Analgesia accompanying food consumption requires ingestion of hedonic foods.

12 Oct 2009 Animals eat rather than react to moderate pain. Here, we examined the behavioral, hedonic, and neural requirements for ingestion analgesia in ad libitum fed rats. Noxious heat-evoked withdrawals were similarly suppressed during self-initiated ... Read more...

Effects of Lorazepam and citalopram on human defensive reactions: ethopharmacological differentiation of fear and anxiety.

5 Oct 2009 Drugs that are clinically effective against generalized anxiety disorder preferentially alter rodent risk assessment behavior, whereas drugs that are clinically effective against panic disorder preferentially alter rodent flight behavior. The ... Read more...

Acute neurobehavioral effects of toluene: involvement of dopamine and NMDA receptors.

14 Sep 2009 Toluene, a widely used and commonly abused organic solvent, causes a variety of behavioral disturbances in both humans and animals. In this study, the effects of toluene on locomotor activity, motor coordination, and passive avoidance learning, ... Read more...
