Equal contribution of increased intracranial pressure and subarachnoid blood to cerebral blood flow reduction and receptor upregulation after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebral ischemia remains the key cause of disability and death in the late phase after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and its pathogenesis is still poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the change in ... Read more...

Selective serotonin receptor stimulation of the medial nucleus accumbens causes differential effects on food intake and locomotion.

29 Sep 2009 Substantial evidence suggests that pharmacological manipulations of neural serotonin pathways influence ingestive behaviors. Despite the known role of the nucleus accumbens in directing appetitive and consummatory behavior, there has been little ... Read more...

Serotonin 1B receptor stimulation reduces D1 receptor agonist-induced dyskinesia.

21 Sep 2009 Dopamine replacement therapy for the treatment of Parkinson's disease leads to deleterious abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs), known as L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia, which parallels enhanced striatal dopamine D1 ... Read more...
