Systemic hormonal and physiological abnormalities in anxiety disorders
(Elsevier, 1988)
Among the studies of systemic hormonal and physiological abnormalities associated with anxiety disorders, the most consistent and extensive findings suggest (a) peripheral adrenergic hyperactivity (including increases in ...
Susceptibility to sensitization. II. The influence of gonadal hormones on enduring changes in brain monoamines and behavior produced by the repeated administration of -amphetamine or restraint stress
(Elsevier, 1988-09-01)
Repeated amphetamine use produces an enduring sensitization of brain dopamine (DA) systems and behavior. Repeated exposure to stress can also produce sensitization, and amphetamine and stress may be interchangeable in this ...
Genetic Algorithms and Machine Learning

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 ...
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). ...
Some thoughts on the relations between animal and human drug-taking
(Elsevier, 1983)
1. 1. Results of studies of drug self-administration have frequently been suggested as indicators of the potential for abuse of these drugs by humans. Historical data (pre 1970), although scant, supported this suggestion ...
Sex differences in amphetamine-elicited rotational behavior and the lateralization of striatal dopamine in rats
(Elsevier, 1980)
Sex differences are described in both a lateralized behavior (amphetamine-elicited rotation) and in the lateralization of striatal dopamine (DA) content. Amphetamine (AMPH) elicited significantly more partial turns, total ...
Epilepsy, neuropsychological deficits, and EEG lateralization
(Elsevier, 1987)
One hundred eight epileptic patients (59 men, 49 women; 55% partial seizures, 45% generalized) were examined on 45 indices comprising a modified Halstead Neuropsychological Test Battery. Factor analyses identified five ...
An inability of [gamma]-acetylenic GABA to block eating evoked by hypothalamic stimulation
(Elsevier, 1980)
Several lines of evidence have implicated the nigrostriatal dopamine system and the neocortex for eating occurring either spontaneously or in response to electrical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus (ESLH). GABA-ergic ...
