Analysis of GABAA receptor subunit genes in multiplex pedigrees with manic depression (1994)
Journal Article
Coon, H., Hicks, A. A., Bailey, M. E., Hoff, M., Holik, J., Harvey, R. J., Johnson, K. J., Darlison, M. G., Reimherr, F., Wender, P., & Byerley, W. (1994). Analysis of GABAA receptor subunit genes in multiplex pedigrees with manic depression. Psychiatric Genetics, 4(3), 185-191. https://doi.org/10.1097/00041444-199400430-00009

The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of manic depression. Tests of this hypothesis can now be carried out due to the recent characterization of simple sequence repeat polymorphisms for the...

An investigation into ways of encouraging the development of higher level cognitive skills in undergraduate biology students with reference to the Perry Scheme of Intellectual Development (1994)
Thesis
Harvey, J. M. An investigation into ways of encouraging the development of higher level cognitive skills in undergraduate biology students with reference to the Perry Scheme of Intellectual Development. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4873

This project initially focused on a group poster presentation exercise which had the development of higher cognitive skills as its aims. A holistic approach was undertaken to the exercise which involved considering the relationship between all aspect...

Developmental up-regulation and agonist-dependent down-regulation of GABAA receptor subunit mRNAs in chick cortical neurons (1994)
Journal Article
Barnes Jr., E. M., Baumgartner, B. J., Harvey, R. J., & Darlison, M. G. (1994). Developmental up-regulation and agonist-dependent down-regulation of GABAA receptor subunit mRNAs in chick cortical neurons. Molecular Brain Research, 26(1-2), 9-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/0169-328x%2894%2990068-x

Research report
We have used quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to analyze the expression of {GABAA} receptor subunit genes in cultured neurons from the chick embryo cerebral cortex. During maturation of the neuro... Read More about Developmental up-regulation and agonist-dependent down-regulation of GABAA receptor subunit mRNAs in chick cortical neurons.

Toxoplasma Gondii: An Investigation of Infection in the Immunocompromised Host (1994)
Thesis
Nicoll, S. J. Toxoplasma Gondii: An Investigation of Infection in the Immunocompromised Host. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1052952

The aim of this study was to develop a sensitive and specific method of detecting Toxoplasma gondii in the immunocompromised host which would reduce the need for other tests and would ensure the prompt initiation of the appropriate treatment, the eff...
