Novel environment and GABA agonists alter event-related potentials in N-methyl-D-aspartate NR1 hypomorphic and wild-type mice.

12 Jul 2009 Clinical and experimental data suggest dysregulation of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-mediated glutamatergic pathways in schizophrenia. The interaction between NMDAR-mediated abnormalities and the response to novel environment has not been ... Read more...

Erythropoietin improves operant conditioning and stability of cognitive performance in mice.

6 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Executive functions, learning and attention are imperative facets of cognitive performance, affected in many neuropsychiatric disorders. Recently, we have shown that recombinant human erythropoietin improves cognitive functions in ... Read more...

Persistent deficits in heart rate response habituation following neonatal binge ethanol exposure.

8 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that the rate of habituation of the heart rate orienting response to a novel odor in rats is negatively affected by neonatal ethanol exposure. Thus far, however, only young rats (16 days of age) have been tested. ... Read more...
