Meige syndrome, which has been presented in tardive syndromes, is a form of blepharospasm accompanied by oromandibular dystonia with manifestations over the face, jaw, and neck. A blepharospasm can be induced by antihistamines, dopaminomimetic or sympathomimetic drugs, or long-term exposure to
A 73-year-old woman with no previous psychiatric history received clonazepam maintenance therapy for essential blepharospasm. Visual, auditory, and tactile hallucinations as well as paranoid delusions were documented. Dose reduction resulted in complete disappearance of the hallucinations and
These results in a small group of patients seem quite clear for the benefit of cyproheptadine in patients with BEB, especially where botulinum A injections fail, are too expensive, or are refused. The apparent memory improvement requires further study. A search for more effective serotonin
The purpose of this study was to determine whether antidepressant, antimania, antipsychotic, antihistamine, or antiparkinsonian drugs are associated with eyelid and facial dyskinesias; whether discontinuing such drugs results in improvement in the facial dyskinesias; and whether response to
Serotonergic modulation of spontaneous and reflexive blinking was studied in four cats and one monkey. In cats, facial nucleus injections of the type-2 serotonin receptor (5-HT2) antagonist ketanserin tended to increase the latency of the first (R1) and second (R2) components of the blink reflex to
A case report is given of a very rare spontaneous mast cell tumor in the eyelid of the left eye of a female Wistar rat used in a long-term oral toxicity study. Metastasis of the tumor had occurred in the mandibular lymph nodes and in the liver. Clinically, the animal showed blepharospasm,
BACKGROUND
Reboxetine is a potent antidepressant, with efficacy comparable to that of imipramine, desipramine, and fluoxetine, and has improved side-effect profile. The basis of its efficacy and improved tolerability is sought through studies of reboxetine in a number of pharmacological models of
BACKGROUND
Since the mid-1970s, cross-species translational studies of prepulse inhibition (PPI) have increased at an astounding pace as the value of this neurobiologically informative measure has been optimized. PPI occurs when a relatively weak sensory event (the prepulse) is presented 30-500 ms
