This article is a transcription of an electronic symposium sponsored by the Brazilian Society of Neuroscience and Behavior (SBNeC). Invited researchers from the European Union, North America and Brazil discussed two issues ...

Cannabidiol, among Other Cannabinoid Drugs, Modulates Prepulse Inhibition of Startle in the SHR Animal Model: Implications for Schizophrenia Pharmacotherapy

Peres, Fernanda F. [UNIFESP]; Levin, Raquel [UNIFESP]; Almeida, Valeria [UNIFESP]; Zuardi, Antonio W.; Hallak, Jaime E.; Crippa, Jose A.; Abilio, Vanessa C. [UNIFESP] (Frontiers Media Sa, 2016)

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder that involves positive, negative and cognitive symptoms. Prepulse inhibition of startle reflex (PPI) is a paradigm that assesses the sensorimotor gating functioning and is ...

Caracterização morfofuncional da isquemia medular após pinçamento da aorta torácica descendente em ratos

Prestes, Osias Martins [UNIFESP] (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2014-09-29)

Background: Paraplegia is a devastating complication of surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Ischemic injury of spinal axons is an important determinant of neurological deficits. We assessed motor deficits ...

Development of a urinary lithiasis localizer mechanism to couple ultrasound and extracorporeal lithotripsy equipment in canine model

Andrade, Enrico [UNIFESP]; Alarcon, Gustavo [UNIFESP]; Pompeu, Eduardo [UNIFESP]; Nardozza Júnior, Archimedes [UNIFESP]; Claro, Joaquim A. [UNIFESP]; Ortiz, Valdemar [UNIFESP]; Srougi, Miguel [UNIFESP] (Sociedade Brasileira de Urologia, 2006-10-01)

INTRODUCTION: Due to the evolution of extracorporeal lithotripsy equipment (ESWL) and presently, the fact that most part of the equipment does not present ultrasound to localize urinary calculi, a system that allows adapting ...

Experimental model of facial paralysis by nerve compression in primates (Callithrix sp.): A new model of facial paralysis in small nonhuman primates

Neiva, Felipe Costa [UNIFESP]; Borin, Andrei [UNIFESP]; Cinini, Simone [UNIFESP]; Mello, Luiz Eugenio A. M. [UNIFESP]; Cruz, Oswaldo Laercio M. [UNIFESP]; Testa, Jose Ricardo G. [UNIFESP] (Informa Healthcare, 2012-11-01)

Conclusion: We conclude that facial nerve injury induced by compression is associated with a reasonable time window (4 weeks) that allows possible neurotrophic effects to be analyzed. Additionally, there are no hints of ...

Identificação do nervo facial com fluorescência: estudo experimental em ratos

Melo, Giulianno Molina de [UNIFESP] (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2015-11-25)

PURPOSE: The parotidectomy technique still has an elevated paresis and paralysis index, lowering patient life's quality. The correct identification of the facial nerve can prevent nerve damage. Fluorescent dye identifies ...
