Neurogenesis-dependent and -independent effects of fluoxetine in an animal model of anxiety/depression.

26 May 2009 Understanding the physiopathology of affective disorders and their treatment relies on the availability of experimental models that accurately mimic aspects of the disease. Here we describe a mouse model of an anxiety/depressive-like state induced ... Read more...

Late endocrine sequelae after radiotherapy of pediatric brain tumors are independent of tumor location.

30 Mar 2009 INTRODUCTION: Irradiation of brain tumors (BT) in children can lead to the loss of pituitary function, predominantly manifesting as deficiencies in GH and ACTH. OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence and nature of pituitary deficiency in relation to ... Read more...

Differential numbers of foci of lymphocytes within the brains of Lewis rats exposed to weak complex nocturnal magnetic fields during development of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

30 Dec 2008 To discern if specific structures of the rat brain contained more foci of lymphocytes following induction of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and exposures to weak, amplitude-modulated magnetic fields for 6 min once per hour during the ... Read more...
