Based on empirically demonstrated specificity in this paper we developed quantitative electromyographic criteria for diagnosis of neuropathic lesion of the sacral nerves. In applied model we used different diagnostic criteria and their number needed to be positive for dagnosis of abmnormality. So we developed criterial for possible (specificity 75-85%), probable (specificity 85-95%) and definite (specificity ) 95%) nevropathic lesion. Presented criteria will in our opinion contribute to better quality of clinical work and research in the field of quantitative electromyography.

Using single and double pulse electrical, and mechanical stimuli, precisely standardised examination of the penilo-cavernosus reflexes in men was described. For each technique reference intervals were calculated. In addition to the usually used latencies, we also calculated reference intervals for sensation threshold, and reflex threshold of electrical stimulation. The latter two parameters have so far not been used. Our protocol will improve quality of clinical work, as well as research of sacral reflexes.

Contribution provides a comprehensive review of behavioural studies of the working memory and their value for theories and models of working memory. It also provides basis for conecting research activities and findings from different fields of cognitive neuroscience - cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, neuroscience and computer modeling.

In this chapter of the classical international textbook of clinical neurophysiology we presented neurophysiological methods useful in diagnosis of the sacral lesions. Invitation to other similar projects demonstrated that we took over the leading role in the world in this field - we cover almost all similar editions.

MRI is central for the diagnosis of ALS, however, mostly to exclude other conditions. In view of recent developments it seems it will evolve into a more useful and cheaper technique. With stronger field strengths and improved software, MRI offers the potential for improved understanding of cortical atrophy. PET excels in its ability to image the brain at the receptor level. The development of the novel PET ligands with specificity for receptors that have relevance to pathogenic mechanisms can be a useful tool for testing hypotheses generated in vitro in the in vivo patient setting.
