The roles of the central noradrenergic and serotonergic system in the activity-dependent regulation of ocular dominance plasticity have been a contentious issue. Using c-Fos activity mapping, we have developed a new, straightforward method to measure the strength of ocular dominance plasticity: the

In a previous study conducted by our group, riparin II (ripII) isolated from the green fruit of Aniba riparia presented antianxiety effects in mice. This study investigates a possible antidepressant activity of rip II using two predictive tests for antidepressant activity in rodents: the forced swim
