This article outlines a framework of creativity based on functional neuroanatomy. Recent
advances in the field of cognitive neuroscience have identified distinct brain circuits that are …

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), the “happy hormone,” has a phylogenetically ancient
role in neural transmission (Turlejski, 1996). Because the serotonergic system has a …

The medial prefrontal cortex has been associated with diverse functions including
attentional processes, visceromotor activity, decision‐making, goal‐directed behavior, and …

Chronic stress produces deficits in cognition accompanied by alterations in neural chemistry
and morphology. Medial prefrontal cortex is a target for glucocorticoids involved in the stress …

Volumes I and II of the Second Edition, Handbook of Laboratory Animal Science, Second …

The present study investigated the neurochemical effects of the selective 5‐HT6 receptor
antagonist SB‐271046 in the rat medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). The effect of SB‐271046 …

We compare the effects of psychoactive drugs such as morphine and amphetamine on the
synaptic organization of neurons in the orbital frontal (OFC) and medial frontal (mPFC) …

The present study describes two novel tasks relying on spontaneous patterns of exploration
in a radial-arm maze that can be used to assess spatial recognition memory and spatial …

Rationale Lesions of the orbital prefrontal cortex (OPFC) can cause pathologically impulsive
behaviour in humans. Inter-temporal choice behaviour (choice between reinforcers differing …

Military personnel deployed in the Persian Gulf War (PGW) were exposed to a combination
of chemicals, including pyridostigmine bromide (PB), DEET, and permethrin. We …
