Pinacidil induces vascular dilation and hyperemia in vivo and does not impact biophysical properties of neurons and astrocytes in vitro.

30 Mar 2009 Vascular and neural systems are highly interdependent, as evidenced by the wealth of intrinsic modulators shared by the two systems. We tested the hypothesis that pinacidil, a selective agonist for the SUR2B receptor found on smooth muscles, could ... Read more...

The salient characteristics of the central effects of acupuncture needling: limbic-paralimbic-neocortical network modulation.

30 Mar 2009 Human and animal studies suggest that acupuncture produces many beneficial effects through the central nervous system. However, the neural substrates of acupuncture actions are not completely clear to date. fMRI studies at Hegu (LI4) and Zusanli ... Read more...

Learning and consolidation of novel spoken words.

30 Mar 2009 Two experiments explored the neural mechanisms underlying the learning and consolidation of novel spoken words. In Experiment 1, participants learned two sets of novel words on successive days. A subsequent recognition test revealed high levels of ... Read more...
