Cerebral Blood Flow in Posterior Cortical Nodes of the Default Mode Network Decreases with Task Engagement But Remains Higher Than in Most Brain Regions
We employed 3D arterial spin labeling imaging to examine regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) during rest, a spatial working memory task, and a second rest.

Inotropic Contractile Reserve and Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients with Markedly Remodeled Left Ventricle
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ICR in predicting response to CRT in patients with markedly remodeled left ventricles.

Alpha 6 Beta 2*and Alpha 4 Beta 2*Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors as Drug Targets for Parkinson’s Disease
Here we review nAChRs with particular emphasis on the subtypes that contribute to basal ganglia function. Accumulating evidence suggests that drugs targeting α6β2* and α4β2* nAChR may prove useful in…

Diamino-1,2,4-Triazole Derivatives Are Selective Inhibitors of Tyk2 and Jak1 Over Jak2 and Jak3
Presented is the design and synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles, and the evaluation of their inhibitory activity against the Janus associated kinases TYK2 and JAKs 1–3.

Neurocircuitry of Emotion and Cognition in Alcoholism: Contributions from White Matter Fiber Tractography
An understanding of the role of cortico-limbic fiber degradation in emotional dysregulation in alcoholism is now emerging.

Captopril Increases the Intensity of Monocyte Infection By Trypanosoma Cruzi and Induces Human T Helper Type 17 Cells
Here we showed that captopril increases the intensity of T. cruzi infection of human monocytes in vitro. The increased parasitism was accompanied by up-regulated expression of ACE in human monocytes.

Fiber Tracking Functionally Distinct Components of the Internal Capsule
To examine the microstructural condition of this fiber system and to test functional correlates of its sectors in health and aging, adults were examined with diffusion tensor imaging fiber tracking…

Computational Databases, Pathway and Cheminformatics Tools for Tuberculosis Drug Discovery
Cheminformatic techniques have been leveraged and are examined in this review. We suggest that these computational approaches should be optimally integrated within a workflow with experimental approaches to accelerate TB…

In Vivo MRSI of Hyperpolarized [1-13C]Pyruvate Metabolism in Rat Hepatocellular Carcinoma
We implemented a three-dimensional MRSI sequence to investigate this potential hallmark of cellular metabolism in rat livers bearing HCC (n = 7 buffalo rats).
