We have previously found that a subgroup of patients with impulsive personality disorders respond to m-chlorophenylpiperazine (m-CPP) administration with a distinctive spacy/high behavioral reaction and with increased cortisol responses. In this report we analyzed the relationship between behavioral and neuroendocrine responses to m-CPP in an enlar...

We studied the potential roles of testosterone and serotonin in various forms of aggressive and violent behaviors by measuring each biochemical and behavior in free-ranging adolescent male nonhuman primates. Our results showed that (1) CSF free testosterone concentrations were positively correlated with overall aggressiveness, but not with measures...

Male parolees were recruited into a laboratory study to determine the relationship between their previous criminal history (violent versus nonviolent), and behavioral and psychometric measures of impulsivity. During sessions, subjects were given two response options defined as: 1) an impulsive choice—small monetary reward after a short fixed delay;...

Background: We hypothesized that anorectics with or without bulimic features would differ on impulsivity and indices of central serotoninergic function (high impulsivity being correlated with reduced serotoninergic function). Methods: For all patients impulsivity rating scales and questionnaires detailing severity of eating disorder were assessed, ...

These models correspond to descriptions of the disorder as outlined in DSM-III, DSM-III-R, and now, DSM-IV. Specifically, in DSM-III, inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity were treated as three ...

Background: We studied CSF 5-HIAA and HVA concentrations in violent suicide attempters and examined their relationship with depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. Methods: CSF 5-HIAA and HVA concentrations were determined very shortly after hospital admission and compared to those of a matched control population. Clinical evaluation was performed co...

Eine Dysfunktion serotonerger Transmission wurde mit zwei verschiedenen psychopathologischen Syndromen in Verbindung gebracht. Einerseits wurde der serotonergen Neurotransmission eine wesentliche Rolle in der Stimulation des “verhaltensinhibierenden Systems” zuerkannt und postuliert, daß ein verminderter Serotoninumsatz zur Enthemmung impulsiver un...
