Phasic changes in dopamine activity play a critical role in learning and goal‐directed behavior.
Unpredicted reward and reward‐predictive cues evoke phasic increases in the firing rate …

Microglia, the innate immune cells of the CNS, perform critical inflammatory and noninflammatory
functions that maintain normal neural function. For example, microglia clear misfolded …

Recent evidence suggests that a circuit involving the centromedian–parafascicular (Pf) thalamus
and basal ganglia is critical for a shift away from biased actions. In particular, excitatory …

Prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ), a potent lipid signaling molecule, modulates inflammatory
responses through activation of downstream G-protein coupled EP 1–4 receptors. Here, we …

Previous findings indicate treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)
facilitates behavioral flexibility when conditions require inhibition of a learned response pattern. …

Background Animals can act as a reservoir and source for the emergence of novel meticillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones in human beings. Here, we report the …

Internal strains within a polycrystalline magnesium alloy plate have been measured during
tensile and compression testing in situ by neutron diffraction. Using an elasto-plastic self-…

the diffracted intensity of the (0 0 0 2) peak in the Q || detector is initially absent. Based on the …

We report record DC and RF performance in deeply-scaled self-aligned gate (SAG) GaN-HEMTs
operating in both depletion-mode (D-mode) and enhancement-mode (E-mode). …

Lentiviral delivery of glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor (lenti-GDNF) was tested for
its trophic effects upon degenerating nigrostriatal neurons in nonhuman primate models of …
