Animal models of cognitive impairment.0849328349 Animal models of cognitive impairment. Ed. by Edward D. Levin and Jerry J. Buccafusco. CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. / Taylor & Francis 2006 376 pages $139.95 Hardcover Frontiers in neuroscience RC553 Contributors describe their work in cognitive research in terms of the animal archetypes used in developing new drugs, focusing on neuronal systems. Articles integrate molecular and neurochemical approaches to behavior applications in animal models and clinical applications with cutting-edge research in such topics as pharmacologic models (muscarinic muscarinic /mus·ca·rin·ic/ (mus?kah-rin´ik) denoting the cholinergic effects of muscarine on postganglionic parasympathetic neural impulses. receptor antagonists and nicotinic nicotinic /nic·o·tin·ic/ (nik?o-tin´ik) denoting the effect of nicotine and other drugs in initially stimulating and subsequently, in high doses, inhibiting neural impulses at autonomic ganglia and the neuromuscular junction. receptors in rats, animal models and the cognitive effects of ethanol, toxocologic models (lead exposure, methylmercury, PCBs, MPTP MPTP 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, analogs MTMP, PEPAP Neurology A potent neurotoxin–which has an effect much like Meperidine or Demerol—that acts on neuromelanin, producing parkinsonism Clinical Bradykinesia, muscular rigidity, resting ), mouse genetic models (transgenic mouse models of amyloid deposition, cholinergic receptor knockout mice, mutant mice) and model applications and future developments (pharmacology in aging macaques, traumatic brain injury Traumatic brain injury (TBI), traumatic injuries to the brain, also called intracranial injury, or simply head injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes brain damage. TBI can result from a closed head injury or a penetrating head injury and is one of two subsets of acquired brain , models using complementary species and cognition models and drug discovery).
