The Journal of Neuroscience has received a report describing an investigation by Memorial University, which found substantial data misrepresentation in the article “Bidirectional Dopaminergic Modulation of Excitatory Synaptic Transmission in Orexin Neurons” by Christian O. Alberto, Robert B. Trask, Michelle E. Quinlan, and Michiru Hirasawa, which appeared on pages 10043–10050 of the September 27, 2006 issue. Because the results cannot be considered reliable, The Journal is retracting the paper.
