6. PET studies on the mechanisms of action of antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs
Abstract : Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive molecular imaging technique suitable for examination of neurochemical biomarkers in the living brain. Among these applications, PET studies are used to facilitate the development of novel psychotropic drugs. READ MORE

7. Assessment of dopamine and serotonin release in the non-human primate brain using PET
Abstract : The molecular imaging technique positron emission tomography (PET) allows for non-invasive examination of biochemical markers in the living brain. For over three decades PET studies have provided important insight into the relationship of monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems to brain functioning and psychiatric disorders. READ MORE

8. Neuroprotective Effect of Genistein : Studies in Rat Models of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease
Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are neurodegenerative disorders that mainly affect the elderly population. It is believed that oxidative stress is involved in development of both these diseases and that estrogen deficiency is a risk factor for development of AD. READ MORE

9. On the mechanisms and physiological function of somatodendritic dopamine release in substantia nigra
Abstract : Somatodendritic release of neurotransmitters is a neuronal function that is poorly understood in comparison with the more abundant terminal release. This study aimed at characterising somatodendritic dopamine release in substantia nigra in terms of release mechanisms and possible physiological function in motor control. READ MORE

10. Neurotoxicity of methylmercury : analysis of molecular mechanisms and behavioral alterations
Abstract : MethyImercury (MeHg) is a global pollutant that is toxic for the nervous system, especially during development. Contaminated fish is the main route of human exposure. Recent studies have indicated that neurological alterations in humans may occur even after exposure to fairly low levels of MeHg. READ MORE
