Caffeine, mental health, and psychiatric disorders

DR Lara - Journal of Alzheimer's disease, 2010 - content.iospress.com
… Caffeine also failed to produce reinforcing effects of “liking” and “wanting more” at any dose,
contrary to d-amphetamine. The effects of caffeine have mostly been studied using a single …

Proposal of a guanine-based purinergic system in the mammalian central nervous system

AP Schmidt, DR Lara, DO Souza - Pharmacology & therapeutics, 2007 - Elsevier
Guanine-based purines have been traditionally studied as modulators of intracellular
processes, mainly G-protein activity. However, they also exert several extracellular effects not …

Involvement of adenosine in the neurobiology of schizophrenia and its therapeutic implications

DR Lara, OP Dall'Igna, ES Ghisolfi… - Progress in Neuro …, 2006 - Elsevier
… The therapeutic effect of glycine, d-cycloserine, d-serine and sarcosine are targeted to
increase NMDA activity, and as noted earlier, treatment with low-dose NMDA (which would …

Caffeine and adenosine A2a receptor antagonists prevent β-amyloid (25–35)-induced cognitive deficits in mice

…, MW Gomes, DO Souza, RA Cunha, DR Lara - Experimental …, 2007 - Elsevier
Consumption of caffeine, an adenosine receptor antagonist, was found to be inversely
associated with the incidence of Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, caffeine protects cultured …

Neuroprotection by caffeine and adenosine A2A receptor blockade of β‐amyloid neurotoxicity

…, DO Souza, RA Cunha, DR Lara - British journal of …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
… Cells were then seeded at a density of 1.5 × 10 5 cells cm −2 in a 96-well multiwell dish
coated with 10 μg ml −1 poly-D-lysine and incubated in Eagle's basal medium supplemented …

Unpredictable chronic stress model in zebrafish (Danio rerio): behavioral and physiological responses

…, JP Oses, LJG Barcellos, MR Bogo, DR Lara… - Progress in Neuro …, 2011 - Elsevier
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have emerged as a promising model organism to study development,
toxicology, pharmacology, and neuroscience, among other areas. Despite the increasing …

Neuropsychiatric evaluation in subjects chronically exposed to organophosphate pesticides

RM Salvi, DR Lara, ES Ghisolfi, LV Portela… - Toxicological …, 2003 - academic.oup.com
Long-term exposure to low levels of organophosphate pesticides (OP) may produce
neuropsychiatric symptoms. We performed clinical, neuropsychiatric, and laboratory evaluations of …

Optical nanoprobing via spin-orbit interaction of light

OG Rodríguez-Herrera, D Lara, KY Bliokh… - Physical review …, 2010 - APS
We show, both theoretically and experimentally, that high-numerical-aperture (NA) optical
microscopy is accompanied by strong spin-orbit interaction of light, which translates fine …

Spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in focusing, scattering, and imaging systems

…, MA Alonso, OG Rodríguez-Herrera, D Lara… - Optics express, 2011 - opg.optica.org
We present a general theory of spin-to-orbital angular momentum (AM) conversion of light in
focusing, scattering, and imaging optical systems. Our theory employs universal geometric …
