2016 – retracted from the RJN website – it was posted without a formal approval of the Romanian Society of Neuro-Otology (RSNO), authorship was based on RSNO membership since it was intended to be a consensus; first author took responsibility of text similitudes to other articles. This article was never published in print version, being retracted soon after web post.

IMAGING BRAIN NETWORKS – SHORT PRESENTATION OF NEW TECHNIQUES

ABSTRACT

The brain is organised into large-scale functional networks with interactions between them. For the purpose of imaging brain networks, two fMRI techniques are particulary helpful. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is based on the detection of water diffusion, which occurs preferentially in the longitudinal direction of axons, providing a mean to imagine the anatomy of axonal bundles. Functional connectivity is based on the relative synchroy of the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal across brain regions that work together.

Keywords: brain network, functional connectivity, diffusion imaging, connectomics

ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC EVALUATION IN PATIENTS WITH IMPAIRED CONSCIOUSNESS

ABSTRACT

The electroencephalographic examination (EEG) records spontaneous electrical activity generated in the cerebral cortex. The EEG is abnormal in almost all conditions associated with impairment of the level of consciousness. When consciousness is impaired the EEG becomes slowed (episodic or continuous), unresponsive to afferent stimuli, amplitude diminishes until eventually becomes flat. Coma may have various causes. EEG is a diagnostic and prognostic tool in acute anoxic coma. EEG is the only diagnostic tool for detecting a non-convulsive epileptic status.

Keywords: electroencephalography (EEG), coma, impaired consciousness

BALANCE ASSESSMENT USING COMPUTERIZED STATIC POSTUROGRAPHY

, and

ABSTRACT

Equilibrum is a complex process. Combined visual, somatosensory and vestibular inputs are required in order to maintain the body balance. Any dysfunction in one of these channels may lead to vertigo and imbalance.

Computerized static posturography can be used to assess the contribution of these sensory channels in the patient’s balance, calculating each sensory coefficient (visual, somatosensory, vestibular).

Keywords: balance, computerized static posturography, visual, somatosensory, vestibular inputs
