The aim of the Journal of Behavioral and Brain Science is to publish original research articles and reviews in the general field of behavioural and brain function. Articles dealing with the neuroanatomical and neurochemical basis of behavior are especially welcomed. Multidisciplinary contributions from all fields of t…

Stimulus-preceding negativity (SPN), readiness potential (RP), and contingent negative variation (CNV) were recorded to verify the hypothesis that the CNV late wave is the sum of the RP and the SPN. SPN and RP were elicited using a time-estimation task, and t…

The epileptic mouse model BALB/cByJ-Kv1.1mceph/mceph (mceph/mceph) is homozygous for a spontaneous mutation truncating the Shaker-like voltage gated potassium channel, Kv1.1 (Kcna1). The mceph/mceph mice are asymptomatic at birth, but develop from 3 weeks of…

Although in vitro studies have demonstrated that isoflurane potentiates the function of γ-aminobutyric acid A receptors (GABAARs), the in vivo data are controversial. To determine if GABAARs contribute to the loss-of righting reflex (LORR) induced by isoflura…

Introduction: The impairment of relevant information selection results in clinical symptoms of schizophrenia. Previous studies assessing visual modality, have reported an impairment of automatic sensory information processing related to abnormal irrelevant st…
