An original neuropsychophysiological battery of tests was used to study the possibility of neuropharmacological correction of compensatory-restorative processes in cats after extirpation of a defined zone of the temporal cortex; studies were carried out in conditions of free behavior. In a variety of activation and inhibition regimes, systemic administration of cholinergic, dopaminergic, GABAergic, and serotoninergic agents could have favorable effects on restorative mechanisms, depending on cortical psycho-organic symptoms. Each cognitive activity studied (perception, gnosis, thought) had its own specific positive neuromediator "profile" in terms of compensatory outcomes.

Viruses have been classified as non-living because they require a cellular host to support their replicative processes. Empirical investigations have significantly advanced our understanding of the many strategies employed by viruses to usurp and divert host regulatory and metabolic processes to drive the synthesis and release of infectious particles. The recent emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has permitted us to evaluate and discuss a potentially novel classification of viruses as living entities.

In the current study, we investigated the phytochemical and neuropharmacological potential of , an indigenous least characterized plant widely distributed in deserted areas of Pakistan. The crude extract of the whole plant (IS.CR) was preliminary tested for the existence of polyphenol content, antioxidant and anticholinesterase potential followed by detailed chemical characterization through UHPLC-MS.

Background: Impaired probabilistic reasoning and the jumping-to-conclusions reasoning bias are hallmark features of schizophrenia (SCZ), yet the neuropharmacological basis of these deficits remains unclear. Here we tested the hypothesis that glutamatergic neurotransmission specifically contributes to jumping to conclusions and impaired probabilistic reasoning in SCZ.
Methods: A total of 192 healthy participants received either NMDA receptor agonists/antagonists (D-cycloserine/dextromethorphan), dopamine type 2 receptor agonists/antagonists (bromocriptine/haloperidol), or placebo in a randomized, double-blind, between-subjects design.

The in vitro inhibition potency against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of fluorinated derivatives of CP-118,954 (1) has been shown to depend upon the position of aromatic fluorine (F) substitution on the N-benzyl moiety. Indeed, the meta-F-substituted compound 3 (IC=1.4nM) shows similar potency with the parent compound 1 (IC=1.

The identification of the brain regions involved in the neuropharmacological action is a potential procedure for drug development. These regions are commonly determined by the voxels showing significant statistical differences after comparing placebo-induced effects with drug-elicited effects. LORETA is an electroencephalography (EEG) source imaging technique frequently used to identify brain structures affected by the drug.
