Naftali Raz,Faith M. Gunning,Denise Head,James H. Dupuis,John McQuain,Susan D. Briggs,Wendy J. Loken,Allen E. Thornton,James D. Acker +8 more
TL;DR: Small but consistent rightward asymmetry was found in the whole cerebral hemispheres, superior parietal, fusiform and orbito-frontal cortices, postcentral and prefrontal white matter, and in the parietal white matter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frank-Gerald Pajonk,Thomas Wobrock,Oliver Gruber,Harald Scherk,Dorothea Berner,Inge Kaizl,Astrid Kierer,Stephanie Müller,Martin Oest,Tim Meyer,Martin Backens,Thomas Schneider-Axmann,Allen E. Thornton,William G. Honer,Peter Falkai +14 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that in both healthy subjects and patients with schizophrenia hippocampal volume is plastic in response to aerobic exercise.
Journal Article
The need for speed: an update on methamphetamine addiction.
Alasdair M. Barr,William J. Panenka,G. William MacEwan,Allen E. Thornton,Donna J. Lang,William G. Honer,Tania Lecomte +6 more
TL;DR: This work provides a comprehensive description of the factors relating to MA use and the major health-related consequences, with an emphasis on MA-induced psychosis, and hopes that increased knowledge of MA abuse will provide the basis for future treatment strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective neuroanatomic abnormalities in Down's syndrome and their cognitive correlates: evidence from MRI morphometry.
Naftali Raz,Ivan J. Torres,Susan D. Briggs,Wesley D. Spencer,Allen E. Thornton,Wendy J. Loken,Faith M. Gunning,John McQuain,N. R. Driesen,James D. Acker +9 more
TL;DR: The pattern of selective cerebral damage in adults with Down's syndrome does not clearly fit the predictions of the premature aging or Alzheimer's disease hypotheses, and the correlational analysis suggested age-related decline in the DS subjects in general intelligence and basic linguistic skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clozapine alone versus clozapine and risperidone with refractory schizophrenia.
William G. Honer,Allen E. Thornton,Eric Y.H. Chen,Raymond C.K. Chan,Jessica O. Y. Wong,Andrea Bergmann,Peter Falkai,Edith Pomarol-Clotet,Peter J. McKenna,Emmanuel Stip,Richard Williams,G. William MacEwan,Kishor M. Wasan,Ric M. Procyshyn +13 more
TL;DR: The addition of risperidone to clozapine did not improve symptoms in patients with severe schizophrenia, and there was no statistically significant difference in symptomatic benefit between augmentation with ris peridone and placebo.
