Relationships among variables and their equilibrium values: caveats of time-less interpretationSkirmantas Janusonis
Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106 9660, USA
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc 87:275-89. 2012..In conclusion, the potential importance of measure theory in biological sciences in considered...
Comparing two small samples with an unstable, treatment-independent baselineSkirmantas Janusonis
Department of Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106 9660, USA
J Neurosci Methods 179:173-8. 2009..The Wilcoxon rank-sum test (or, equivalently, the Mann-Whitney test) has precisely zero power if one group has 3 cases and the other has 3 or 4 cases. Some other problems of small-sample analysis are considered...
Ontogeny of brain and blood serotonin levels in 5-HT receptor knockout mice: potential relevance to the neurobiology of autismSkirmantas Janusonis
Department of Neurobiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA
J Neurochem 99:1019-31. 2006..The results are discussed in relation to the possible role of 5-HT in the ontogeny of autism...
Origin of the blood hyperserotonemia of autismSkirmantas Janusonis
Department of Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106 9660, USA
Theor Biol Med Model 5:10. 2008..Its replicability suggests that many of the genes involved in autism affect a small number of biological networks. These networks may also play a role in the early development of the autistic brain...
Relationships among body mass, brain size, gut length, and blood tryptophan and serotonin in young wild-type miceRicardo Albay
Department of Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California, USA
BMC Physiol 9:4. 2009....
Transient expression of serotonin 5-HT4 receptors in the mouse developing thalamocortical projectionsErin R Slaten
Department of Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106 9660
Dev Neurobiol 70:165-81. 2010..These results suggest that during development 5-HT(4)-R expression undergoes a dynamic regulation and that this regulation may be important for the normal development of sensory and limbic processing...
Statistical distribution of blood serotonin as a predictor of early autistic brain abnormalitiesSkirmantas Janusonis
Department of Neurobiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520 8001, USA
Theor Biol Med Model 2:27. 2005..The statistical distributions of the platelet 5-HT levels in normal and autistic groups have characteristic features and may contain information about the nature of this yet unidentified factor...
Serotonergic paradoxes of autism replicated in a simple mathematical modelSkirmantas Janusonis
Department of Neurobiology, Yale University School of Medicine, P O Box 208001, New Haven, CT 06520 8001, USA
Med Hypotheses 64:742-50. 2005..While the failure of such a mechanism may lead to consistent abnormalities of synaptic transmission with no alteration of brain 5-HT levels, its effects on blood 5-HT levels may appear paradoxical...
Quantitative mRNA analysis of serotonin 5-HT? and adrenergic ?? receptors in the mouse embryonic telencephalonMelissa C Hernandez
Department of Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106 9660, USA
Dev Neurosci 32:278-87. 2010..These findings suggest that 5-HT?-R splice variants and ??-ARs are differentially regulated in the embryonic telencephalon and that their relative amounts may carry developmentally important information...
