Disease relevance of Behavioral Research

High impact information on Behavioral Research

• When Congress in 1978 created the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research, the federal government claimed unprecedented power over ethical issues in medical practice [2].
• The possible involvement of serotonin, GABA and opioid peptides in anxiety and in the mechanism of action of benzodiazepine tranquilizers have recently been the subjects of intensive biochemical, neurophysiological and behavioral research [3].
• Prenatal methylmercury exposure and children: neurologic, developmental, and behavioral research [4].
• Results are discussed within the context of neurobiological and behavioral research linking prenatal cocaine exposure to long-lasting disruption of the brain systems subserving arousal and attention [5].
• These results confirm our earlier studies, which have shown that alpha1-adrenoceptor activity is essential for gross and fine motor behavior in the mouse and that prazosin, which is used extensively in behavioral research, has difficulty entering the mouse brain [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Behavioral Research

• These data support previous neurochemical and behavioral research which suggest that SKF 38393 may act by stimulating D1 receptors [7].
• Salivary testosterone measurements would appear to be useful in behavioral research, where subjects are often reluctant to provide serum samples [8].
• These results suggest that large doses of haloperidol, which are normally used in chick behavioral research, may produce behavioral effects by antagonizing multiple receptors [9].
• Previous behavioral research has shown that NORNIC has locomotor stimulant and reinforcing effects in rats similar to that of nicotine [10].
• We also discuss a number of specific issues related to the application of fractal methods in psychological and behavioral research [11].

Gene context of Behavioral Research

• Mice of the BALB/c strain are widely used in behavioral research in spite of the albino condition, which can obscure brain-behavior relationships [12].
• Individuals in advanced stages of Alzheimer disease are incapable of giving or refusing legally or ethically valid consent to participation in biomedical and behavioral research protocols [13].
• The President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research published in March of 1983 its Report, Securing Access to Health Care: The Ethical Implications of Differences in the Availability of Health Services [14].
• A special subcommittee of "The March" Research Task Force studied research in this area and issued a report making several recommendations for future funding for psychosocial and behavioral research in cancer [15].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Behavioral Research

• Microdialysis of the brain structures: application in behavioral research on vasopressin and oxytocin [16].
