Regulation of starvation-induced hyperactivity by insulin and glucagon signaling in adult Drosophila
Starvation induces sustained increase in locomotion, which facilitates food localization and acquisition and hence composes an important aspect of food-seeking behavior. We investigated how nutritional states modulated starvation-induced hyperactivity in

Different effects of adding white noise on cognitive performance of sub-, normal and super-attentive school children [PDF]
Objectives: Noise often has detrimental effects on performance. However, because of the phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR), auditory white noise (WN) can alter the "signal to noise'' ratio and improve performance.

Most research on hyperactivity views the problem as either organic or emotional in nature, originating exclusively within the child or his immediate home environment. By comparison, little research has taken into account the effect on this problem of the tremendous cultural changes which have occurred in the last century.

Effect of methylphenidate treatment during adolescence on norepinephrine transporter function in orbitofrontal cortex in a rat model of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [PDF]
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with hypofunctional medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Methylphenidate (MPH) remediates ADHD, in part, by inhibiting the norepinephrine transporter (NET). MPH also
