A piglet model for detection of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury with magnetic resonance imaging.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Early detection of hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury in the asphyxic newborn is important because present prognostic factors are inadequate. Furthermore, therapeutic interventions may have additional benefit if initiated in time. PURPOSE: To ... Read more...


Relation between obesity and blunted striatal response to food is moderated by TaqIA A1 allele.

15 Oct 2008 The dorsal striatum plays a role in consummatory food reward, and striatal dopamine receptors are reduced in obese individuals, relative to lean individuals, which suggests that the striatum and dopaminergic signaling in the striatum may contribute ... Read more...


Review. Neural mechanisms underlying the vulnerability to develop compulsive drug-seeking habits and addiction.

10 Oct 2008 We hypothesize that drug addiction can be viewed as the endpoint of a series of transitions from initial voluntary drug use through the loss of control over this behaviour, such that it becomes habitual and ultimately compulsive. We describe ... Read more...
