The benefits offered by the Grid architecture has resulted in the tremendous growth of the Grid-user community. The Globus Toolkit has emerged as the most popular Grid implementation used by the Grid community. The Java CoG Kit provides a rich suite of artifacts and client-side constructs for Globus Toolkit 2 and 3 to access the backend Globus enabled Grid functionality. This paper is motivated...

Histological, behavioral and electrophysiological studies have suggested that 5-HT may regulate motor function by affecting globus pallidus neurons activity. In this study, the effects of 5-HT in globus pallidus on haloperidol-induced catalepsy and its possible receptor mechanisms were examined in rats using bar tests. Bilateral microinjection of 5-HT (10microM) into globus pallidus significant...
