Neuropeptide therapies in chronic schizophrenia: TRH and vasopressin administration.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIM:Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is supposed to be not as effective in severe depression as it is in medium depression. We evaluated the treatment response to an ultra-high-frequency (UHF; 30 Hz) approach, which was used to maximize the rTMS efficacy in severely ill patients. METH...

abstract：:The usual method for extracting evoked potentials from EEG, the so-called averaging, is based on the hypothesis of the stationarity of the single responses in every EEG segment. Therefore, the possible variability of the single responses cannot be regarded. In this paper, a method for estimating single evoked response...

abstract：OBJECTIVE:A growing number of studies indicate increased impulsivity in patients with opioid dependence (OD). However, few studies exclude concomitant drug use and consider depression as a comorbidity, both of which can bias results.
