    Stress 12:125-33. 2009
    ..The time-course of the enhancement was examined in the next two experiments. These experiments show that SEFL persists for at least 3 months...

    Anesthesiology 110:487-95. 2009
    ..Subsequent exposure to a single foot shock produces an enhanced fear response. This effect is akin to sensitized reactions shown by some post-traumatic stress disorder patients to cues previously associated with the traumatic event...
  3. ncbi Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor alpha 4 subunit knockout mice are resistant to the amnestic effect of isoflurane
    Vinuta Rau

    Anesth Analg 109:1816-22. 2009
    ..GABA(A)-Rs containing the alpha4 subunit are highly concentrated in the hippocampus and thalamus, and when combined with delta subunits they mediate tonic inhibition, which is sensitive to low concentrations of isoflurane...
  4. ncbi Isoflurane differentially affects neurogenesis and long-term neurocognitive function in 60-day-old and 7-day-old rats
    Greg Stratmann
    Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care, University of California, San Francisco 94143, USA
    Anesthesiology 110:834-48. 2009
    ..Postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis affects hippocampal function into adulthood; therefore, the authors tested the hypothesis that isoflurane affects long-term neurocognitive function via an effect on dentate gyrus neurogenesis...
