... Abstract Advances in the basic neuroscience of fear conditioning and extinction, as well as in the clinical neuroscience of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), have laid the foundations for research on the pharmacotherapy of PTSD. Clinical trials have ranged from early work on tricyclic...

... Abstract During the last decade, optogenetic-based circuit mapping has become one of the most common approaches to systems neuroscience, and amassing studies have expanded our understanding of brain structures causally involved in the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. Recent imaging technologies...

... with the results of our team research and experience. Our study focuses on the nerve structures involved in phonation at each level of the vocal formants: infraglottic, glottic, and oropharyngeal. We consider this research to have direct applicability in the fields of neurolaryngology, neuroscience, phoniatry...

.... The psychopathology of French alienists over the 19th century, of S. Freud, and of Henry Ey over the 20th century gave way, in the second half of the 20th century, to the adoption of the DSM and neurosciences, to pursue a pure neurological perspective. However, although psychodynamic models seem nowadays...

... Abstract Since its introduction, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has become an important tool in neuroscience given its unprecedented ability to image brain white matter in vivo. The interest in understanding the mechanisms of action of Deep Brain Stimulation in different targets and indications...

... of the disorder. They have been elaborated from achievements in the neurosciences, particularly the facial recognition models. In return, knowledge about the normal cognitive processes involved in recognition and familiarity has benefited from the work that cognitive neuropsychiatry has invested...

... of warfare and the often inhumane ways in which such knowledge in the field of emergency neurology was gained, the protagonists among the group of experts in military neurology and neurosurgery strongly contributed to the postwar clinical neuroscience community in Germany. In differing political pretexts...

... Abstract The 1920s were a booming decade for neuroscience, and perhaps nowhere was this truer than in Germany. Following the rise of Hitler's regime and the persecution of Jews and others, however, Germany and Austria lost numerous world-class neuroscientists. Vacant posts were quickly filled...

... in neuroscience demonstrate that the reduction of telomere length by anxiety and stress leads to more rapid aging and potential disease vulnerability. Thus, neuroscientific probes may allow for the elucidation of psychosomatic mechanisms. Sadly, clinical barriers, in terms of time pressure upon physicians...

... Abstract Major advances in neuroscience have highlighted previously elusive molecular pathways for autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) which are essential to the identification of molecular targets for drug discovery. The evidence of the heritability of ASD is now well established, and the last...

...-dependent memory has become a key model system at the interface between cellular and cognitive neurosciences. The next step will be to translate our increasing insight into the mechanisms and systemic functions of neuronal networks into urgently needed new therapeutic strategies. Since the early...

..., considerable progress has been made in understanding the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying gastrointestinal functional and motility disorders in pediatric patients. These findings have resulted in more specific diagnosis and the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Such advancement in neuroscience...

... to the etiopathogenesis of mental disorders, to the variations of clinical presentations in numerous entities, to psychiatric diagnosis and treatment and to the relatively unexplored rubric of preventive psychiatry. Advanced concepts of neurosciences and technology-based research can find a place in the realm...

... the implications of the emerging perspectives from cultural neuroscience for psychiatric theory and practice. Cultural psychiatry is concerned with the ways in which psychopathology and healing are shaped by cultural knowledge and practices. Cultural differences between individuals and groups...
