Patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) suffer from continuous regional limb pain and from hyperesthesia to touch and pain. To better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the hyperesthesia of CRPS patients, we investigated their cortical processing of touch and acute pain. ⋯ Our results indicate changes of somatosensory processing at cortical level in CRPS.

To investigate the effect of fatigue of postural and focal muscles on anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs). ⋯ The outcome of the study is important for better understanding of the effect of muscular fatigue on feedforward mechanisms of postural control with possible implications for the elderly and individuals with neurological disorders.

Case Reports
Electroencephalography burst suppression in a patient with dengue encephalopathy: A case report.
To report a rare case of dengue fever presenting with reversible encephalopathy and burst suppression in the EEG. ⋯ EEG burst suppression does not necessarily suggest a poor prognosis in patients with dengue fever.
-
To investigate the anticipatory neural processes associated with the interruptive effects of pain anticipation on attention. ⋯ Individuals with greater anticipatory midcingulate responses may be predisposed to developing chronic pain and hypervigilance toward clinical pain symptoms.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of gender on sensory and cognitive information processing in children by analyzing auditory event-related potentials (ERPs). The major questions were: (1) do ERPs differ between girls and boys aged 7-10years, (2) do gender differences in ERPs depend on the development with age, on task-processing demands, and on the development of neuroelectric networks as reflected by the spontaneous EEG? ⋯ This study provides evidence for accelerated neuroelectric (as reflected by spontaneous EEG), neurofunctional (as reflected by auditory ERPs), and neurocognitive (as reflected by learning performance) development in 7- to 10-year-old girls than boys.
