Abstract
Intraoperative spinal cord monitoring consists in a subcontinuous evaluation of spinal cord sensory-motor functions and allows the reduction the incidence of neurological complications resulting from spinal surgery. A combination of techniques is used: somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), motor evoked potentials (MEP), neurogenic motor evoked potentials (NMEP), D waves, and pedicular screw testing. In absence of intraoperative neurophysiological testing, the intraoperative wake-up test is a true form of monitoring even if its latency long and its precision variable. A 2011 survey of 117 French spinal surgeons showed that only 36% had neurophysiological monitoring available (public healthcare facilities, 42%; private facilities, 27%). Monitoring can be performed by a neurophysiologist in the operating room, remotely using a network, or directly by the surgeon. Intraoperative alerts allow real-time diagnosis of impending neurological injury. Use of spinal electrodes, moved along the medullary canal, can determine the lesion level (NMEP, D waves). The response to a monitoring alert should take into account the phase of the surgical intervention and does not systematically lead to interruption of the intervention. Multimodal intraoperative monitoring, in presence of a neurophysiologist, in collaboration with the anesthesiologist, is the most reliable technique available. However, no monitoring technique can predict a delayed-onset paraplegia that appears after the end of surgery. In cases of preexisting neurological deficit, monitoring contributes little. Monitoring of the L1-L4 spinal roots also shows low reliability. Therefore, monitoring has no indication in discal and degenerative surgery of the spinal surgery. However, testing pedicular screws can be useful. All in all, thoracic and thoracolumbar vertebral deviations, with normal preoperative neurological examination are currently the essential indication for spinal cord monitoring. Its absence in this indication is a lost opportunity for the patient. If neurophysiological means are not available, intraoperative wake-up test is a minimal obligation.

Abstract
One experimental approach for the treatment of allergic reactions is the stimulation of immunoregulatory NKT cells with the synthetic glycolipid αgalactosylceramide. For a first evaluation of the immunomodulatory potential of αGalCerMPEG a human in vitro allergy model was exploited. Acting as an adjuvant, the glycolipid induced an enhanced Th1-biased allergen-specific immune response of autologous lymphocytes. In a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation, αGalCerMPEG-activated NKT cells promoted a cytokine environment in the spleen, leading to priming of Th1 cells. The shift towards a Th1-dominated allergen-specific immune response thus might mediate the abrogation of allergic airway inflammation and thereby might provide a valid option for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Disorders of consciousness have been related to different disconnection patterns as assessed by neuroimaging tools such as PET or fMRI. In this report, we use resting-state functional MRI acquisition and a functional connectivity analysis by graph of brain networks, to investigate the global residual connection pattern in a patient with consciousness disorders following post-anoxic injury. We then compare this pattern with those of a group of twenty controls. We observed that the patient's graph presents multiple disconnections in primary areas and in high-order associative areas. This pattern is consistent with a vegetative state, as reported by other groups. Further, the informations conveyed by this approach are consistent with those provided by PET, fMRI and EP. This new approach presents a very strong potential for diagnosis for consciousness disorder patients since it is applicable very early after the insult.

