1 Extracellular ATP can activate a cation-selective channel/pore on human B-lymphocytes, known as the P2X7 receptor. Activation of this receptor is linked to PLD stimulation. We have used ATP-induced 86Rb+ (K+) efflux to examine the effect of benzophenanthridine alkaloids on P2X7 channel/pore function in human B-lymphocytes.

Objective: The objective of this study is to explore the significance of the experience of liveliness in psychotherapeutic interactions and its relevance to the practice of psychotherapy.
Method: Stern's notion of 'vitality affects' and Emde's concept of a 'primary affective core' are employed in developing a concept of liveliness, or an enlivening-deadening axis of experience. A critique of Freud's 'principles of mental functioning' is made in the light of this concept.
