Response disengagement on a spatial self-ordered sequencing task: effects of regionally selective excitotoxic lesions and serotonin depletion within the prefrontal cortex.

4 May 2009 Prefrontal cortex (PFC) is critical for self-ordered response sequencing. Patients with frontal lobe damage are impaired on response sequencing tasks, and increased blood flow has been reported in ventrolateral and dorsolateral PFC in subjects ... Read more...

Cognitive performances of cholinergically depleted rats following chronic donepezil administration.

29 Apr 2009 Since acute and chronic administration of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, namely donepezil, improves cognitive functions in patients afflicted by mild to moderate dementia and reverses memory deficits in experimental models of learning and ... Read more...

Corticotropin releasing factor enhances attentional function as assessed by the five-choice serial reaction time task in rats.

22 Nov 2008 Previous studies have shown that psychological stress affects attentional function, and corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) is closely related to stress responses. In the present study, we examined the effect of CRF on attentional function using a ... Read more...
