Effects of preoperative ibuprofen on pain after separator placement.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Many patients experience pain with orthodontics, but there is no widely accepted standard of care for controlling orthodontic pain. Previous studies were inconclusive as to the most effective way to manage orthodontic pain. The purpose ... Read more...

Age-related alterations in simple declarative memory and the effect of negative stimulus valence.

29 Sep 2009 Healthy aging has been shown to modulate the neural circuitry underlying simple declarative memory; however, the functional impact of negative stimulus valence on these changes has not been fully investigated. Using BOLD fMRI, we explored the ... Read more...

Testosterone and unconscious positive priming increase human motivation separately.

21 Sep 2009 Clinical observations suggest that testosterone generates unconscious broad-spectrum motivations to act. It has also been suggested that subliminal positive-priming techniques also unconsciously enhances motivation for action. This ... Read more...
