Recent developments in an animal model of visual evoked potential augmenting/reducing and sensation seeking behavior.

Abstract:

:The early research on an animal (cat) model and biological marker (visual evoked potential augmenting and reducing) of sensation seeking behavior is briefly described. Recent findings with selectively bred lines of rats show that (1) the relationship between sensation seeking behavior and augmenting vs. reducing is also present in the rat; (2) augmenting and reducing is a cortical, not a subcortical, phenomenon, and (3) augmenting/reducing and related sensation seeking behaviors are heritable traits. This paper also discusses evidence for the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors in determining the sensation seeking trait.

  • Antiepileptic drugs for the treatment of panic disorder.

    abstract::Evidence from preclinical studies, preliminary clinical reports, pharmacologic challenge studies and a small number of controlled trials suggests that several antiepileptic agents--valproate, carbamazepine, and clonazepam--may have therapeutic effects in the treatment of patients with panic disorder. We review the the...
