Annual Report of Program Activities, National Institute of Mental Health, Vol. 1: Fiscal Year 1980 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of Program Activities, National Institute of Mental Health, Vol. 1: Fiscal Year 1980
These paragraphs introduce the annual report of the nimh Intramural Research Program. The substance of the report is the summaries by the Laboratory and Branch Chiefs of the research of their units during the year ending September 30, 1980. The summaries follow this short piece and the comments by Dr. Robert Cohen, Deputy Director of this program.
A year ago and the year before that I devoted a good deal of this space to comments on the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and especially to the Senior Executive Service. The ses, together with the companion Merit Pay system, are the major innovations in personnel systems in recent years that affect the senior members of our staff. They are systems that are intended to improve government efficiency and productivity by giving more money for better staff performance and some deprivations for poor performance. These pay for performance systems have had to be applied to scientists who already have a well developed reward system based on peer recognition and esteem, and which recognizes that the contributions by a scientist cannot be limited to or judged by any 12 month period, as the ses performance appraisal system purports to do.
The past year has really been the first Operational year for the ses and almost so for the Merit Pay plan. A full account of the first year of the ses might be justified, but I am writing this well after the close of Fiscal Year 80 and will give only a brief summary.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the scientific research findings from the 1979-1980 fiscal year at the National Institute of Mental Health. The scientists analyzed the effects of psychotropic drugs on human circadian rhythms and the alterations in monoamine neurotransmitter systems during treatment. Specific findings include the delineation of a circadian rhythm for cortisol in cerebrospinal fluid and evidence that among the various neuroendocrine alterations accompanying physostigmine administration, the magnitude of change in plasma Î -endorphin correlates most highly with the behavioral and affective changes produced by this cholinergic agent. The author also discusses the mechanisms involved in amine storage in human platelets and the implications for brain amine metabolism and drug efficacy. The research detailed in this publication contributes to understanding the biological vulnerabilities and mechanisms underlying affective disorders and offers insights for further research. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
