Increased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA in rat hippocampus is associated with improved spatial memory and enriched environment.
Torkel Falkenberg,Abdul K. Mohammed,Bengt G. Henriksson,Håkan Persson,Bengt Winblad,Nils Lindefors +5 more
TL;DR: It is reported that rats housed in an enriched environment showed improved performance in the Morris water maze and decreased spontaneous motor activity, suggesting that environmental history of the animal is of importance to induce expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus that may promote neuronal changes related to learning and memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Researching complementary and alternative treatments – the gatekeepers are not at home
Vinjar Fønnebø,Sameline Grimsgaard,Harald Walach,Cheryl Ritenbaugh,Arne Johan Norheim,Hugh MacPherson,George Lewith,Laila Launsø,Mary Koithan,Torkel Falkenberg,Heather Boon,Mikel Aickin +11 more
TL;DR: Using the proposed strategy will generate evidence relevant to clinical practice, while acknowledging the absence of regulatory and financial gatekeepers for CAM, and emphasize the important but subtle differences between CAM and conventional medical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circular instead of hierarchical: methodological principles for the evaluation of complex interventions
TL;DR: Instead of an Evidence Hierarchy, a Circular Model is proposed, which would imply a multiplicity of methods, using different designs, counterbalancing their individual strengths and weaknesses to arrive at pragmatic but equally rigorous evidence which would provide significant assistance in clinical and health systems innovation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of complementary and alternative medicine in the Scandinavian countries
Borghild Hanssen,Sameline Grimsgaard,Laila Launsø,Vinjar Fønnebø,Torkel Falkenberg,Niels Kr Rasmussen +5 more
TL;DR: Use of CAM is common in the Scandinavian countries, and there are national differences regarding therapy preferences, and many individuals use both CAM and conventional health services.
Journal ArticleDOI
