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...

Lack of biological effects of water accommodated fractions of chemically- and physically-dispersed oil on molecular, physiological, and behavioral traits of juvenile snapping turtles following embryonic exposure.

22 Jul 2009 Snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) eggs were exposed to two concentrations of chemically- or physically-dispersed water accommodated fractions of weathered Arabian light crude oil (Low=0.5 and High=10 g oil/L water). Solutions were passed through ... Read more...

Sublethal concentrations of ammonia impair performance of the teleost fast-start escape response.

29 Jun 2009 The fast-start escape response in fish is essential for predator avoidance, but almost nothing is known about whether sublethal concentrations of pollutants can impair this reflex. Ammonia, a pervasive pollutant of aquatic habitats, is known to have ... Read more...
