Coregulation of genes in the mouse brain following treatment with clozapine, haloperidol, or olanzapine implicates altered potassium channel subunit expression in the mechanism of antipsychotic drug action.

29 Sep 2008 BACKGROUND: Antipsychotic drugs are the most effective treatment for the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia, yet their mechanism of action remains largely unknown. OBJECTIVES: Earlier studies have shown gene expression changes in rodent brains ... Read more...

The conundrum of transient cortical blindness following coronary angiography.

29 Sep 2008 We report a case of transient cortical blindness that occurred after coronary angiography and angioplasty performed through the right radial artery. This is a very rare entity, the physiopathology of which remains largely speculative. The most ... Read more...

Effects of second-generation antipsychotic medication on smooth pursuit performance in antipsychotic-naive schizophrenia.

29 Sep 2008 CONTEXT: Analyses of smooth pursuit eye movement parameters in patients with schizophrenia provide information about the integrity of neural networks mediating motion perception, sensorimotor transformation, and cognitive processes such as ... Read more...
