an important role in relapse to compulsive drug use. To assess the effect of dopamine system of
central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) on acquisition of conditioned place aversion (CPA), 6-OHDA
lesion and Intracerebral drug microinjecting technique was used. Dopamine system of CeA was
involved in the aversive effects of opiate withdrawal, and dopamine D1, D2 receptor within CeA
contributes to acquisition of aversive emotion of opiate withdrawal. Those suggest that the
dopaminergic projection at the CeA takes part in the aversive effects of opiate withdrawal.
4043.2 Cerebral lateralization of global-local processing in left-handed people, Mohammad Ali
Goodarzi, Mohammad Reza Zoghi, Department of Psychology, Shiraz University, Iran
This study examined cerebral laterlization of global-local processing in left-handed people in
comparison with right-handed people. 70 right-handed people and 70 left-handed people
completed the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory and performed a computerized global-local task
in a divided visual field paradigm. Results showed that left handed individuals processed
incongruentglobal stimuli faster in the left hemisphere than the right hemisphere. In addition, the
amount of local-to-global interference in the right hemisphere was larger than that of the left
hemisphere for left-handed individuals. These patterns were opposite to that of the right-handed
individuals.

'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

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
difference control group design. The study indicated therapeutic benefit following Yoga Training
Intervention.
4043.4 Fractionation of executive functions in patients with schizophrenia, Raymond Chan 1 ,
Eric Chen 2 , 1 Sun Yat-Sen University, China, 2 The University of Hong Kong, China
The present study examined the phenomenon of fractionation of executive attention. Ninety
schizophrenic patients were recruited. Patients were given a comprehensive set of
frontal-executive function sensitive tests. There were 27.8% cases demonstrated impaired
performance in all executive components and 5.6 % exhibited intact performance in all
components. About 18.9%, 16.7%, 21.1%, and 10% showed intact performance in 1, 2, 3, or 4
components, respectively. Multiple univariate ANCOVA controlling for age, information and
medication indicated significant differences among the groups in clinical symptoms and
non-executive functions. These findings suggest there is a fractionation of central executive in this
clinical group.
