Using Ontologies in Hierarchical Modeling of Genes and Exposure in Biologic Pathways
This chapter examines the potential for the use of hierarchical modeling techniques within the framework of an ontology that quantifies relationships across genotypes and phenotypes for nicotine dependence.

Neuroimaging of the Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome
Presented is the neuroradiological signature of acute Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE), derived from different types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences.

Opioidergic Projections to Sleep-Active Neurons in the Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus
We hypothesized that the influence of opiates on sleep may be mediated, at least in part, by the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO), a key cell group for producing behavioral sleep.

Global-Local Interference Is Related to Callosal Compromise in Alcoholism: a Behavior-DTI Association Study
We used a global–local paradigm to assess component processes of visuospatial ability and MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to examine whether alcoholism-related microstructural degradation of the corpus callosum contributes to…

Rapid Alterations in Cortical Protein Profiles Underlie Spontaneous Sleep and Wake Bouts
Preliminary microarray analyses show that changes in behavioral state influence regional mRNA profiles; however, the impact of sleep on protein signatures is virtually unexplored. In these studies, cortical protein profiles…

Correlation of Population Parameters Leading to Power Differences in Association Studies with Population Stratification
We implemented a genetic model for population-based association studies with stratified samples and evaluated the impact on power with different genetic scenarios.

Peptidomics of Cpefat/fat Mouse Brain Regions: Implications for Neuropeptide Processing
Quantitative peptidomics was used to compare levels of peptides in wild type (WT) and Cpefat/fat mice, which lack carboxypeptidase E (CPE) activity because of a point mutation.
