DYKE-DAVIDOFF-MASSON SYNDROME AND CHIARI TYPE II MALFORMATION
No full textA Síndrome de Dyke-Davidoff-Masson é uma síndrome associada à epilepsia refratária. A malformação de Chiari II é uma malformação congênita complexa do cérebro. Os autores relatam um caso de uma adolescente de 15 anos apresentando a síndrome de Dyke-Davidoff- Masson associada à malformação de Chiari tipo II. Este caso demonstra uma associação incomum nos exames de neuroimagemque indica a necessidade de avaliar doenças associadas, como mielomeningocele,disgenesia do corpo caloso e a siringohidromieli
David Davidoff presents the Goodwill Medal for 1948 to Dr. Willis Dunbar

Davidoff says that Dunbar is receiving the award for his work "fostering and promoting brotherhood and understanding among racial, religious, and economic groups in our community."

Two Cases of Dyke-Davidoff Masson Syndrome
No full textDyke-Davidoff Masson Syndrome (DDMS) is a rare syndrome characterized by seizures, facial asymmetry, and contralateral hemiplegia or hemiparesis. The typical radiological features of DDMS include cerebral hemiatrophy with ipsilateral hypertrophy of the skull and sinuses. It is usually diagnosed in childhood. Presently described are 2 rare cases of DDMS that were diagnosed in adults based on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain
Coloured thinking
No full textCharles Myers became one of the founding fathers of British psychology (see Costall, 1998) as a result of going on an expedition to the Torres Straits (off New Guinea) organised from Cambridge University. As Richards (1998) wrote, ‘for Myers the Expedition was an epochal experience, deciding him on a psychological career’. However, it is interesting to note the different outcome of that expedition for Myers (and also for Rivers, one of the founders of the BPS) compared with that for McDougall (also a founder of the BPS). McDougall, and hence perhaps his pupil Cyril Burt, saw evidence in their data for the genetic determination of cross-cultural cognitive differences. Myers, and hence perhaps his pupil Frederic Bartlett, saw the methodological impossibility of satisfactorily transferring experimental psychology from the laboratory to the field. Myers realised that their data were unreliable. As Richards wrote of the published work from the expedition, ‘the Reports thus became a virtuoso exercise in the art of writing up unsatisfactory research as positively as possible short of outright dissembling’ (p.145)
Priming of plane-rotated objects depends on attention and view familiarity
No full textThree experiments investigated the role of attention in visual priming across rotations in the picture plane. Experiment 1 showed that naming latencies increased with the degree of misorientation for objects commonly seen in an upright view (base objects) but not for objects seen familiarly from many views (no-base objects). In Experiment 2, no-base objects revealed a priming pattern identical to that observed previously for left-right reflections (Stankiewicz, Hummel, & Cooper, 1998): Attended objects primed themselves in the same and rotated views, whereas ignored images primed themselves only in the same view, with additive effects of attention and orientation. In Experiment 3 ignored base objects only primed themselves in a familiar (upright) view, indicating that priming only obtains when that image makes contact with object memory. These data challenge theories of object recognition that rely on any single representation of shape and contribute to evidence suggesting holistic (view-like) representations for ignored and analytic (view-insensitive) representations for attended objects

A case of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome
No full textDyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a condition characterized by seizures, facial asymmetry, contralateral hemiplegia or hemiparesis and mental retardation. The clinical findings may be of variable degree according to the extent of brain injury. Cerebral hemiatrophy is frequently associated with hemiplegia, convulsions, mental deficit and subsequent epilepsy. In this article, a case of a ten-year-old boy with Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy in magnetic resonance imaging, left hemiparesis in physical examination and presence of seizures is presented
