Cox’s Chair Revisited: Can Spinning Alter Mood States?

Cox’s Chair Revisited: Can Spinning Alter Mood States?

Although there is clinical and historical evidence for a vivid relation between the vestibular and emotional systems, the neuroscientific underpinnings are poorly understood. The "spin doctors" of the nineteenth century used spinning chairs (e.g., Cox's chair) to treat conditions of mania or elevated arousal. On the basis of a recent study on a hexapod motion-simulator, in this prototypic inves...

The Spinning Membrane and Skyrmions Revisited

A review of the local world volume Q-supersymmetric Weyl invariant Lagrangian for the membrane constructed by the author some time ago is presented. An analysis is provided which clarifies the problems raised by some authors in the past concerning the algebraic elimination of the auxiliary field belonging to the Weyl compensator supermultiplet. The starting bosonic action is the one given by Do...

Vitamin C Can Alter Lead-Induced Passive Avoidance Learning Impairment in Rats

Introduction: Lead (Pb) is a neurotoxin that its different effects on the central nervous system are well-known. Previous studies have reported the potent effects of vitamin C on memory.The present study was undertaken to evaluate the protective effects of vitamin C against leadinduced amnesia. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: the control (saline), negative contr...
