Positron emission tomography measures of endogenous opioid neurotransmission and impulsiveness traits in humans.

29 Sep 2009 CONTEXT: The endogenous opioid system and opioid mu receptors (mu-receptors) are known to interface environmental events, positive (eg, relevant emotional stimuli) and negative (eg, stressors), with pertinent behavioral responses and to regulate ... Read more...

The role of background statistics in face adaptation.

28 Sep 2009 Cross-adaptation is widely used to probe whether different stimuli share common neural mechanisms. For example, that adaptation to second-order stimuli usually produces little aftereffect on first-order stimuli has been interpreted as reflecting ... Read more...

Increased personal space of patients with schizophrenia in a virtual social environment.

15 Sep 2009 Virtual reality may be a good alternative method for measuring personal space and overcoming some limitations in previous studies on the social aspects of schizophrenia. Using this technology, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of personal ... Read more...
