A idéia baseia-se nas teorias de Luria e Piaget. Luria propôe que as áreas timporo-parieto-ocipitais, que tem como principal função a noção espacial, desenvolvem-se na dependência da integridade das zonas corticais inferiores correspondentes. A agressão ao Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC) nos primórdios da vida deve conduzir ao desenvolvimento incompleto das zonas corticais superiores.OBS.: O resumo na integra poderá ser visualizado no texto completo da tese digital / Abstract: The first basic idea of this thesis is that there is disturbance of the visuo-spatial function in Cerebral Palsy. This idea is based upon the theories of Luria and Piaqet. Luria proposes that the temporal-parietal-occipital areas, which principal role is spatial function, develops based upon the inteqrity of inferior cortical zones. This, lesion to the central nervous system during the first years of life should lead to incomplete development of the superior cortical zones.

OBJETIVO: Determinar las etiologías y factores de riesgo para un primer episodio de isquemia cerebral en adultos jóvenes de 3 hospitales de la ciudad de Lima. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio de casos y controles, multicéntrico realizado en el Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo, Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión y Hospital EsSalud Alberto Sabogal Sologuren. La muestra estuvo constituida por 30 pacientes con primer episodio de enfermedad cerebrovascular y 60 controles pareados por edad y sexo. A todos se les realizó estudios de bioquímicas sérica (glucosa, urea, creatinina, perfil lipídico) y evaluación cardiovascular (electrocardiograma y ecocardiografía). Se realizó también estudio hematológico cuando se sospechó de esta etiología. Las etiologías fueron clasificadas de acuerdo a la clasificación de Baltimore.-Washington Cooperative Young Stroke Study. El procesamiento estadístico se realizó mediante regresión logística múltiple y se calculó el odds ratio. RESULTADOS: Las etiologías más frecuentes fueron el embolismo cardiaco/transcardiaco y la vasculopatía aterosclerótica con 30 % de casos (9 pacientes) cada uno. Los factores de riesgo independientes para un primer episodio de isquemia cerebral en adultos jóvenes de 3 hospitales de la ciudad de Lima fueron la hipertrigliceridemia (p = 0.030), enfermedad valvular cardiaca (p = 0.001) y la anticoncepción hormonal (p = 0.002). El déficit motor fue la forma de presentación más frecuente (50.0 %).La hipertensión endocraneana (6.6 %) y la infección del tracto urinario (6.6 %) fueron las complicaciones más frecuentes durante el episodio agudo y la mortalidad fue del 10 %. CONCLUSIONES: La hipertrigliceridemia, enfermedad valvular cardiaca y la anticoncepción hormonal constituyen factores de riesgo para un primer episodio de isquemia cerebral en adultos jóvenes. Las etiologías más frecuentes en nuestro estudio son el embolismo cardiaco/transcardiaco y la vasculopatía aterosclerótica. / Tesis

Male-female differences in neuropsychological functioning and whether there exists a differential cerebral lateralization between sexes has recently received much attention in the literature. Further research is needed because much of this literature has been plagued by poor experimental design and statistical analyses, and reliance upon measures with little practical significance. The current experiment addresses the question of whether male and female adults with unilateral cerebral lesions have differing neuropsychological profiles and whether these profiles support the hypothesis of differential cerebral lateralization. Subjects were adults with independent neurological evidence of either no brain damage or a unilateral cerebral lesion of either neoplastic or vascular origin. There were 48 with right hemisphere damage, 48 with left hemisphere damage and 28 controls. Each group had equal numbers of males and females, for a total of six sub-groups. The distribution of age, education, lesion locus and severity, and handedness was controlled for all groups. Subjects were administered the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery for Adults. The measures from the Halstead-Reitan Battery were divided into groups of variables representing major aspects of neuropsychological functioning. Results for each variable grouping were subjected to multivariate analysis of variance and appropriate post-hoc procedures. Intra-individual patterns of lateralization (Verbal I.Q.-Performance I.Q. differences) were also examined. Contrary to previous reports, the results failed to produce evidence of a differential lateralization of cognitive functions between sexes. Also, the intra-individual patterns of lateralization showed similar patterns among males and females with unilateral cerebral lesions, although the magnitude of the VIQ-PIQ differences were smaller for females than for males. Several significant sex differences consistent with earlier research were found. Of these, a slight female advantage was found on the Digit Symbol test as well as Tactile Finger Recognition of the right hand. Males performed better than females on Finger Oscillation with the dominant hand and made fewer mistakes in reporting on double simultaneous stimulations. It was concluded that although small differences in neuropsychological functions do exist between sexes, they do not reflect major differences in cerebral organization or overall higher cognitive abilities.
