Cortical Processing of Respiratory Afferent Stimuli During Sleep in Children with the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Cortical processing of respiratory afferent information can be tested by measuring respiratory-related evoked potentials (RREPs). We hypothesized that children with OSAS have blunted RREP responses compared to normal children during…

Roles of Insulin and Transferrin in Neural Progenitor Survival and Proliferation
In the current study, we examined the requirements for NSC proliferation and survival in vitro using the neurosphere culture system.

Frontal Callosal Fiber Integrity Selectively Predicts Coordinated Psychomotor Performance in Chronic Alcoholism
Quantitative fiber tracking with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a new approach for assessing deficits in the microstructural integrity of white matter circuits that may underlie cognitive deficits associated with…

Genes Implicated in Serotonergic and Dopaminergic Functioning Predict BMI Categories
This study addressed the hypothesis that variation in genes associated with dopamine function, serotonin function (SLC6A4, and regulation of monoamine levels (MAOA) may be predictive of BMI categories in young…

Evaluation of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Atherosclerosis Using a Novel Noninvasive Imaging Approach
This study evaluated the ability of the novel gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent P947 to target MMPs in atherosclerotic plaques.

Canary in a Coal Mine? Interest in Bupropion SR Use Among Smokers in the COMPASS Trial
In this letter, we share our experience recruiting smokers to three clinical cessation trials, each offering concomitant pharmacotherapy.

Inspiratory Contrast for in Vivo Optical Imaging
We demonstrate the use of inspired oxygen and carbon dioxide as a possible route to increase contrast in optical imaging of cancerous tissue.

Fe-Radiation-Induced Alterations in Circulating Leukocyte Populations in the Apoe Mouse Atherosclerosis Model Are Temporary
We irradiated ApoE mice with 56Fe focused to the aorta and carotids to determine how irradiation of the thymus with 56Fe affects circulating lymphocyte number, and ultimately to determine the…
