Open AccessTranslational evaluation of novel selective orexin-1 receptor antagonist JNJ-61393215 in an experimental model for panic in rodents and humans
Orexin neurons originating in the perifornical and lateral hypothalamic area project to anxiety- and panic-associated neural circuitry, and are highly reactive to anxiogenic stimuli. Preclinical evidence sugge...

Default mode network connectivity change corresponds to ketamine’s delayed glutamatergic effects
Ketamine exerts rapid antidepressant effects peaking 24 h after a single infusion, which have been suggested to be reflected by both reduced functional connectivity (FC) within default mode network (DMN) and a...

Validation of a novel Montreal Cognitive Assessment scoring algorithm in non-demented Parkinson’s disease patients
The early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is essential as it increases the future risk for PD dementia (PDD). Recently, a novel weighting algorithm for the Montreal ...
