Diffustion Tensor Imaging Detects Callosal Fiber Integrity Change over a 1-Year Follow-up in Chronic Alcoholics Who Maintained Sobriety
Here, we investigated change in CC microstructural fiber integrity over one year in 12 (7w, 5m) alcoholics (ALC) and 13 (7w, 6m) age-matched controls (CTL). ALC and CTL did not…

Forward Acceleration of Ionospheric Electrons by Nau 40.75-KHz Whistler Waves over Arecibo
We discuss a new mechanism to explain the forward acceleration of ionospheric electrons by whistler waves.

Varenicline Markedly Decreases Antipsychotic-Induced Tardive Dyskinesia in a Rodent Model
Tardive dyskinesia is a potentially irreversible drug-induced movement disorder that arises as a side effect of antipsychotic therapy. Antipsychotics form the mainstay of treatment for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and,…

Aberrant Heat Shock Protein Response Is Accompanied by Oxidative Injury in Aged DJ-1 Deficient Mice
Loss of DJ-1 function contributes to pathogenesis in Parkinson’s disease. Here, we investigate the impact of aging and DJ-1 deficiency in mice.

Zolpidem Impairs Attention/Motivation in the Rodent Psychomotor Vigilance Task More Than Almorexant
Here, we tested the effects of ALM and ZOL on the Rodent Psychomotor Vigilance Task (rPVT), a sensitive test of attention and motivation. These results are consistent with the hypothesis…

The Use and Effectiveness of a Question Exploration Routine in Secondary-Level English Language Arts Classrooms
This purpose of the study was to determine the effects of teachers using the Question Exploration Routine (QER) in regularly scheduled secondary-level English Language Arts classes to help students answer…

Longitudinal Characterization of Diurnal Rhythms of Activity and Core Body Temperature in the zQ175 Knock-in Mouse Model of Huntington’s Disease: Genotype and Sex Interactions
These initial findings demonstrate that mutant huntington expression in this model causes progressive motor and thermoregulatory deficits with significant genotype and sex differences.

Microinjections of the Hypocretin Antagonist Almorexant Vs. Gabaergic Agonist Zolpidem in Basal Forebrain Show Differential Effects on Cortical Adenosine Levels in Freely-Moving Rats
We used in vivo microdialysis and HPLC analysis to examine cortical adenosine (ADO) levels following BF microinjections of ZOL (0.6 µg/0.2 µl), ALM (1.0 µg/0.2 µl), or VEH (aCSF) combined…

Calibration of Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometric Measurements of Dissolved Gases: Differences in the Responses of Polymer and Nano-Composite Membranes to Variations in Ionic Strength
This work examines the transmission behavior of aqueous dissolved methane, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide through two types of membranes: a polysiloxane nano-composite (PNC) membrane and a conventional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane.

A Regression Model for Risk Difference Estimation in Population-Based Case-Control Studies Clarifies Gender Differences in Lung Cancer Risk of Smokers and Never Smokers
Additive risk models are necessary for understanding the joint effects of exposures on individual and population disease risk. Yet technical challenges have limited the consideration of additive risk models in…
