Motor circuit abnormalities in first-episode schizophrenia assessed with transcranial magnetic stimulation.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: Abnormalities in corticosubcortical circuits in schizophrenia have been described by previous neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies. Previous studies assessing excitability of the motoneural system by measuring cortical silent ... Read more...

Shengmai-san-mediated enhancement of regenerative responses of spinal cord axons after injury in rats.

30 Jul 2009 Shengmai-san (SMS) is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat diverse symptoms including cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Here we investigated the effects of SMS on regenerative responses of spinal cord axons in rats that were given ... Read more...

Plasticity of L-type Ca2+ channels after cocaine withdrawal.

30 Jul 2009 Increased reactivity of certain frontal cortical brain regions to cocaine re-exposure or drug-associated cues in cocaine-abstinent human addicts is linked to drug craving. Similarly, in rats tested after withdrawal from repeated cocaine exposure, ... Read more...
