1. Brainstem
- www.sparknotes.com
- Brainstem - The brainstem, located just above the spinal cord, includes three structures: the midbrain, medulla, and pons. The brainstem controls basic functions such as balance, breathing, and heart rate, as well as basic behaviors such as eating and copulating. ...

- BrainStem Auditory Evoked Response.
- BrainStem Auditory Evoked Responses (BAER) are a diagnostic tool which measures the speed of nerve transmission down Cranial Nerve VIII (the auditory nerve) - the nerve that transmits auditory information from the ear to brainstem. Lesions in the Pons area of the brainstem (the brainstem site where this nerve arises) can slow down nerve impulses from the ear which can be detected in changes in EEG brain activity. ...
- BrainStem Auditory Evoked Responses go by a whole host of acronyms including ABR, AEP, BERA, BAER, BSER, and BSRA which are different combinations of the words brainstem, auditory, evoked, response and potential. ...

- Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials With Logon Stimuli. ...
- The brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP), has shown a deficient cochlear frequency response valuation. ... As a conclusion, we think that the brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) technique with frequency specific stimuli, as logon is suitable to objective auditory and retrocochlear pathology valuation when 'click' studies are not conclusive. ...

6. Summer 1997 News > Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response
- www.southpaws.com
- A Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response is a neurodiagnostic test that records the response to an external auditory stimulus. ...
- Animals with normal hearing and normal brainstem function usually develop a characteristic set of peaks in response to the click - the earliest peaks on the screen represent activity in the hearing receptors, the acoustic nerve, and its collection of cell bodies called the ganglion, and the later peaks represent depolarization of neurons in the brainstem nuclei. ...
- In instances where an animal is believed to have severe brain disease, the BAER can sometimes provide evidence that the brainstem is not transmitting impulses properly. ...

- Brainstem Lesions in Autism: Birth Asphyxia and Ischemia as Causative Factors.
- As in circulatory arrest and other factors that disrupt aerobic metabolism, damage of brainstem nuclei and the cerebellum can result. Visible damage seen in some cases of autism also involves brainstem nuclei and the cerebellum. The brainstem auditory pathway is especially vulnerable to brief total asphyxia. ...

- 2 - Maturation and injury of brainstem auditory nuclei.
- a) Neurotrophic transmitters are produced within brainstem auditory nuclei; these are thought to guide maturation of the frontal and temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex 8, 9 . Impairment of brainstem systems will prevent normal development of higher cognitive centers.
- The auditory pathway in the brainstem is much more than a simple transmission cable. ...
- 3 - Vulnerability of brainstem auditory nuclei .
- a) Myers 31 noted a "rank order" of brainstem nuclei damaged by an episode of total asphyxia.
- b) Most prominent visible brain abnormalities reported in cases of autism have involved brainstem nuclei and the cerebellum 40-47 .
- c) Involvement of brainstem nuclei and the cerebellum is characteristic of damage caused by circulatory arrest and other factors that disrupt aerobic metabolism 21, 22, 39, 48, 49, 50 .
- d) Symmetric bilateral damage of brainstem nuclei, in which the cortex is largely spared, is known as Wernicke's encephalopathy 51, 52, 53 .

- Professor Julian Paton Brainstem control mechanisms in blood pressure regulation .
- Our interests lie in brainstem control of blood pressure. ...
- An important aspect of the condition is the role played by the brainstem - `neurogenic hypertension'. ...
- One way that the brainstem acts is through the baroreceptor reflex. ...
- We have found evidence that the brainstem is also involved in changes over longer timescales. ...
- At present, it is unclear how it affects brainstem neuronal circuitry regulating arterial pressure & the baroreceptor reflex. We have found that angiotensin II can trigger release of nitric oxide from blood vessels localised to a region of the brainstem controlling blood pressure. ...
- By applying this experimental approach in a hypertensive model, we have found that manipulating the actions of angiotensin II & nitric oxide in a highly restricted part of the brainstem can return blood pressure to a normal level. ...
- These findings indicate that the conventional wisdom, that brainstem circuitry is only involved in minute-to-minute control of blood presssure, may have to be reconsidered.

- The Auditory Brainstem Response ("ABR"; 1. 5-15 ms post stimulus), which originates in the VIIIth cranial nerve (waves I and II) and brainstem auditory structures (wave V: region of lateral lemniscus and inferior colliculus). ...
- The Middle Latency Response ("MLR", 25-50 ms poststimulus), includes waves Na (negative wave following ABR wave V, originates in upper brainstem and/or auditory cortex) and Pa (positive wave at about 30 ms, originates in the auditory cortex bilaterally). ...
- Responses to slower modulation rates (<20 Hz) appear to originate largely in cortical structures; responses to faster rates (70 Hz and higher) appear to reflect brainstem processes. ...
- assessment of 8th nerve and auditory brainstem status in adults and children .
- Currently, the brainstem responses are used for the clinical identification ("screening") and assessment of infants and young children with hearing loss (see figure to the left), as well as in the neurophysiological assessment of pediatric and adult patients who may have lesions associated with their VIIIth nerve or brainstem auditory pathways. Our research over the past 20 years has been instrumental in the application of the tone-evoked auditory brainstem response for estimation of the audiogram for example, see our list of recent papers , and we continue this research in the HAPLAB. ...

- encyclopedia.farlex.com
- biz brainstem death.
- In medicine, criterion for determining that ‘death’ has occurred when brain damage results in the irreversible loss of brain function, including that of the brainstem (which is important in the control of many processes which are essential to life, such as respiration and heart rate), so that the individual is unable to live without the aid of a ventilator. Many countries allow artificial ventilation to be stopped once brainstem death has been determined.
- Artificial ventilation and heart beat are maintained after brainstem death has been established if organs are to be removed for use in transplantation procedures. ...
- Diagnostic tests, such as the observation of fixed dilated pupils and the absence of a corneal reflex, are performed by two senior doctors on two occasions to confirm that brainstem reflexes are absent.
