The research of the form in the construction of the contemporary city

The architectural culture of the twentieth century has addressed a very specific theme: the search for a rule of construction of open spaces in the contemporary city, which is identified and shared as was that of enclosed spaces in the pre-nineteenth and nineteenthcentury cities.1 Unfortunately the attempt is still failed, because, as declared by Vittorio Gregotti, the contemporary models and theories have degenerated into the deregulation of the city, where the relationship with open space has been transformed from a structuring element of urban places to dispersion and fragmentation.

Enhancing endocannabinoid neurotransmission augments the efficacy of extinction training ameliorates traumatic stress-induced behavioral alterations in rats

Exposure to a traumatic event may result in the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Endocannabinoids are crucial modulators of the stress response, interfere with excessive retrieval and facilitate the extinction of traumatic memories. Exposure therapy, combined with pharmacotherapy, represents a promising tool for PTSD treatment. We investigated whether pharmacological manipulations of the endocannabinoid system during extinction learning ameliorates the behavioral changes induced by trauma exposure.
