Feeding behaviour is crucial for the survival of an organism and is regulated by different brain circuits. Among these circuits the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system is implicated in the anticipation and motivation for food rewards. This system consists of the dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and their projections to different cortico-limbic structures such as the nucleus...

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a paradigmatic single gene disorder caused by homozygosity with respect to a unique mutation at the b-globin locus. SCA is phenotypically complex, with different clinical courses ranging from early childhood mortality to a virtually unrecognized condition.

P 435 Pattern VEP registrations with the Tomey PE/PS-400 — Clinical protocoll and normal values

Purpose:The m-sequence stimulation technique @utter & Tram, Vis Res 32: 433446, 1992) allows functional mapping of the retina by ERG recordings. We examined the variation in the b-wave amplitude derlsities with eccentricity in 15 controls. Methods:The stimulus is presented on a monitor (75 Hz), 32 cm distance from the subjects eye. It contains 61 hexagons in a 25 degree visual field. Each eleme...
