Revisiting play elements and self-handicapping in play: a comparative ethogram of five Old World monkey species.

30 Jul 2009 Play behavior has been viewed as a mixture of elements drawn from "serious" behavior, interspersed by ritualized play signals. Two other types of play behaviors have been overlooked: patterns that are dissimilar from any serious behavior and ...

Development of visuospatial ability and kanji copying in Williams Syndrome.

30 Jul 2009 Williams syndrome is known for uneven cognitive abilities. Visuospatial difficulties such as a failure in constructing objects are considered to be characteristic and may influence the copying of Japanese semantic characters, kanji. In contrast to ...

Continuous administration of rotigotine to MPTP-treated common marmosets enhances anti-parkinsonian activity and reduces dyskinesia induction.

16 Jul 2009 Rotigotine is a novel, non-ergoline dopamine D(3)/D(2)/D(1)-receptor agonist for the treatment of Parkinson's disease that can be continuously delivered by the transdermal route to provide stable plasma levels. Continuous drug delivery should reduce ...
