Out of a total of 24 patients: 12 had right and 12 had left EEG focus. All patients are severe epileptics, not controlled by medical therapy. The Milner and Taylor Model used in a study carried out in commissurotomized patients was followed. We arrived to the following conclusions: There exist disturbances of tactile memory in patients with temporal EEG focus. There is a learning capacity indicating at least a relative conservation of the intellectual capacity. Differences between patients with right and left EEG temporal focus have not been found in this group. Milner and Taylor suggest the normal participation of both hemispheres in this type of task, and that the left hemisphere would add some identifiable and memorable verbal element.</p>","PeriodicalId":75394,"journal":{"name":"Acta neurologica latinoamericana","volume":"25 3-4","pages":"271-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11476206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We think that myoclonus is a frequent clinical feature in advanced cases of Alzheimer's disease. Our second case is such an example with a chronic evolution. In cases like our first one, with a short history, myoclonus, and atypical, diphasic, periodic complexes in the EEG, clinical differential diagnosis with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease can be very difficult. Alzheimer disease has been considered an unitary clinico-pathological entity. However, transmission to the non human primates has been successfully achieved only in familiar cases but no in the sporadic ones. On the other hand some of his neuropathological features have been found in two cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, one of them successfully transmitted to the chimpanzee. All these points could eventually modify our present unitary concept on Alzheimer's disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":75394,"journal":{"name":"Acta neurologica latinoamericana","volume":"25 1-2","pages":"61-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11601889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our experience with 27 cases of cerebral abscess studied by CT is analized and discussed. The mortality rate in our experience was 15%.
