Confirmation among college women: the eating disorders not otherwise specified diagnostic profile.

Unlabelled: Previously, the researchers proposed and tested a diagnostic framework for women with eating-related concerns who seek college health and mental health treatment. The framework emphasized moderate problems characterized by frequent binging, occasional purging, and frequent exercise; rumination; body image and self-esteem concerns; ambivalence about help seeking; and developmental themes. Several questions remained about the framework's generalizability beyond women in treatment.

Amygdala norepinephrine levels after training predict inhibitory avoidance retention performance in rats.

Previous findings indicate that footshock and several drugs that modulate memory consolidation alter norepinephrine (noradrenaline) release in the amygdala, as assessed by in vivo microdialysis and high-performance liquid chromatography. Such findings suggest that norepinephrine release in the amygdala may be critical for regulating memory consolidation. The present study was the first to examine the relationship between norepinephrine release in the amygdala assessed after inhibitory avoidance training and 24-h retention performance within individual animals.
