The brain's sensory processing systems are modified during perceptual learning. To learn more about the spatial organization of learning-related modifications, we trained rats to utilize the sensory… (More)
Rats use their facial vibrissae ("whiskers") to locate and identify objects. To learn about the neural coding of contact between whiskers and objects, we investigated the representation of… (More)
The presence of "maps" in sensory cortex is a hallmark of the mammalian nervous system, but the functional significance of topographic organization has been called into question by physiological… (More)
This paper introduces improved techniques for multichannel extracellular electrophysiological recordings of neurons distributed across a single layer of topographically mapped cortex. We describe the… (More)
Criteria used in the evaluation and selection of applicants for clinical neuropsychology internships were identified by a survey of the programs listed in The Clinical Neuropsychologist.… (More)
An evaluation of the extent of rehabilitation of 159 haemodialysis patients and 36 transplant patients from 6 of the 9 Danish nephrological centers was carried out. Half of the patients experienced… (More)
Within the last decade, there have been extraordinary discoveries and advances in our understanding of tool-using behavior in animals. We now know that mammals, fish, and even some invertebrates make… (More)
A major function of the whisker thalamus (ventro posterior medial nucleus, VPM) is to transmit signals about surface texture to the barrel cortex. Different textures are known to induce… (More)
An evaluation of the extent of rehabilitation of 512 Danish dialysis and transplant patients, based on a questionnarie, has been carried out. All transplanted patients and dialysis patients and… (More)
Members of the National Academy of Neuropsychology and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America were surveyed concerning current practices in forensic neuropsychology. The majority of… (More)
