foeniculum vulgare (fennel) has been widely used in traditional medicine for treatment of variousdiseases including pediatric colic. this study was designed to assess the antinociceptive effects of aqueousextract of f. vulgare on visceral pain and possible involvement of opioidergic, serotonergic, adrenergic andhistaminergic systems. the results of this study showed that aqueous extract of f. v...

introduction: excessive olivo-cerebellar burst-firing occurs during harmaline-induced tremor. we hypothesized that antiglutamatergic agents would suppress harmaline tremor. from this point of view, the aim of current study was to investigate the effects of riluzole on harmaline-induced tremor in rat. material and methods: four groups of wistar rats weighing 80–100 g were injected with harmaline...

A number of studies have highlighted the sophistication of corrective responses in lengthened muscles during the long-latency epoch. However, in various contexts, unloading can occur, which requires corrective actions from a shortened muscle. Here, we investigate the sophistication of inhibitory responses in shortened muscles due to unloading. Our first experiment quantified the inhibitory resp...

This study aimed to characterize the neural generators of the early components of the visual evoked potential (VEP) to isoluminant checkerboard stimuli. Multichannel scalp recordings, retinotopic mapping and dipole modeling techniques were used to estimate the locations of the cortical sources giving rise to the early C1, P1, and N1 components. Dipole locations were matched to anatomical brain ...

BACKGROUND Child and adolescent psychopathology has been linked to increased sleep problems, but there has been less investigation of this relationship in younger samples with early-onset psychopathology. This study examined three specific but commonly observed aspects of sleep behaviors in young children - (i) Sleep onset latency, (ii) Refusal to sleep alone, and (iii) Nighttime awakenings - m...

UNLABELLED The Middle Latency Auditory Evoked Response may be influenced by the post-auricular muscle reflex which occurs at the same latency of this potential. AIM to evaluate the muscle reflex influence on the middle latency response, identifying the most appropriate place for response recording. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective study in which 40 normal hearing individuals, ranging in ag...

according to iran’s folk medicine, camphor, a crystalline ketone obtained from essential oils of cinnamomum camphora, has both sexual behavior attenuating and enhancing properties. this study examined the effects of camphor on sexual behavior in male rats. twenty four sexually mature male sprague-dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups receiving daily i.p. injections of olive oil as veh...

Changes in the timing performance of conditioned responses (CRs) acquired during trace and delay eyeblink conditioning (EBC) are presented for diagnostic subgroups of children having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 6-15 years. Children diagnosed with autistic disorder (AD) were analyzed separately from children diagnosed with either Asperger's syndrome or Pervasive developmental disorder (A...
