Effects of damage to superior colliculi and pre-tectum on movement discrimination in rhesus monkeys
(Springer-Verlag, 1984-08)
Eight rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were trained to detect an instantaneous lateral displacement of a small spot of light. The smallest movement for 79% correct performance was then determined. Severing the splenium of ...
The psychobiology of premenstrual dysphoria: review of theories and treatments
(Elsevier, 1977)
(1) Premenstrual mood changes such as depression, elation, anxiety, hostility and irritability are a common cause of disability in women. (2) The nature of the disorder, the clinical dimensions, the incidence, the psychological ...
Distinguishing between depression and dementia in the elderly: A review of neuropsychological findings
(Elsevier, 1993)
Distinguishing between cognitive deficits seen in depression and progressive dementing, diseases is complex and often difficult clinically. We review recent neuropsychological studies comparing normal elderly individuals, ...
CSF somatostatin in Alzheimer's disease and major depression: Relationship to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and clinical measures
(Elsevier, 1993)
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and major depression have been shown to have overlapping clinical symptoms and biological markers, including decreased concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) somatostatin-like ...
Asymmetry in the effects of unilateral 6-OHDA lesions on eating and drinking evoked by hypothalamic stimulation
(Elsevier, 1985-05)
The present experiment investigated the effects of unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the caudate nucleus and nucleus accumbens on eating and drinking evoked by electrical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus (ESLH). ...
Delayed neurotrophin treatment following deafness rescues spiral ganglion cells from death and promotes regrowth of auditory nerve peripheral processes: Effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and fibroblast growth factor
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-07)
The extent to which neurotrophic factors are able to not only rescue the auditory nerve from deafferentation-induced degeneration but also promote process regrowth is of basic and clinical interest, as regrowth may enhance ...
Changes at multiple levels of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis following repeated electrically induced seizures
(Elsevier, 1990)
Seizures, including electrically induced seizures (ECS), activate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in rats. The present studies were undertaken to characterize the effects of repeated ECS on hormone release and ...
Axonal outgrowth within the abnormal scaffold of brain tracts in a zebrafish mutant
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-04)
The role of specific axonal tracts for the guidance of growth cones was investigated by examining axonal outgrowth within the abnormal brain tracts of zebrafish cyclops mutants. Normally, the earliest differentiating ...
Computer-assisted estimates of lesion sizes and shrinkage in denervated areas from receptor autoradiograms using a digitizing tablet
(Elsevier, 1984-02-24)
Area measurements taken from receptor autoradiograms were employed to estimate the size of striatal kainate lesions and the amount of shrinkage in deafferented projection areas. There was no significant difference in the ...
Animal model of depression: Effects of electroconvulsive shock therapy
(Elsevier, 1981)
We have previously identified a potentially accurate and specific behavioral and neuroendocrine model of depression in the rat. The most effective somatic treatment for severe depressions is electroconvulsive shock therapy ...
