(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2008)
Advise your patients to use a pedometer, set a step goal, and keep a step diary. This simple intervention takes only a few moments and is effective in increasing patients' physical activity and decreasing both body mass ...
Gamma oscillations in the basolateral amygdala : biophysical mechanisms and computational consequences
(Society for Neuroscience, 2019)
The basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BL) is thought to support numerous emotional behaviors through specific microcircuits. These are often thought to be comprised of feedforward networks of principal cells (PNs) and ...
Light therapy for nonseasonal major depressive disorder?
