Three Cases of Palatal Tics and Gilles De La Tourette Syndrome

Rizzo, Renata; Cath, Danielle; Pavone, Piero; Tijssen, Marina; Robertson, Mary M (SAGE Publications Inc., 2015-08)

Five patients with palatal tics and Gilles de la Tourette syndrome have been previously reported. Little is known about the characteristics of palatal tics given that there are so few reports. On one hand, palatal tics may ...
Tic related local field potentials in the thalamus and the effect of deep brain stimulation in Tourette syndrome: Report of three cases

Bour, L J; Ackermans, L; Foncke, E M J; Cath, D; van der Linden, C; Visser Vandewalle, V; Tijssen, M A (Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2015-08)

OBJECTIVE: Three patients with intractable Tourette syndrome (TS) underwent thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS). To investigate the role of thalamic electrical activity in tic generation, local field potentials (LFP), ...
Lifelong, central corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) overexpression is associated with individual differences in cocaine-induced conditioned place preference

Kasahara, Maki; Groenink, Lucianne; Bijlsma, Elisabeth Y; Olivier, Berend; Sarnyai, Zoltán (Elsevier, 2015-04-15)

Stress, through corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), influences all aspects of cocaine addiction. Earlier studies suggest that individual differences in responsivity to stress affect susceptibility to develop addiction. ...
Food restriction does not relieve PTSD-like anxiety

Hendriksen, Erik; Bink, Diewertje I; Vergoossen, Dana L E; Suzet van Slobbe, E; Olivier, Berend; Oosting, Ronald S (Elsevier, 2015-01-15)

We used the inescapable foot shock paradigm (IFS) in rats as an animal model for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Previously we showed that exercise reversed the enhanced stress sensitivity induced by IFS. From ...

Measurement of Electrophoretic Mobility Fluctuations of Single Particles Trapped by Optical Tweezers

Yeroshenko, Bohdan (Utrecht University, 2023-11-13)

In this study, we focus on electrophoresis, a phenomenon that describes the movement of particles in a liquid when an external electric field is present. This movement is caused by the Coulomb force on the surface charge ...
