Analgesia accompanying food consumption requires ingestion of hedonic foods.

12 Oct 2009 Animals eat rather than react to moderate pain. Here, we examined the behavioral, hedonic, and neural requirements for ingestion analgesia in ad libitum fed rats. Noxious heat-evoked withdrawals were similarly suppressed during self-initiated ... Read more...

Differential effects of lorazepam on sleep and activity in C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ strain mice.

30 Aug 2009 Compared to C57BL/6 mice, BALB/c mice exhibit greater 'anxiousness' on behavioural tests of anxiety, and can show significantly longer sleep disruptions after exposure to anxiogenic situations. Relative to C57BL/6 mice, BALB/c mice also have reduced ... Read more...

Congenital abnormalities of 88 children born to mothers who attempted suicide with phenobarbital during pregnany: the use of a disaster epidemiological model for the evaluation of drug teratogenicity.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of large doses of phenobarbital used for a suicide attempt during pregnancy for fetuses to estimate the teratogenic potential of phenobarbital. DESIGN AND SETTING: Comparative analysis of exposed children and their ... Read more...
