Vincenzo R. Sanguineti 2007 Three languages to integrate neurobiology and psychology I met Vincenzo Sanguineti at a crucial point of my career, when, after 20 years of involvement in biological research applied to psychiatric disorders, I started to feel the emptiness and aridity of biological explanations that, besides the evidence of being incomplete and rough, lack, as Mandell […]

Edited by Michael S. Ritsner and A. George Awad 2007 New Perspectives on Research and Treatment Over the past few decades health-related quality of life (HRQL) has emerged as the new image of medicine viewed from a psychosocial perspective. The concept of Quality of Life has attracted a good deal of interest, not only from a clinical perspective […]

Kuei-Yuan Tseng Marco Atzori Editors 2007 The discovery by Patricia Goldman-Rakic that dopamine plays important roles in the modulation of prefrontal cortex neuronal activity during working memory was a milestone in the field of monoamine research. Since then, a significant number of studies from cellular to system physiology have investigated the neural basis of monoamine modulation in the cortex, […]

Robert Plonsey and Roger C. Barr 2007 A Quantitative Approach The study of electrophysiology has progressed rapidly because of the precise, delicate, and ingenious experimental studies of many investigators. The field has also made great strides by unifying these experimental observations through mathematical descriptions based on electromagnetic field theory, electrochemistry, etc., which underlie these experiments. In turn, these […]

Xavier Palazzi . Nicole Bordier 2008 Laboratory-bred common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) have a natural lifespan in captivity in excess of 12 years, and their maximum longevity is more than 16 years. Due to its small size, its relatively easy adaptation to laboratory conditions and neuroanatomical similarities with human species, this animal is considered to represent a convenient primate […]
