To inhibit an ongoing flow of thoughts or actions has been largely considered to be a crucial executive function, and the stop-signal paradigm makes inhibitory control measurable.Stop-signal tasks usually combine two concurrent tasks, i.e., manual responses to a primary task (go-task) are occasionally countermanded by a stimulus which signals parti
The globus pallidus occupies a critical position in the indirect pathway of the basal ganglia motor control system.Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic-nucleotide gated (HCN) channels play an important role in the modulation of neuronal excitability.In vivo extracellular single unit recording, behavioral test and immunohistochemistry were performed t
We report a PINCH POT case of a 26 year old woman with rash, lymphadenopathy, liver enzyme abnormalities and spiking fever.She was diagnosed with drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) to lamotrigine.Spiking fever in relation to drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome has not earlier been described in adults.Spiking fever is an important sympt
In two experiments, participants decided on each of several trials whether or not to take a risk.If they chose to take the risk, they had a relatively high probability (from 75% to 95%) of winning a small number of points and a relatively low probability (5% to 25%) of losing a large number of points.The loss amounts varied so that the expected val
