Response dynamics of midbrain dopamine neurons and serotonin neurons to heroin, nicotine, cocaine, and MDMA

Cell Discovery October 5, 2018 Chao Wei, Xiao Han, Danwei Weng et al. 83 citations

Abstract Heroin, nicotine, cocaine, and MDMA are abused by billions of people. They are believed to target midbrain dopamine neurons and/or serotonin neurons, but their effects on the dynamic neuronal activity remain unclear in behaving states. By combining cell-type-specific fiber photometry of Ca 2+ signals and intravenous drug infusion, here we show that these four drugs of abuse profoundly...

Actos básicos y actos fundados. Exposición crítica de los primeros análisis husserlianos

Anuario Filosófico October 4, 2018 Agustín Serrano de Haro 3 citations

Phenomenology is supposed to provide an intrinsic account of the possible types of conscious acts and of their relationship to each other. Husselr's enduring frame on this subject rests on the distinction between "objectifying acts" –representations– and "non-objectifying acts" –emotions and volitions–. But the sense of the dependence of every act on representations, suffered a deep change from...

Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder: A literature review and three case reports

The paper describes diagnostic criteria, clinical presentation and types of hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD), as well as current approaches to the treatment of this phenomenon using available scientific sources. Three case reports are also presented to demonstrate different types of this disorder. The first case report describes a 23-year old patient with a previous history of...

the Legacy of Kant in Schleiermacher's Religious Experience: a Critique of Current Interpretations

DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) October 1, 2018 Mohammad Ebrahim Baset, Maryam Saneapour, Mahdi Moinzadeh et al.

Schleiermacher's concept of feeling of absolute dependence was the starting point for discussions about religious experience among modern scholars. As the purpose of the religious experience debates in the contemporary, analytic philosophy of religion is to provide an empirical argument for the existence of God, many scholars have expected the feeling of absolute dependence in Schleiermacher’s...

Action, observation or imitation of virtual hand movement affect differently regions of the mirror neuron system and the default mode network.

Brain Imaging and Behavior October 1, 2018 Nabila Brihmat, Mohamed Tarri, Yann Quidé et al.

Virtual reality (VR)-based paradigms use visual stimuli that can modulate visuo-motor networks leading to the stimulation of brain circuits. The aims of this study were to compare the changes in blood-oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal when watching and imitating moving real (RH) and virtual hands (VH) in 11 healthy participants (HP). No differences were found between the observation of...

My study, focusing on Teasdale’s contribution, combines ethnographic, oral historical and archival research to understand how...

Effectiveness of Mindfulness-based Relapse Prevention on Quality of Life and Craving in Methadone-treated Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Addiction & health October 1, 2018 Mehdi Yaghubi, Fatemeh Zargar

Background: Quality of life (QOL) is always considered as a final consequence of clinical trials, interventions, and health care. The results of studies indicate that addiction leads to lower QOL. However, studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions on improving QOL. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of mindfulness-based relapse...

Uncovering the psychoactivity of a cannabinoid from liverworts associated with a legal high.

Science Advances October 2018 A Chicca, M A Schafroth, I Reynoso-Moreno et al.

Phytochemical studies on the liverwort Radula genus have previously identified the bibenzyl (-)-cis-perrottetinene (cis-PET), which structurally resembles (-)-Δ9-trans-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-trans-THC) from Cannabis sativa L. Radula preparations are sold as cannabinoid-like legal high on the internet, even though pharmacological data are lacking. Herein, we describe a versatile total...

Consolidative mechanisms of emotional processing in REM sleep and PTSD.

Sleep Medicine Reviews October 1, 2018 A. Murkar, J. de Koninck

Research suggests sleep plays a role in the consolidation of recently acquired memories for long-term storage. rapid eye movement (REM) sleep has been shown to play a complex role in emotional-memory processing, and may be involved in subsequent waking-day emotional reactivity and amygdala responsivity. Interaction of the hippocampus and basolateral amygdala with the medial-prefrontal cortex is...
