Transcranial Doppler Assessment of Cerebral Flow Velocity During Cognitive Tasks Roger E. Kelley, MD; Jen Y. Chang, MS; Nancy J. Scheinman, PhD; Bonnie E. Levin, PhD; Robert C. Duncan, PhD; and Shih-Chang Lee, PhD Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography to detect selective circulatory changes during cognitive activity. Methods: We measured cerebral artery flow velocity in 21 normal volunteers by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography during rest followed by cerebral activation. Mean and peak systolic
Neptune has dark storms and eight named moons, although there are more than 8 moons. Source(s): My memory http://burro.astr.cwru.edu/stu/neptune_m...
The umbra is the dark center portion of a shadow. The Moon's umbra causes total solar eclipses, and the Earth's umbra is involved in total and partial lunar eclipses. The umbra is the darkest type of shadow. The umbra is the dark, central part of the shadow. If we are within the Moon's umbra, we see a total solar eclipse.
