A reverse-translational study of dysfunctional exploration in psychiatric disorders: from mice to men.

29 Sep 2009 CONTEXT: Bipolar mania and schizophrenia are recognized as separate disorders but share many commonalities, which raises the question of whether they are the same disorder on different ends of a continuum. The lack of distinct endophenotypes of ... Read more...

Lack of habituation in the light adapted flicker electroretinogram of normal subjects: a comparison with pattern electroretinogram.

13 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Sustained pattern stimulation (SPS) induces habituation in the normal pattern electroretinogram (PERG). In this study, the authors evaluated whether sustained flicker stimulation (SFS) induces habituation in the normal flicker ERG (FERG). ... Read more...

Recollection is impaired, but familiarity remains intact in rats with lesions of the fornix.

30 Aug 2009 It has been argued that a neural system including the hippocampus, fornix, mamillary bodies, and anterior thalamus is specifically involved in recollection, but not in familiarity based memory processes. Here we test this hypothesis using a task of ... Read more...
