A single photon emission computerised tomography study of regional brain function in elderly patients with major depression and with Alzheimer-type dementia. British Journal of Psychiatry, 163(2), 155-165. doi:10.1192/bjp.163.2.155

The uptake, at rest, of 99mTc-exametazime into different brain regions was compared using SPECT for 20 elderly subjects with major depressive disorder, 20 with Alzheimer-type dementia, and 30 age-matched normal volunteers. Uptake was referred to calc...

The applicability of the Charing Cross health indicator (CH-X) to the field of mental health was investigated in a community setting using descriptive statistics and principal components analysis. The CH-X is based on assessments of (i) distress and... Read More about QALYs in mental health: a case study.

A computer-based microworld for the assessment and remediation of sentence processing deficits in aphasia. (1991)
Thesis
Crerar, M. A. A computer-based microworld for the assessment and remediation of sentence processing deficits in aphasia. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4968

This thesis investigates impairments of written sentence comprehension in 14 aphasic adults. The primary purpose of the research was to apply computer technology to the process of assessment, with the aim of improving diagnostic precision and ther...

Using in situ hybridization histochemistry, we have demonstrated that 3 ? subunit mRNAs of the {GABAA} receptor are present in different cell populations of the bovine cerebellum. While the ?1 mRNA is the most abundant and is present in granule cells...
