Stimulant treatment reduces lapses in attention among children with ADHD: the effects of methylphenidate on intra-individual response time distributions.

30 Jul 2009 Recent research has suggested that intra-individual variability in reaction time (RT) distributions of children with ADHD is characterized by a particularly large rightward skew that may reflect lapses in attention. The purpose of the study was to ... Read more...

Involvement of NOX2 in the development of behavioral and pathologic alterations in isolated rats.

24 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Social stress leads to oxidative stress in the central nervous system, contributing to the development of mental disorders. Loss of parvalbumin in interneurons is an important feature of these diseases. We studied the role of the ... Read more...

Emotional processing in women with anorexia nervosa and in healthy volunteers.

9 Jun 2009 Emotional processing was investigated in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and in healthy volunteers (HVs) using self report questionnaires and information processing tasks. Compared to the HVs, patients with AN had lower levels of self reported ... Read more...
