Effects of methimepip and JNJ-5207852 in Wistar rats exposed to an open-field with and without object and in Balb/c mice exposed to a radial-arm maze [PDF]

, 2012
The role of the histamine H3 receptor (H3R) in anxiety is controversial, due to limitations in drug selectivity and limited validity of behavioral tests used in previous studies. In the present report, we describe two experiments.

Surgical Treatment of Chronic Atrial Fibrillation—Unipolar Radiofrequency Ablation versus Cryoablation, and Left Atrial versus Bi-atrial Maze Procedures

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2006
This study evaluated the efficacy of the left atrial Maze procedure (Lt-maze) and unipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation as an additional procedure for the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patient with other cardiac disease.

Surgical and Electrical Anatomy of the Inter-Nodal and Intra-Atrial Conduction System in the Heart

Journal of Chest Surgery, 2022
An anatomical understanding of the atrial myocardium is crucial for surgeons and interventionists who treat atrial arrhythmias. We reviewed the anatomy of the inter-nodal and intra-atrial conduction systems.

A method for rapid testing of social learning in vampire bats [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Designing experiments on social learning using an untested behaviour or species requires baseline knowledge of how the animals will perform. We conducted a pilot study of a procedure for rapidly testing social learning in the highly social common vampire

Electrical gaps in recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias after Maze surgery: regional patterns and clinical significance [PDF]

The Maze procedure is a well-established technique for treating atrial fibrillation; however, atrial tachyarrhythmias can recur postoperatively. This study analyzed the mechanisms of recurrence in patients who underwent electrophysiological studies and ...

Behavioral Profiles of Genetically Selected Aggressive and Nonaggressive Male Wild House Mice in Two Anxiety Tests [PDF]

, 2000
Artificially selected aggressive (SAL) and non-aggressive (LAL) male house mice were tested in a hexagonal tunnel maze and light–dark preference (LD) box to determine if the bidirectional selection for aggressive behavior leads to a coselection for ...
