Disordered visual processing and oscillatory brain activity in autism and Williams syndrome.

abstract：:This study aimed at obtaining evidence that cinchophen, an ulcerogenic drug, stimulates the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)-secreting cells in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) to induce c-Fos expression. Without colchicine pretreatment, cinchophen was injected i.p. 60 min before the time of ...
