Another feature that may have influenced the result is that the rat's first response in the session was usually reinforced. Contrast effect may have contributed to the widespread impression that BSR results in rapid extinction. A...
متن کاملComputed tomography scans of alcoholics: cerebral atrophy?
for the smaller sulci noted upon further abstinence among these alcoholics, the error in measuring the sulci would seem to be a much more likely explanation. Further, Carlen and colleagues speculate that axonal sprouting and regrowth of supporting glia and vasculature may be responsible for improved neuropsychological functioning observed in alcoholics who remain abstinent. However, synaptogene...
متن کاملMinimising medically unwarranted computed tomography scans.
As computed tomography (CT) is such a superb diagnostic tool and individual CT risks are small, whenever a CT scan is clinically warranted, the CT benefit/risk balance is by far in the patient's favour. However, if a CT scan is not clinically warranted, this balance shifts dramatically. It is likely that at least 25% of CT scans fall into this latter category, in that they could either be repla...
