The Pathway to Proof‐of‐Concept for BNC210, a Negative Allosteric Modulator of the Alpha‐7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (nAChR), for Treatment of Psychiatric Disease

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, EarlyView.
Abstract BNC210 is an investigational small molecule selective negative allosteric modulator of the alpha‐7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR). It is an anxiolytic compound with a novel mechanism of action. In a series of Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers, psychometric test batteries showed that BNC210 did not cause attention ...

How Laminar Frontal Cortex and Basal Ganglia Circuits Interact to Control Planned and Reactive Saccades [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The basal ganglia and frontal cortex together allow animals to learn adaptive responses that acquire rewards when prepotent reflexive responses are insufficient.

Cannabidiol Lacks Direct Effect on Cortical Excitability: A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, 3‐Way Crossover Trial

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is approved as an adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome, Lennox–Gastaut Syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis. Its therapeutic and adverse effects are thought to arise, at least partly, from a pharmacokinetic interaction with clobazam, another anti‐seizure medication (ASM).

How Listing's Law May Emerge from Neural Control of Reactive Saccades [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
We hypothesize that Listing's Law emerges as a result of two key properties of the saccadic sensory-motor system: 1) The visual sensory apparatus has a 2-D topology and 2) motor synergists are synchronized.

Pro-saccades and anti-saccades to onset and offset targets

open access: yesVision Research, 2005
Pro- and anti-saccades made to either onset or offset targets were examined to determine which of (1) changes in luminance or (2) the appearance of new peripheral objects, is more important in the reflexive generation of pro-saccades. In two experiments, pro-saccades had faster reaction times than did anti-saccades, but the difference was much greater ...

Itinerant curriculum theory: People's theory against the field's epistemicidal ethos

open access: yesThe Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The field of curriculum studies suffers from a glaring theoretical impasse. Much of this impasse has been rightly attributed to the triumphalism of the neoliberal wave that has massacred the educational hemisphere with policies and practices that reduce pedagogy to an instrumentalist praxis directly associated with the thirsty desires and ...

Saccadic Behavior during the Response to Pure Vergence Stimuli I: General Properties

open access: yesJournal of Eye Movement Research, 2007
If two targets are carefully aligned so that they fall along the cyclopean axis, the required eye movement will be symmetrical with the two eyes turning equally inward or outward. When such “pure vergence stimuli” are used only a “pure vergence movement”

Seizures and electroencephalographic findings in inborn errors of metabolism: Clues to differential diagnosis in the neonatal period, infancy, childhood and adolescence, and review of the literature

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Although inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a rare cause of epilepsy, seizures are a common presentation in these disorders. Seizures in IEM are frequently refractory to conventional anti‐seizure medication and might warrant initiation of specific treatments based on vitamins or dietary modifications or provision of alternative substrates ...

Seminar in Epileptology: Normal awake and sleep patterns, interictal abnormalities, and ictal patterns on scalp EEG

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The accurate interpretation of scalp EEG remains an instrumental diagnostic component of epilepsy care. Knowledge of what constitutes normal EEG findings, non‐epileptiform abnormalities, and epileptiform patterns—both ictal and interictal—is essential for appropriate patient management.
