We compared oral modafinil (400 mgx1) versus placebo in 12 healthy hospitalized normal subjects in a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study for 3 days each with ...

Effects of long-period musical training from childhood on the brain have been studied psychologically [1], anatomically [2], and functionally [36]. Absolute pitch, which is the ability to identify the note of a tone without any reference, is one of the most outstanding results of musical training.

Due to the impossibility of experimentally controlling spontaneous dream activity, however, a direct demonstration of dream contents by neuroimaging methods is lacking. By combinin...
متن کاملMuscarinic receptor activation elicits sustained, recurring depolarizations in reticulospinal neurons.
In lampreys, brain stem reticulospinal (RS) neurons constitute the main descending input to the spinal cord and activate the spinal locomotor central pattern generators. Cholinergic nicotinic inputs activate RS neurons, and consequently, induce locomotion. Cholinergic muscarinic agonists also induce locomotion when applied to the brain stem of birds. This study examined whether bath application...
