Compared with rats with good executive control, rats with poor executive control had more
NMDAR1mRNA expression. There were no significant differences in Glu content and Glu-IR
positive neurons. Conclusion: NMDAR1 maybe plays an important role in complicated prefrontal
cortex executive control.

Previous research demonstrated important roles of stress in behavioral effects of drug abuse.
However, whether extraneous stress factors could differentially modulate morphine psychomotor
effect and its sensitization is still unknown. This study examined the influence of corticosterone on
the acute effect of morphine and its sensitization. Morphine (2 mg.kg-1 i.p.) enhanced the
locomotor activity and formed behavioral sensitization upon repeated exposure. Corticosterone (5
mg.kg-1 i.p.) increased morphine psychomotor effect but played null role in the modulation of its
sensitization. These results indicated that stress exposure promoted morphine acute psychomotor
effect but did not affect the development of morphine sensitization.

laboratory of mental health, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
To observe the effects of Chinese Traditional Medicine Compound (Quqianling formula, QF) on
impairment of learning and memory of lead-exposed rats. 60 rats were prepared by gastric
perfusion with lead acetate (2.0%, 1ml/kg) and then treated with QF for 3 weeks. It indicated that
QF could significantly shorten the average latency of finding the platform and increase the retain
percent of memory of lead-exposed rats in Morris water maze test; moreover, QF obviously
increase the average optical density of NOS positive cells in DG, CA1 of hippocampus. The
results suggested QF could improve impairment of learning and memory in lead-exposed rats.

CV induces nausea and vomiting (N&V) by a visual-vestibular conflict. The effects of body
position and type of visual stimuli on CV and N&V are unknown. In 24 subjects (12 females) CV
was induced by a drum with black/white stripes rotating around the subjects.
3098.7 ‘Yoga’ as Neuropsychological modifier, Paradarami Devaki, India
'YOGA' develop and activate various centres of the Nervous system and Brain Arousal refers to
general response/readiness of an individual modifiable by stimulation and measurable in terms of
psychophysiological activity. The research study was worked out to examine the effect of Yoga
training on a group of Developmentally disabled and normal children on a set of psychological
and physiological variables. Ninety six children (Seven to Fifteen years) constituted the main pool
of subjects. The experimental method employed was multiple group comparison pre-test, post-test
