abstract This paper describes a treatment protocol for threatened stroke in patients amenable to carotid endarterectomy. The protocol includes the use of perioperative anticoagulation, intraoperative electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring, and hypertension or barbiturates to protect the brain against documented ischemia intraoperatively. The rationale and methods for protecting the patient from the threat of thromboembolism and cerebral ischemia during each of the periods of specific risk are discussed. The most unique feature of this protocol is the use of thiopental-induced EEG burst suppression for ischemia unresponsive to hypertension during carotid clamping, which has obviated the use of a potentially dangerous and cumbersome in-line arterial shunt.

Handwriting experience can have significant effects on the ability of young children to recognize letters. Why handwriting has this facilitative effect and how this is accomplished were explored in a series of studies using overt behavioral measures and functional neuroimaging of the brain in 4- to 5-year-old children. My colleagues and I showed that early handwriting practice affects visual symbol recognition because it results in the production of variable visual forms that aid in symbol understanding. Further, the mechanisms that support this understanding lay in the communication between visual and motor systems in the brain: Handwriting serves to link visual processing with motor experience, facilitating subsequent letter recognition skills. These results are interpreted in the larger context of the facilitatory effect that learning through action has on perceptual capabilities.

Individual animals vary in their behaviors. This is true even when they share the same genotype and were reared in the same environment. Clusters of covarying behaviors constitute behavioral syndromes, and an individual’s position along such axes of covariation is a representation of their personality. Despite these conceptual frameworks, the structure of behavioral covariation within a genotype is essentially uncharacterized and its mechanistic origins unknown. Passing hundreds of inbred Drosophila individuals through an experimental pipeline that captured hundreds of behavioral measures, we found sparse but significant correlations among small sets of behaviors. Thus, the space of behavioral variation has many independent dimensions. Manipulating the physiology of the brain, and specific neural populations, altered specific correlations. We also observed that variation in gene expression can predict an individual’s position on some behavioral axes. This work represents the first steps in understanding the biological mechanisms determining the structure of behavioral variation within a genotype.
