Mid-fusiform activation during object discrimination reflects the process of differentiating structural descriptions.

30 Aug 2008 The present study explored constraints on mid-fusiform activation during object discrimination. In three experiments, participants performed a matching task on simple line configurations, nameable objects, three dimensional (3-D) shapes, and ... Read more...

Zolpidem generalization and antagonism in male and female cynomolgus monkeys trained to discriminate 1.0 or 2.0 g/kg ethanol.

29 Jun 2008 BACKGROUND: The subtypes of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)(A) receptors mediating the discriminative stimulus effects of ethanol in nonhuman primates are not completely identified. The GABA(A) receptor positive modulator zolpidem has high, ... Read more...

The specificity of priming effects over the first year of life.

29 Jun 2008 Despite its significance for the enduring effect of early experience, the specificity of priming on infants' forgotten memories is unknown. This study determined the impact of cue and context changes on the initial priming and retrieval of the ... Read more...
