Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropsychological investigations and event-related potentials in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome before and during CPAP-therapy
Sylvia Kotterba,Kurt Rasche,W. Widdig,Christina Duscha,Svenja Blombach,Gerhard Schultze-Werninghaus,Jean-Pierre Malin +6 more
TL;DR: Objective neuropsychological testing is needed in revealing therapeutic effects in OSAS-patients, as remaining deficits during sufficient nCPAP-therapy may reflect irreversible hypoxic cerebral damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Driving simulator and neuropsychological [corrected] testing in OSAS before and under CPAP therapy.
Maritta Orth,Hans-Werner Duchna,M. Leidag,W. Widdig,Kurt Rasche,Torsten T. Bauer,J. W. Walther,J. de Zeeuw,J.-P. Malin,Gerhard Schultze-Werninghaus,Sylvia Kotterba +10 more
TL;DR: The present results suggest that driving simulation is a possible benchmark parameter of driving performance in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome patients and a suitable instrument for assessing therapeutic effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of driving simulator performance and neuropsychological testing in narcolepsy.
Sylvia Kotterba,Nicole Mueller,Markus Leidag,W. Widdig,Kurt Rasche,Jean-Pierre Malin,Gerhard Schultze-Werninghaus,Maritta Orth +7 more
TL;DR: The driving simulator seems to be a useful instrument judging driving ability especially in cases with ambiguous neuropsychological results, and follow-up investigation in five patients after an optimising therapy could demonstrate the decrease in accidents due to concentration lapses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional magnetic resonance imaging mirrors recovery of visual perception after repetitive tachistoscopic stimulation in patients with partial cortical blindness
Burkhard Pleger,Ann-Freya Foerster,W. Widdig,Markus Henschel,Volkmar Nicolas,Andreas Jansen,A. Frank,Stefan Knecht,Peter Schwenkreis,Martin Tegenthoff +9 more
TL;DR: A high capacity of functional recovery and synaptic plasticity of surviving perilesional neuronal structures of primary visual cortex followed by an increased input into post-connected visual areas can be discussed as a basis for the reoccurrence of visual functions.
