Visual impairment in the absence of dystroglycan.

19 Oct 2009 Ocular involvement in muscular dystrophy ranges from structural defects to abnormal electroretinograms. While the mechanisms underlying the abnormal retinal physiology in patients are not understood, it is thought that alpha-dystroglycan ... Read more...

MDMA pretreatment leads to mild chronic unpredictable stress-induced impairments in spatial learning.

29 Sep 2009 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a drug of abuse worldwide and a selective serotonin (5-HT) neurotoxin. An important factor in the risk of drug abuse and relapse is stress. Although multiple parallels exist between MDMA abuse and stress, ... Read more...

Double dissociation and hierarchical organization of strategy switches and reversals in the rat PFC.

29 Sep 2009 Prelimbic-infralimbic cortex (PL-IL) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) influence behavioral flexibility in the rat. The authors tested the effects of PL-IL or OFC infusion with the GABA agonist muscimol in the context of 2 flexible responding tasks: ... Read more...
