Brain function and behavior. I. Emotion and sensory phenomena in psychotic patients and in experimental animals.

For the past 25 years, the research program of the Tulane University Department of Psychiatry and Neurology has been directed primarily to the development of treatment for patients with certain psychiatric and neurological disorders that have been resistant to commonly used therapy. In the course of investigations, using a variety of approaches, new techniques have evolved which have permitted simultaneous exploration of brain activity and behavior. The data reported substantiate an anatomical localization in the brain for the syndrome of psychotic behavior. Further, observations in patients, coupled with animal investigations, have led to the demonstration of brain pathways and previously undisclosed anatomical connections which provide a physical substrate for the clinically observed relation between perception and emotionality. These findings provide a basis for the development of specific biological methods for the treatment of behavioral disorders.

Ethyl mercury p-toluene sulfonanilide: lethal and reproductive effects on pheasants.

Ethyl mercury p-toluene sulfonanilide (active ingredient of Ceresan M) at a dietary concentration of 30 parts per million (12.5 parts of mercury per million) was lethal to adult ring-necked pheasants. Egg production and survival of third-week embryos were sharply reduced when breeders were maintained on feed containing 10 parts of this compound per million (4.2 parts of mercury per million).
