Gravity prior in human behaviour: a perceptual or semantic phenomenon?

abstract：:Quantitative autoradiography was used to examine central binding sites for L-[3H]glutamate in amygdaloid-kindled rats since receptors for excitatory amino acids have been implicated in epileptiform activity and seizure behaviors. In tissue from rats killed five days after two kindled seizures, the ipsilateral hippocam...
