On-pump versus off-pump coronary-artery bypass surgery.

3 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has traditionally been performed with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump CABG). CABG without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) might reduce the number of complications related to the ... Read more...

Alteration of theta timescale dynamics of hippocampal place cells by a cannabinoid is associated with memory impairment.

5 Oct 2009 The integrity of the hippocampus is critical for both spatial navigation and episodic memory, but how its neuronal firing patterns underlie those functions is not well understood. In particular, the modality by which hippocampal place cells ... Read more...

A review of the verbal and visual memory impairments in children with foetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Children with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) have significant impairments in memory, negatively affecting academics and daily functioning. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To review published research on: (1) verbal and visual-spatial memory ... Read more...
