocardia are widely present in nature and considered opportunistic pathogens. They can result in hematogenous spread infection through the ruptured skin or respiratory tract when the host's immune system is compromised. Currently, 119 species of Nocardia have been identified, with 54 capable of causing infections in humans.

Background And Purpose: Nonfluent variant primary progressive aphasia (nfvPPA) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive deterioration of language functions that typically appears with atrophy predominating in the left peri-insular region (left-nfvPPA) on imaging. While both left-dominant and right-dominant presentations have been reported in semantic variant primary progressive aphasia, the other language presentation of frontotemporal dementia, no case series of nfvPPA with predominantly right-sided atrophy of the peri-insular region (right-nfvPPA) have been reported previously. This study explored whether such entities exist and what their clinical features might be.

Objective: Auditory-steady state responses (ASSRs) to stimuli modulated by different frequencies may differ between children and adults. These differences in response characteristics or latency may reflect developmental changes. This study investigates age-related differences in response strength, latencies, and hemispheric laterality indices of ASSRs for different modulation frequencies.

Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) has seldom been used to study visuospatial (VS) circuits so far. Our work studied (I) VS functions in neurosurgical oncological patients by using repetitive nTMS (rnTMS), (II) the possible subcortical circuits underneath, and (III) the correspondence between nTMS and direct cortical stimulation (DCS) during awake procedures. We designed a monocentric prospective study, adopting a protocol to use rnTMS for preoperative planning, including VS functions for lesions potentially involving the VS network, including neurosurgical awake and asleep procedures.
