P81: Psychosocial Stress of Maternal Deprivation Enhanced Volume of Lateral Ventricle in Rat Brain

Brain areas implicated in the stress response include the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Neonatal stimulation of an animal by handling or by enhanced maternal care induces at adult age a decrease of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal (HPA) response to stressors, a decrease of anxiety in a novel environment, and neuroanatomical changes. In this present study we demonstrated that mat...

Brainstem mediates diazepam enhancement of palatability and feeding: microinjections into fourth ventricle versus lateral ventricle.

The hypothesis that benzodiazepine-induced hyperphagia is due to a specific enhancement of the palatability of foods has been supported by previous 'taste reactivity' studies of affective (hedonic and aversive) reactions to taste palatability. Diazepam and chlordiazepoxide enhance hedonic reactions of rats (rhythmic tongue protrusions, etc.) to sweet tastes in a receptor-specific fashion. A rol...

Glucosteroid treatment of keratin meningitis following removal of a fourth ventricle epidermoid tumour.

It was Cruveilhier in 1829 who gave the picturesque description of intracranial keratinous tumours, 'tumeurs perlees'. Bailey described the first successful removal of an intracranial pearly tumour in 1920. In the second case reported in that paper and in two subsequent cases reported by Bailey in 1924 in which only a subtotal removal of this lesion could be safely effected, the postoperative c...

Epidermoid tumour (tumor perlée, cholesteatoma) of the fourth ventricle: case report and review of literature.

The history, clinical course, and the 17 year follow-up after surgery are reported in a patient who had an epidermoid tumour removed from the fourth ventricle. The gross appearance of the contents of the tumour showed multiple tissue aggregates, with the classical pearl-like appearance. Previous cases reported in the literature are collated.
