Filling in the Blanks: Syncing Teacher and Student Perspectives Within Educational Partnerships
How can we construct an educational partnership with students where we invite them to participate in the decision-making about the content of our classes? How can we create the conditions that ensure our teach...

Spectral information for detection of acoustic time to arrival
The exponential increase of intensity for an approaching sound source provides salient information for a listener to make judgments of time to arrival (TTA). Specifically, a listener will experience a greater ...

Playful Interaction with Voice Sensing Modular Robots
This paper describes a voice sensor, suitable for modular robotic systems, which estimates the energy and fundamental frequency, F 0, of the user’s voice. Through a number of example appli...

Alpha2A-Adrenoceptors are Important Modulators of the Effects of D-Amphetamine on Startle Reactivity and Brain Monoamines
Amphetamines are commonly used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, but are also widely abused. They are employed in schizophrenia-related animal models as they disrupt the prepulse inhibition (P...

Plasma catecholamine responses to four resistance exercise tests in men and women
The plasma adrenaline ([A]) and noradrenaline ([NA]) concentration responses of nine men and eight women were investigated in four resistance exercise tests (E80, E60, E40 and E20), in which the subjects had ...

Comparison of the effects of acute and subchronic administration of atipamezole on reaction to novelty and active avoidance learning in rats
The effects of an α2-adrenoceptor antagonist, atipamezole, on exploratory behaviour in a novel environment, spontaneous motor activity and active avoidance learning were studied after acute injection and continuo...

Plasma catecholamine and serum testosterone responses to four units of resistance exercise in young and adult male athletes
The plasma noradrenaline (NA) and adrenaline (A) concentration responses of seven young male athletes [15 (SD 1) years] and seven adult male athletes [25 (SD 6) years] were investigated together with the serum...

Evaluation of the effects of a specific α2-adrenoceptor antagonist, atipamezole, on α1- and α2-adrenoceptor subtype binding, brain neurochemistry and behaviour in comparison with yohimbine
In the present study we evaluated the α1- and α2-adrenoceptor subtype binding, central α2-adrenoceptor antagonist potency, as well as effects on brain neurochemistry and behavioural pharmacology of two α2-adrenoc...

Additive deficits in the choice accuracy of rats in the delayed non-matching to position task after cholinolytics and serotonergic lesions are non-mnemonic in nature
The role of serotonin (5-HT) and its interaction with the muscarinic or nicotinic receptor-mediated mechanisms in the modulation of working memory and motor activity was investigated by assessing the effects ...

Effect of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on tryptophan and glucose homeostasis in the most TCDD-susceptible and the most TCDD-resistant species, guinea pigs and hamsters
We have previously reported that in rats 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) lethality is associated (although not necessarily causally) with changes in brain serotonin (5-HT) metabolism. In the present st...

Effects of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on biogenic amines and their acidic metabolites in brain and cerebrospinal fluid of rats
Effects of single subcutaneous doses of sodium 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D-Na) on biogenic amines and their acidic metabolites in rat brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were analyzed by high pressure li...
