Journal ArticleDOI

Quantification of metabolic differences in the frontal brain of depressive patients and controls obtained by 1H-MRS at 3 Tesla.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that absolute quantification of metabolite concentration is essential in properly identifying pathologic differences of brain metabolites in depression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lack of analgesia by oral standardized cannabis extract on acute inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia in volunteers.

TL;DR: The results suggest that cannabinoids are not effective analgesics for the treatment of acute nociceptive pain in humans and point to the development of a hyperalgesic state under cannabinoids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonorganic insomnia in generalized anxiety disorder. 1. Controlled studies on sleep, awakening and daytime vigilance utilizing polysomnography and EEG mapping.

TL;DR: It is suggested that CNS hypervigilance and hyperarousal, as actual symptoms of GAD, lead to nocturnal insomnia, which in turn may cause-as a consequence of sleep pressure not slept off-diurnal tiredness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global decrease of serotonin-1A receptor binding after electroconvulsive therapy in major depression measured by PET.

TL;DR: A global involvement of the postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptor binding in the effect of ECT is proposed, with strongest reductions found in regions consistently reported to be altered in major depression and involved in emotion regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myo-inositol in depressive and healthy subjects determined by frontal 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 1.5 tesla

TL;DR: This investigation is a pilot study which suggests an influence of age and antidepressants on mI levels and should be taken into consideration in further investigations in depressive patients.
