      Tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound with no physical sound source. Some models of tinnitus pathophysiology suggest that networks associated with attention, memory, distress and multisensory experience are involved ...
    • Near addition lenses as a tool to investigate vergence adaptation in myopic children 

      Sreenivasan, Vidhyapriya (University of Waterloo, 2011-08-12)
      Accommodation and vergence are two interacting ocular motor systems that function to maintain clear and single vision across a wide range of distances. Sustained fixation results in the adaptation of these ocular motor ...

Geoffrey; Gamble, Gregory D.; Harris, Deborah L.; Jacobs, Robert J.; Jiang, Yannan; Paudel, Nabin; Signal, Matthew; Thompson, Benjamin; Wouldes, Trecia; Yu, Tzu-Ying; Harding, Jane E. (Massachusetts Medical Society, 2015-10-15)
      Neonatal hypoglycemia is a common and readily treatable risk factor for neurologic impairment in children. Although associations between prolonged symptomatic neonatal hypoglycemia and brain injury are well established,1 ...
    • Neural modulation of the human visual cortex 

      Abuleil, Dania (University of Waterloo, 2020-09-30)
      Neuroplasticity is a phenomenon that refers to the brain’s ability to reorganize, strengthen, and form neural connections, a process that becomes increasingly more difficult with age. Gamma amino-butyric acid (GABA), the ...
    • A New Portable Digital Meniscometer 

      Bandlitz, Stefan; Purslow, Christine; Murphy, Paul J.; Pult, Heiko; Bron, Anthony J. (Wolters Kluwer, 2014-01)
