Laminack, Lyndon; Langee, Harvey R. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1990
This reaction paper reviews a report on the use of carbamazapine for behavioral disorders. The paper translates the original report's data into percentages and concludes that carbamazapine has a more limited role in behavior disorder treatment. The original report's author then clarifies various points criticized in the reaction paper. (JDD)

Direct linkSimon, Barbara B.; Knuckley, Bryan; Powell, Donald A. – Learning & Memory, 2004
Previous work has demonstrated that drugs increasing brain concentrations of acetylcholine can enhance cognition in aging and brain-damaged organisms. The present study assessed whether galantamine (GAL), an allosteric modulator of nicotinic cholinergic receptors and weak acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, could improve acquisition and retention of…

Blouin, Ashley M.; Cain, Chris K.; Barad, Mike – Learning & Memory, 2004
Having recently shown that extinction of conditioned fear depends on L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (LVGCCs), we have been seeking other protocols that require this unusual induction mechanism. We tested latent inhibition (LI) of fear, because LI resembles extinction except that cue exposures precede, rather than follow, cue-shock pairing.…

Davis, Alison – National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), 2006
This publication discusses the many different ways medicines work in the body and how this information guides the hunt for drugs of the future. The science of pharmacology--understanding the basics of how our bodies react to medicines and how medicines affect our bodies--is already a vital part of 21st-century research. Pharmacology is a broad…

Khanzode, Leena A.; Saxena, Kirti; Kraemer, Helena; Chang, Kiki; Steiner, Hans – Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 2006
Little is known about how deeply medication treatment penetrates different levels of the mind/brain system. Psychopathology consists of relatively simple constructs (e.g., anger, irritability), or complex ones (e.g., responsibility). This study examines the efficacy of a specific compound, divalproex sodium (DVPX), on the various levels of…

Objective: It has been reported that bipolar disorder may become less responsive to previously effective treatment with each symptomatic relapse. The primary goal of this study was to assess the rate of restabilization after the resumption of lithium ([Li[superscript +]) plus divalproex (DVPX) following relapse on either agent as monotherapy.…

Objective: To explore time to first response and time to first persistent response of sertraline versus placebo and compare these parameters between children (6-11 years old, n = 177) and adolescents (12-17 years old, n = 199) with major depressive disorder. Method: A 10-week placebo-controlled treatment was followed by a 24-week open-label…

The media role model was recently developed to frame how science faculty members can teach their students to write more effectively to lay audiences (14). An Opinion Editorial (Op-Ed) was introduced as a novel assignment for final-year physiology and pharmacology undergraduates. This second phase of this study, reported here, demonstrated the…
