This study sought to determine if self-reported hypnotic depth (srHD) could be predicted from the variables of the Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory - Hypnotic Assessment Procedure (PCI-HAP) (Pekala, 1995a, 1995b; Pekala & Kumar, 2007; Pekala et al., 2010), assessing several of the processes theorized by researchers to be associated with hypnotism: trance (altered state effects), suggest...

The present study deals with the investigation of the neurobehavioral effects of the methanolic extract of Phoenix dactylifera (PD) fruits, studied on locomotor activity, exploratory behavior, motor coordination, hot-plate test, haloperidol-induced catalepsy, sodium nitrite–induced respiratory arrest, maximum electroshock–induced convulsions using mice. The results revealed that the extract in ...

Aloe vera ( Family: Liliaceae) has been used for the treatment of diabetes, skin disorders and as anti-inflammatory agent. To evaluate the anti-parkinson effect, Rota rod and catalepsy bar models were used. Assessment of oxidative stress was done in the striatal region of the brain by malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) measurement. A.vera (200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o.) was found to ...

      Murraya koenigii L. (Rutaceae), commonly known as curry leaf tree, closely associated with south India where the word “curry” originates from the Tamil “kari” for spiced sauces. Curry leaves are a rich source of carbazole alkaloids which possess various biological activities such as antitumor, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

1. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with a standard low dose of opiate (10 mg/kg of morphine sulfate). 2. Experimental subjects received one of two stressful procedures (tail pinch, floor cooling) while control subjects were not disturbed. 3. Using motor activity as an index of catalepsy, both stressful procedures prolonged the syndrome. 4. Stress may therefore affect this opiate me...

Background. Various parts of Glyphaea brevis (Spreng) Monachino (Tiliaceae) find a use in traditional medicine in the treatment of pain and oedema among others. This study evaluates the anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and antiarthritic effects of a 70% (v/v) aqueous ethanol extract of the stem bark of Glyphaea brevis in murine models. Materials and Methods. The effect of the aqueous ethanol ex...
