Differential effects of lorazepam on sleep and activity in C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ strain mice.

30 Aug 2009 Compared to C57BL/6 mice, BALB/c mice exhibit greater 'anxiousness' on behavioural tests of anxiety, and can show significantly longer sleep disruptions after exposure to anxiogenic situations. Relative to C57BL/6 mice, BALB/c mice also have reduced ... Read more...

Caffeine expectancy: instrument development in the Rasch measurement framework.

30 Aug 2009 Although caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive drug in the world, the mechanisms associated with consumption are not well understood. Nonetheless, outcome expectancies for caffeine use are thought to underlie caffeine's reinforcing ... Read more...

Evidence for a putative biomarker for substance dependence.

30 Aug 2009 Electrodermal response modulation (ERM) reflects the reduction in skin conductance response to an aversive stimulus that is temporally predictable relative to when it is unpredictable. Poor ERM is associated with substance dependence (SD). It was ... Read more...
