Rapid approach responses to alcohol cues in heavy drinkers.

Sep 2008 Incentive-motivational models of addiction predict that alcohol cues should elicit approach behaviours in heavy drinkers. In this study we compared heavy and light social drinkers' response latencies when required to... Read more...

Abnormal plasticity of sensorimotor circuits extends beyond the affected body part in focal dystonia.

Sep 2008 OBJECTIVE: To test whether abnormal sensorimotor plasticity in focal hand dystonia is a primary abnormality or is merely a consequence of the dystonic posture. METHODS: This study used the paired associative stimulation... Read more...

Changes in N1 and P3 components of the auditory event-related potentials in extroverts and introverts depending on the type of the task.

16 Aug 2008 AIM: The aim of the study was to examine the interconnection between N1 and P3 components of event-related potentials (ERP) and the personality type extraversion/introversion in two tasks with different conditions:... Read more...
