Assessment of brain metabolite correlates of AAV-mediated overexpression of human alpha-synuclein in cortical neurons by in vivo(1) H-MR spectroscopy at 9.4 T

In this study, we used proton-localized spectroscopy ((1) H-MRS) for the acquisition of the neurochemical profile longitudinally in a novel rat model of human wild type alpha-synuclein (a-syn) overexpression. Our goal was to find out if the increased a-syn ...

Visual masking deficits in healthy and schizophrenic women

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

Schizophrenic patients have serious visual masking deficits which are likely related to the genetic underpinnings of the disease because also unaffected relatives of the patients show masking deficits. We presented a left/right offset vernier followed by a ...
