Human Behavior: is the response of individuals or groups of humans to internal and external stimuli. It refers to the array of every physical action and observable emotion associated with individuals, as well as the human race.
Complex disease phenotypes - obesity, type II diabetes, and cancer challenge simple models in both evolution and biology. Examination of molecular networks and their dynamic behavior o...
In consciousness studies, a longstanding controversy concerns whether activity in the prefrontal cortical (PFC) region of the brain is necessary to evoke conscious experiences. Similarly, the...
The study of rare, neurological disorder and the development of effect treatments can pose many unique challenges. A paucity of scientists working on these disorders often limits forward prog...
General anesthesia is a drug-induced, reversible condition comprised of five behavioral states: unconsciousness, amnesia (loss of memory), analgesia (loss of pain sensation), akinesia (immobi...
Since its initial description more than 70 years ago, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been diagnosed more frequently in boys. However, we remain unsure of why males are affected in greater...
Most neuropsychiatric diseases involve multifactorial systems characterized by complex interactions among genetic predisposition/resiliency, environmental/social determinants, molecular seque...
The cerebellum is incorporated into the distributed neural circuits subserving motor control, cognitive processing and the modulation of emotion. This lecture provides an overview of anatomic...
The translation gap in biomedical research can be attributed in part to differences in how outcomes are assessed in preclinical research and in the clinic. Reasons for these mismatches includ...
Analgesics are commonly employed drugs for perioperative procedures and are required for painful procedures. They include not only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) but also opio...
There is a growing debate about the usefulness of animal studies in biomedical research and drug development. Some of the challenges in translation from animals to human patients may be from...
The aerodigestive tract is a combination of the respiratory tract and the upper portion of the digestive tract. As these two organ systems share many of the necessary structures used for swal...
