Rapid extinction of cocaine craving: toward a novel cue exposure therapy
Cocaine does not only evoke intense rewarding sensations but also induces craving for more cocaine. This latter effect is especially obvious in addicted individuals and is thought to contribute tog…

Seasonal patterns of presentation in primary malignant brain tumors and metastases based on a retrospective neuropathologic database
Seasonal variation in the occurrence of several classes of cancer has been observed in the past. However, evidence for such trends in adult central nervous system tumors is scant. We have analyzed …

Glutathione (GSH) conjugates with dopamine (DA)-derived quinones to form reactive or non-reactive GSH-conjugates
In this study we demonstrate for the first time that GSH could rapidly conjugate with dopamine (DA)-derived DA-o-quinones without enzymatic catalysis to form short-lived intermediate GSH-conjugates…

Orienting Attention Based on Long-Term Memory Improves Perceptual Discriminations
The role of attentional orienting in daily life is to selectively deploy both behavioural and neural resources towards events, based on continually changing task goals and expectations, in order to…

The Effect of Retro-Cueing on an ERP Marker of VSTM Maintenance
Previous research has found that Contralateral Delay Activity (CDA) is correlated with the number of items maintained in Visual Short Term Memory from one visual field (VF) (Vogel & Machizawa, 2004…

Neurogenesis and astrogenesis contribute to vestibular compensation in the neurectomized adult cat: cellular and behavioral evidence
Neurogenesis occurs in some regions of the adult mammalian brain and gives rise to neurons integrated into functional networks. In pathological or postlesional conditions, neurogenesis and astrogen…

Neural Modulation by Rhythm Induced Temporal Expectations
Time is an essential dimension of our experience, framing human behaviour at scales ranging from the millisecond organization of motor actions to circadian rhythms cycle, and beyond. Nevertheless,...

The Neural Control Mechanisms Underlying Memory-Guided Attention
The control mechanisms that guide selective attention are typically examined in response to explicit attentional cues. In everyday life, however, the focus of attention is more typically guided acc…

Apotemnophilia – the Neurological Basis of a ‘Psychological’ Disorder
The question of how the human brain combines disparate sensory inputs to construct a unified body image is of longstanding interest1,2,3 . We approached this subject by studying the unusual medic…

Dissociation of Alzheimer’s morphological pathology from cognitive impairment
We observed the Alzheimer’s morphological pathology, amyloid production induces Alzheimer’s cognitive impairment, was dissociated from the cognitive impairment. The earlier Alzheimer’s pathological…
