Transformation of nonfunctional spinal circuits into functional states after the loss of brain input.

18 Sep 2009 After complete spinal cord transections that removed all supraspinal inputs in adult rats, combinations of serotonergic agonists and epidural electrical stimulation were able to acutely transform spinal networks from nonfunctional to highly ... Read more...

An FMRI study of the effects of psychostimulants on default-mode processing during Stroop task performance in youths with ADHD.

13 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The authors examined the effect of psychostimulants on brain activity in children and adolescents with ADHD performing the Stroop Color and Word Test. METHOD: The authors acquired 52 functional MRI scans in 16 youths with ADHD who were ... Read more...

Dopamine enables in vivo synaptic plasticity associated with the addictive drug nicotine.

8 Sep 2009 Addictive drugs induce a dopamine signal that contributes to the initiation of addiction, and the dopamine signal influences drug-associated memories that perpetuate drug use. The addiction process shares many commonalities with the synaptic ... Read more...
