Williams syndrome: pediatric, neurologic, and cognitive development.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the triad of symptoms consisting of infantile hypercalcemia, dysmorphic facies, and supravalvular aortic stenosis, which until recently was considered fundamental for Williams syndrome diagnosis, is not usually present and does not lead to an early diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behavioral effects of manganese injected in the rat substantia nigra are potentiated by dicumarol, a DT-diaphorase inhibitor.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the neurotoxicity of Mn(3+) in vivo is potentiated by DT-diaphorase inhibition, suggesting that this enzyme could play a neuroprotective role in the nigrostriatal DA systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Irrelevant stimulus processing in ADHD: catecholamine dynamics and attentional networks.

TL;DR: It is proposed that a disbalance of tonic catecholamine levels during task performance produces an emphasis of phasic signaling and increased excitability of the VAN, yielding distractibility symptoms, and the possibility is open to explore cognitive rehabilitation strategies to top-down modulate network dynamics compensating the pharmacological deficits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coordinated prefrontal–hippocampal activity and navigation strategy-related prefrontal firing during spatial memory formation

TL;DR: Neural activity in the prefrontal–hippocampal circuit in mice during acquisition of spatial reference memory formation was examined and found that interregional oscillatory coupling increased with learning, specifically in the slow-gamma frequency (20 to 40 Hz) band during spatial navigation.
