(20) Tests included recording the scalp EEG, visual and auditory cerebral evoked-potentials, the CNV, cerebral slow potentials related to certainty of response correctness in auditory discrimination tasks, heart rate, respiration and the galvanic skin response.
Petrosal
Definition:
(a.) Hard; stony; petrous; as, the petrosal bone; petrosal part of the temporal bone.
(a.) Of, pertaining to, or in the region of, the petrous, or petrosal, bone, or the corresponding part of the temporal bone.
(n.) A petrosal bone.
(n.) The auditory capsule.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is evident, that the gustatory fibres from the posterior part of the tongue run in the IX nerve and those from the soft palate reach the medulla oblongata via the petrosal and facial nerve.
(2) The anterior inferior cerebellar artery territory may be limited to the lateral inferior pontine and floccular regions but usually extends over the whole petrosal surface of the cerebellum up to the lateral angle.
(3) We have used column chromatography to study prolactin (PRL) heterogeneity in plasma obtained from the inferior petrosal vein, a sampling site very close to the anterior pituitary gland.
(4) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels from the inferior petrosal sinuses and peripheral veins were measured in 10 patients with Cushing's disease.
(5) After rhizotomia (Dandys method) 3 patients died, one of them because of a meningitis, one of them because of damage of the superior petrosal vein and one after ligature of an irregular auditive artery.
(6) Petrosal and jugular vein sampling did not yield a gradient of ACTH.
(7) The fibers from the internal carotid and otic ganglia probably bridge to the internal carotid artery in the carotid canal, those from the otic ganglion after an initial course in the lesser superficial petrosal nerve.
(8) Cytochrome oxidase (CO) activity, an endogenous metabolic marker, was examined in visceral sensory neurons of the rat nodose and petrosal ganglia by using enzyme histochemistry.
(9) Light and electron microscope observations of tiny nerve branchlets attached to the nerve of the pterygoid canal suggests that the source of sympathetic autonomic fibres in the greater petrosal nerve may not be solely confined to fibres 'recurrent' from the deep petrosal nerve, as hitherto believed.
(10) Aim of the present study was the evaluation of ACTH and beta-endorphin-like-immunoreactivity (beta-ELI) in the inferior petrosal sinuses (IPS's) and in the peripheral blood of patients with Cushing's disease (Group 1), with GH- or PRL-secreting adenomas or nontumoral hyperprolactinemia (Group 2).
(11) A multihormonal response to CRH during inferior petrosal sinus sampling in patients with Cushing's disease has recently been described.
(12) The cause of the compression was found to be a giant venous varix formed by the dilatation of the outflow vein from a dural arteriovenous fistula located in the superior petrosal sinus.
(13) Major neurologic complications have occurred in only 0.2% of procedures (one of 508) performed at the National Institutes of Health and in 0.5% of a subset of these procedures (one of 184) that were performed with a specially designed petrosal sinus catheter.
(14) Evaluation of somatostatin levels in petrosal sinus blood (which collects pituitary effluent blood) showed that ICV administration of GRF stimulated a release of somatostatin into the blood.
(15) The anatomy of the anastomoses between the inferior petrosal sinus, the internal jugular vein, and the venous plexuses at the base of the skull varies, but it is almost always possible to catheterize the inferior petrosal sinus.
(16) Two complications, one in association with frontal vein phlebography and one in association with inferior petrosal sinus phlebography, are presented.
(17) In 4 out of 7 patients basal serum PRL concentrations in the inferior petrosal sinus ipsilateral to the tumor were higher than in the contralateral; only two out of 4 showed an increase in PRL levels after oCRH injection.

(19) Petrosal neurons as well as their endings in the carotid body lacked dopamine- and L-DOPA-LI.
(20) Eighty-six per cent of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the distal petrosal ganglion also contained DOPA decarboxylase; as these cells do not express the norepinephrine-synthesizing enzyme, dopamine beta-hydroxylase, these data indicate that the catecholaminergic carotid body afferent neurons are dopaminergic.
