NFAT1 deficit and NFAT2 deficit attenuate EAE via different mechanisms

Response of different species of Brassica to water deficit

Development of drought-tolerant cultivars is hampered by a lack of effective selectioncriteria. In this research, response of 36 genotypes of rapeseed from seven species of Brassicaincluding B. napus, B. rapa, B. juncea, B. carinata, B. oleracea, B. nigra and B. fruticulosa wasassessed under three moisture levels (no stress, mild stress and intense stress) in the field during2011-2012. Five dro...

Emotional responding in deficit and non-deficit schizophrenia.

Although emotional dysfunction is presumed to be a central part of the deficit syndrome in schizophrenia, it has not yet been empirically investigated in deficit and non-deficit patients. Emotional responding was examined in 19 male deficit patients, 22 non-deficit patients, and 20 non-patient controls. Patients participated in a semi-structured clinical interview that included questions from t...

Stimulant drug action in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): inference of neurophysiological mechanisms via quantitative modelling.

OBJECTIVE To infer the neural mechanisms underlying tonic transitions in the electroencephalogram (EEG) in 11 adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) before and after treatment with stimulant medication. METHODS A biophysical model was used to analyse electroencephalographic (EEG) measures of tonic brain activity at multiple scalp sites before and after trea...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: The Diagnostic Process From Different Perspectives*

CASE By the time she was 9 years old and in the middle of her third-grade year, Julie’s parents realized that she had a problem with learning compared to other children. Her mother said that she was “always flighty”—daydreaming and not consistently connected when talking to her friends or family members.
