Neuroendocrine and immune influences on the CNS: it's a matter of sex.

13 Oct 2009 Most neuropsychiatric diseases have a sex bias in their presentation, age of onset, or treatment response. Yet surprisingly, we have considered very little the contribution of the sexually dimorphic brain when thinking about disease etiology and the ... Read more...

MDMA pretreatment leads to mild chronic unpredictable stress-induced impairments in spatial learning.

29 Sep 2009 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a drug of abuse worldwide and a selective serotonin (5-HT) neurotoxin. An important factor in the risk of drug abuse and relapse is stress. Although multiple parallels exist between MDMA abuse and stress, ... Read more...

Relative adrenal insufficiency.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article will review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of acute adrenal insufficiency and explore the concept of 'relative adrenal insufficiency' in the critically ill. RECENT FINDINGS: Current dogma suggests ... Read more...
