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 ...
Behavioral sensitization: Characterization of enduring changes in rotational behavior produced by intermittent injections of amphetamine in male and female rats
(Springer-Verlag, 1984-12)
Factors influencing the behavioral sensitization (“reverse tolerance”) produced by intermittent amphetamine (AMPH) injections were studied by quantifying rotational behavior in rats that had a unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine ...
Effects of kainic acid and radiofrequency lesions of the pulvinar on visual discrimination in the monkey
(Elsevier, 1984-05-23)
Monkeys with thermocoagulation or kainic acid lesions of the pulvinar and unoperated control monkeys were tested in two tasks: pattern discrimination retention and color discrimination learning in which the stimuli were ...
Affect and cognition in the context of home: The quest for intangibles
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Human Sciences Press; Human Sciences Press ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1984-06)
The three papers in this special issue represent an important advance in the effort to understand people's attachment to place. Economic factors do not provide an adequate explanation; it is necessary to seek less tangible ...
Striatal dopamine release stimulated by amphetamine or potassium: influence of ovarian hormones and the light-dark cycle
(Elsevier, 1984-10-08)
The release of endogenous dopamine (DA) from rat striatal tissue was studied in an in vitro superfusion system following hormonal manipulations in vivo. Progesterone treatment in estrogen-primed ovariectomized female rats ...
Rod saturation in b-wave of the rat electroretinogram under two different anesthetics
(Elsevier, 1984)
B-wave increment threshold experiments in the rat show that "rod saturation" occurs at different background levels with different anesthetics. Rod saturation builds up over the first 60 sec of light adaptation in pentobarbital ...
Impact of urban nature: A theoretical analysis
(Elsevier, 1984-10)
The stresses and strains of the urban environment are widely acknowledged. The means for recovery, for recuperation, are perhaps less evident. In particular, the role of environmental configurations in this process is often ...
Sex differences in the effects of early experience on the development of behavioral and brain asymmetries in rats
(Elsevier, 1984-09)
The influence of early experience (preweaning handling) on the development of several postural/motor asymmetries (side bias in an open field, turn preference in a T-maze, amphetamine-induced rotational behavior, tail ...
A simple in vitro technique to measure the release of endogenous dopamine and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid from striatal tissue using high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection
(Elsevier, 1984-05)
An easily constructed, inexpensive and simple system is described for the superfusion of neural tissue. To characterize the system, the dynamics of endogenous dopamine and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid release from striatal ...
