Chondroitinase ABC treatment opens a window of opportunity for task-specific rehabilitation.

7 Aug 2009 Chondroitinase ABC treatment promotes spinal cord plasticity. We investigated whether chondroitinase-induced plasticity combined with physical rehabilitation promotes recovery of manual dexterity in rats with cervical spinal cord injuries. Rats ... Read more...

The effect of a carbohydrate-caffeine sports drink on simulated golf performance.

30 Jul 2009 A round of golf lasts approximately 4 h, during which time homeostasis could be challenged through either hypoglycemia or hypohydration. This might result in impaired motor skill or cognitive performance. Given the high cognitive demand of putting ... Read more...

Continuous administration of rotigotine to MPTP-treated common marmosets enhances anti-parkinsonian activity and reduces dyskinesia induction.

16 Jul 2009 Rotigotine is a novel, non-ergoline dopamine D(3)/D(2)/D(1)-receptor agonist for the treatment of Parkinson's disease that can be continuously delivered by the transdermal route to provide stable plasma levels. Continuous drug delivery should reduce ... Read more...
