Dept of Psychiatry and Forensic Medicine, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Bellaterra, Spain
Behav Genet 32:127-34. 2002..Performance during training also indicated that RHA/Verh rats showed less differentiated behavior between odd and even trials, indicating a relative working memory deficit at advanced ages in that rat line...

Medical Psychology Unit, Department of Psychiatry and Forensic Medicine, Neuroscience Institute, Autonomous University of Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain
Eur J Neurosci 16:547-50. 2002..These results confirm the involvement of adenosine in motor activity, exploratory behaviour, anxiety and aggressiveness. A1Rs also appear to play a critical role in ageing-related deterioration...
