Sudden death in cocaine abusers.
Cocaine is the second most widely trafficked drug in the world, trailing only cannabis in this regard. Over the past decade, its recreational use has increased in most European countries (Figure 1). At present, it is estimated that 1.2% of Europeans used cocaine in the last year, with the prevalence varying from 0.7% in Romania and Lithuania to 12.7% in the UK. However, due to the absence of st...
متن کاملNormal Aging does Not Impair Orbitofrontal-Dependent Reinforcer Devaluation Effects
Normal aging is associated with deficits in cognitive flexibility thought to depend on prefrontal regions such as the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Here, we used Pavlovian reinforcer devaluation to test whether normal aging might also affect the ability to use outcome expectancies to guide appropriate behavioral responding, which is also known to depend on the OFC. Both young and aged rats were t...
متن کاملNeuropsychological deficits in chronic cocaine abusers.
A basic neuropsychological assessment battery was given to thirty-seven chronic freebase cocaine ("crack") abusers. The following tests were used: Wechsler Memory Scale (Wechsler, 1945), Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (Osterrieth, 1944) (copy and immediate reproduction), Verbal Fluency (semantic and phonologic), Boston Naming Test (Goodglass, Kaplan, & Weintrab, 1983), Wisconsin Card Sorting Tes...
متن کاملPrefrontal cortical dysfunction in abstinent cocaine abusers.
The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and lateral prefrontal (LPFC) cortex are brain regions important to executive cognitive functions (ECF). We determined ACC and LPFC function in 23-day abstinent cocaine abusers using positron emission tomography (PET H(2)(15)O) during performance of a modified version of the Stroop Task. Cocaine abusers showed less activation than non-drug-using comparison su...
متن کاملA brief opportunity to run does not function as a reinforcer for mice selected for high daily wheel-running rates.
Mice from replicate lines, selectively bred based on high daily wheel-running rates, run more total revolutions and at higher average speeds than do mice from nonselected control lines. Based on this difference it was assumed that selected mice would find the opportunity to run in a wheel a more efficacious consequence. To assess this assumption within an operant paradigm, mice must be trained ...
