Intramuscular injections of seduxen (10 mg), a benzodiasepin drug, with expressed tranquilizing and alarm suppressing effects, were used with the aim of experimental testing of a hypothesis on the neural mechanism of conditioned changes of the P300 wave. Under the action of seduxen no temporary connections could be formed between a perceived nonverbal visual stimulus and a unrecognized emotional word. The seduxen did not suppress the conditioned cortical reaction acquired due to combination of nonverbal stimulus with unrecognized emotional word. The suggestion is made that the necessary condition of temporary connection elaboration by means of a unrecognized verbal stimulus is the implication of the limbic structures where negative emotional reactions are integrated.

Morphine dependence or addiction is a serious global public health and social problem, and traditional treatments are very limited. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a new potential treatment for drug addiction. Repeated use of morphine leads to neuroadaptive and molecular changes in the addiction-related brain regions.

Background: Accurate diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in surviving patients is indispensable for making treatment decisions and conducting clinical trials. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value and clinical utility of the simplified Edinburgh computed tomography (CT) criteria for CAA-related hemorrhage in Chinese patients.

Methods: We analyzed 212 patients with lobar hemorrhage who underwent brain CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from a multicentre cohort.

Social isolation is a risk factor for cognitive impairment. Adolescents may be particularly vulnerable to these effects, because they are in a critical period of development marked by significant physical, hormonal, and social changes. However, it is unclear if the effects of social isolation on learning and memory are similar in both sexes or if they persist into adulthood after a period of recovery.

Chronic stress typically leads to deficits in fear extinction. However, when a delay occurs from the end of chronic stress and the start of fear conditioning (a "recovery"), rats show improved context-cue discrimination, compared to recently stressed rats or nonstressed rats. The infralimbic cortex (IL) is important for fear extinction and undergoes neuronal remodeling after chronic stress ends, which could drive improved context-cue discrimination.

Objectives: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced protein homeostasis perturbation is a core pathological element in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to clarify the unique role played by C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) as a biomarker of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the etiology of chronic pain and related cognitive impairments following chronic constrictive nerve injury (CCI).

Methods: The memory capability following CCI was assessed utilizing the Morris water maze (MWM) and fear conditioning test (FCT).
