Origins of altered reinforcement effects in ADHDEspen Borgå Johansen
Centre for Advanced Study CAS at the Norwegian Academy for Science and Letters, Oslo, Norway
Behav Brain Funct 5:7. 2009..Theoretical and experimental analyses of these moderating factors will help to determine just how reinforcement processes are altered in ADHD. Such analyses can only help to improve treatment strategies for ADHD...

The conscious perception of the sensation of fatigueAlan St Clair Gibson
Human Motor Control Unit, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Sports Med 33:167-76. 2003..It is not clear whether the origin of the conscious sensation of fatigue is associated with particular localised brain structures, or is the result of electrophysiological synchronisation of entire brain activity...
Effect of exercise on learning and memory in a rat model of developmental stressLaurian Grace
Department of Human Biology, University of Cape Town, Observatory, 7925, South Africa
Metab Brain Dis 24:643-57. 2009..Results indicate that maternal separation had little effect on the rats whereas exercise enhanced both spatial and recognition memory...

Department of Human Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, Anzio Road, Observatory 7925, Cape Town, South Africa
Metab Brain Dis 23:9-30. 2008..To our knowledge these are the first results to show developmental decreases of NMDA receptor function in the striatum of juvenile rats...
Development of a mild prenatal stress rat model to study long term effects on neural function and survivalMusa V Mabandla
Department of Human Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, Anzio Road, Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa
Metab Brain Dis 23:31-42. 2008..In the open field, our model displayed slightly less locomotor activity and also had a slightly blunted adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) response to restraint stress even though the corticosterone response was similar to controls...