Abstract
According to the hygiene hypothesis, triggering the immune system with microbial components during childhood balances the inherent Th2 bias. In contrast, specific immunotherapy involves exposure of the patient to the allergen in order to achieve desensitization to subsequent contact. In a human in vitro allergy model the potential of the TLR2/6 agonist BPPcysMPEG to modulate antigen presenting cells and allergen-specific immune responses was evaluated. Specific immunomodulation via co-administration of the allergen and BPPcysMPEG enhanced expression of co-stimulatory molecules on DC and increased secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α. Acting as an adjuvant, BPPcysMPEG elevated allergen-specific immune responses in co-culture with autologous lymphocytes. Although administration of BPPcysMPEG alone enhanced expression of co-stimulatory molecules on DC, proliferation of autologous lymphocytes was not induced. Based on this finding, the potential of BPPcysMPEG to reduce allergic airway inflammation by preventive modulation of the innate immune system via TLR2/6 agonization was investigated in mice. Local administration of BPPcysMPEG altered cellular influx and cell composition in BAL fluid. Furthermore, the Th2-associated cytokines IL-4 and IL-5 were diminished. Allergen-specific restimulation of cells from mediastinal lymph nodes and splenocytes suggested an alteration of immune responses. The treatment with BPPcysMPEG induced a Th1-dominated cytokine milieu in mediastinal lymph nodes, while allergen-specific immune responses in splenocytes were diminished. The co-administration of allergen and BPPcysMPEG reduced cytokine secretion upon restimulation in mediastinal lymph nodes and splenocytes. From these data we conclude that BPPcysMPEG was able to influence the immune system with regard to subsequent allergen contact by TLR2/6 agonization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A meta-analysis was performed to estimate the predictive power (odd ratio, OR) for awakening of auditory event-related potential (ERP) components in low responsive patients with stroke or hemorrhage, trauma, anoxic, post-operative, and metabolic encephalopathy etiologies. METHODS We reviewed MEDLINE and analyzed citations for retrieved articles. Logistic regressions were applied on patient samples (Glasgow Coma Scale <12) across and for separate etiologies. RESULTS For stroke and hemorrhage the ORs with 95% confidence intervals were: 2.05 [1.12-3.75] (N100), 4.47 [1.92-10.44] (MMN), 10.29 [2.00-52.79] (P300), for trauma: 1.63 [0.70-3.80] (N100), 4.72 [1.35-16.44] (MMN), 12.89 [4.82-34.43] (P300), anoxic: 8.03 [2.83-22.75] (N100), 15.50 [4.27-56.26] (MMN), 5.93 [2.38-14.77] (P300), post-operative: 10.66 [1.98-57.50] (N100), metabolic encephalopathy: 2.12 [0.34-13.13] (N100), 3.60 [0.28-46.36] (MMN), 7.71 [0.75-79.77] (P300), and all etiologies: 2.85 [1.91-4.27] (N100), 6.53 [3.55-12.01] (MMN), and 8.79 [4.88-15.83] (P300). Based on six N100 studies (N=548 patients), five MMN studies (N=470), and six P300 studies (N=313), the N100, MMN, or P300, when present, significantly predicted awakening, P300 and MMN being significantly better predictors than N100. CONCLUSIONS The MMN and P300 appear to be reliable predictors of awakening. SIGNIFICANCE The prognostic assessment of low responsive patients with auditory ERP should take into account both MMN and P300.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyse relevant literature and to express an expert point of view concerning the interest of electroencephalography and evoked potentials recordings in the evaluation of severe head trauma in adults in the context of a consensus conference. MATERIAL AND METHODS Scientific databases have been checked on the Internet using key-words. The summaries of 340 papers have checked out. Consequently 94 papers have been thoroughly analysed. Fifty-nine of them are cited in the text of this paper. RESULTS Electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials (Eps) evaluate the functional status of the brain. They augment the clinical examination. They are non invasive and easy to perform at patient's bedside. The EEG evaluate globally the functional status of the brain but it is very sensitive to sedative and anaesthetic drugs. It can disclose subclinical or electroclinical epileptic seizures. When reactivity to sensory stimulations can be elicited, this can be considered a prognostic indicator for a good outcome. Evoked potentials are less influenced by sedative drugs. There are several types of evoked potentials, each one with a different localizing value. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (or short-latency Eps) evaluate the auditory nerve and brainstem. When normal they have no specificity. When abnormal they are an indicator of a poor or bad outcome. Somatosensory and auditory middle-latency Eps evaluate the primary cortex. In coma due to traumatic brain injury the presence of primary cortex components is an indicator of a good outcome and its absence is an indicator of a poor outcome at least when there is no focal brain lesion as to have the primary cortex component to be absent. Event-related potentials evaluate associative brain areas. When they are present in a comatose patient they favor the idea that some cognitive processes are active and they have a high positive predictive value for a return to consciousness. The electrophysiological evaluation can help to identify atypical situations and pathologies close to coma, disclose nonconvulsive seizures and localize certain complications or dysfunctions in atypical cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Electrophysiological correlates of perceptual asymmetry for dichotic pitch discrimination were investigated in 12 right-handed volunteers, whose dichotic listening performances attested the classical 'right ear advantage' in a verbal discrimination task. METHODS Event related potentials (ERPs), elicited by dichotic and binaural pairs of tones applied in a classical oddball paradigm including right ear targets, left ear targets and binaural targets (5% occurrence each) were recorded from medial and lateral scalp locations. Latencies and baseline to peak amplitudes were measured for P1, N1, P2, N2 and P3 components. RESULTS ERPs recorded in response to dichotic (compared with binaural) target pairs, exhibited delayed latencies for N2 and P3, correlated with prolonged RTs, probably linked to greater difficulty in identification of the target. They also displayed enhanced N1 and P2 voltages, which may reflect the simultaneous activation of two different populations of neurons in the auditory cortical areas. We observed specific lateralization effects for pitch discrimination with a left ear advantage on latency of early components. CONCLUSIONS Together with amplitude asymmetries in the N2 component, the findings bring strong electrophysiological support to Kimura's structural model for dichotic perceptions with a right hemisphere prevalence in a pitch discrimination task.

Abstract
The first results concerning the role of event related potentials (P300) in assessing a prognosis in comatose patients reported in the literature have been encouraging. The cause of the coma is an important prognostic factor by itself, especially when traumatic and anoxic comas are compared, with a less favorable prognosis in anoxic coma. In our study, only anoxic patients have been investigated using somatosensory evoked potentials, brainstem auditory evoked potentials P300 auditory event-related potentials. Clinical evaluation was performed using Glasgow, Liege and Jouvet coma scales. In twenty patients studied, six had a positive P300 and three of them awake. Out of the 14 patients without a P300 only one awoke (5%), 12 patients died and one is in deep coma. Despite the small number of patients in this study, the first results confirm the interest of auditory P300, in addition to clinical evaluation and evoked potential testing.

Abstract
A man with Parkinson's disease (PD) suddenly developed a left hemiballismus, and the CT showed a hematoma of the right subthalamic nucleus. After the ballistic movements had disappeared, akinesia and the other parkinsonian signs did not reappear on the left. This clinical case confirms the involvement of the subthalamic nucleus in the akinesia of PD, as suggested by recent experimental data.
