Impaired cortical plasticity after early hypoxia–ischemia

Failor SW, Evans MM, Cang J, Stryker MP, McQuillen PS (2006) Impaired cortical plasticity after early hypoxia–ischemia. Neuroscience 2006 Abstracts 717.14. Society for Neuroscience, Atlanta, GA. Summary: Background: Unique forms of structural plasticity occur in sensory cortex during critical periods in the developing brain. Recovery from neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury may involve plasticity mechanisms. Objective:

The effects of a norepinephrine reuptake blocker, atomoxotine, on an attentional set shifting impairment caused by prefrontal lesions

McGaughy JA (2006) The effects of a norepinephrine reuptake blocker, atomoxotine, on an attentional set shifting impairment caused by prefrontal lesions. Neuroscience 2006 Abstracts 749.17. Society for Neuroscience, Atlanta, GA. Summary: There is substantial evidence to support the role of norepineprhine (NE) in selective attention. The NE system is hypothesized to maintain task-related attentional focus
