Abstract OBJECTIVE The duration of preexisting profound deafness in patients with bilateral retrocochlear lesions is known to correlate negatively to the extent of auditory restoration after auditory brainstem implantation. There is, therefore, a lack of information regarding the potential of the central auditory system to mediate hearing perception after long-term deafness. METHODS The authors evaluated auditory perception in a case of auditory brainstem implantation after 35 years of deafness. RESULTS Electrically evoked auditory brainstem potentials could be elicited by both stimulus polarities and were consistent with auditory brainstem origin. Discrimination between temporal and spectral patterns in speech could be achieved. This permitted us to distinguish various voice qualities, especially of familiar speakers in quiet surroundings. CONCLUSION The potential of the deafferentiated central auditory system to mediate auditory brainstem implant-induced hearing perception even after very long-term deafness has been demonstrated. Those patients with complete dysfunction of Cranial Nerve VIII for a long period may be considered as candidates for auditory brainstem implantation in the future.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.

AbstractRapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or pictured scenes provides evidence for a large-capacity conceptual short-term memory (CSTM) that momentarily provides rich associated material from long-term memory, permitting rapid chunking (Potter 1993; 2009; 2012). In perception of scenes as well as language comprehension, we make use of knowledge that briefly exceeds the supposed limits of working memory.

AbstractA long-term photographic search programme for minor planets was begun at the Kleť Observatory at the end of seventies using a 0.63-m Maksutov telescope, but with insufficient respect for long-arc follow-up astrometry. More than two thousand provisional designations were given to new Kleť discoveries. Since 1993 targeted follow-up astrometry of Kleť candidates has been performed with a 0.57-m reflector equipped with a CCD camera, and reliable orbits for many previous Kleť discoveries have been determined. The photographic programme results in more than 350 numbered minor planets credited to Kleť, one of the world's most prolific discovery sites. Nearly 50 per cent of them were numbered as a consequence of CCD follow-up observations since 1994.This brief summary describes the results of this Kleť photographic minor planet survey between 1977 and 1996. The majority of the Kleť photographic discoveries are main belt asteroids, but two Amor type asteroids and one Trojan have been found.

AbstractThe large-scale coronal structures observed during the sporadically visible solar eclipses were compared with the numerically extrapolated field-line structures of coronal magnetic field. A characteristic relationship between the observed structures of coronal plasma and the magnetic field line configurations was determined. The long-term evolution of large scale coronal structures inferred from photospheric magnetic observations in the course of 11- and 22-year solar cycles is described.Some known parameters, such as the source surface radius, or coronal rotation rate are discussed and actually interpreted. A relation between the large-scale photospheric magnetic field evolution and the coronal structure rearrangement is demonstrated.
