Although the improvement of speech perception with cochlear implant use may be related to the stimulation of preserved proximal portions of auditory fibres, there does not seem to be a straightforward correlation between improvement of speech perception scores with cochlear implant use and wave V detection in electrically-evoked ABRs.
Fibre tracking of the corpus callosum was performed by placing the Seed on the mid-sagittal slice along the full length of the corpus callosum (Fig. 1C); Tracking of the cingulum fibres, which are shorter and more curved than the corpus callosum, was performed separately for the upper and descending portions of these fibres by using two pairs of Seeds and Targets for each portion.
Although it is not possible to assess the specific characteristics of the portion of the muscle fibre population that is recruited during the sub-maximal stimulation procedure of the present study, the activation of about 40% of the muscle fibres suffices to represent the global contractile characteristics of the quadriceps muscle.
28 Fibre is the indigestible portion of plant foods whereof the insoluble fibre has bulking action and the soluble fibre is fermented by colonic bacteria to short chain fatty acid, including butyrate, which has anti-inflammatory properties.
From the medial geniculate body there is an orderly projection of fibres to a portion of the cortex of the temporal lobe.
Axon, also called nerve fibre, portion of a nerve cell (neuron) that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Fibre are the indigestible portion of plant foods whereof the soluble fibre are fermented by bacteria in the digestive tract and the insoluble fibre have bulking action.
They leave the globe as the optic nerve, in which they maintain an orderly arrangement in the sense that fibres from the macular zone of the retina occupy the central portion, the fibres from the temporal half of the retina take up a concentric position, and so on; when outside the orbit, there is a partial decussation (crossover).
Finally, the anterior superior region (PFt) demonstrated a very selective pattern of connections to motor and somatosensory areas via relatively short fibre tracts, potentially involving a portion of SLF III, with the associated fibre tracts located more laterally than compared to those found for PF and PFm (Fig. 1; Makris et al., 2005).
With the term "axon reflex" Lewis [9] depicted the hypothesis that from one portion of a widely branching sensory fibre which responded to the injury, action potentials propagated antidromically to collateral nerve fibres where they liberated a chemical substance, which in turn caused the flare and enhanced sensitivity of other sensory axons responsible for pain.
