Social capital plays a key role in college and career success, and research indicates that a
dearth of on‐campus connections contributes to challenges first‐generation college students …

Ca v 1.3 (α1D) L-type Ca 2+ channels have been implicated in substantia nigra (SN) dopamine
(DA) neuron pacemaking and vulnerability to Parkinson's disease. These effects may …

A recent developmental study of gene expression by Espinosa-Medina, Brunet and colleagues
sparked controversy by asserting a revised nomenclature for divisions of the autonomic …

This qualitative interview study examined experiences of youth-initiated mentoring
relationships (YIM) among youth transitioning out of the foster care system. YIM is an innovative …

Midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons are slow intrinsic pacemakers that undergo depolarization
(DP) block upon moderate stimulation. Understanding DP block is important because it has …

The dynamic-clamp method provides a powerful electrophysiological tool for creating virtual
ionic conductances in living cells and studying their influence on membrane potential. Here …

A new scheme is presented for identifying three sympathetic phenotypes in the rat superior
cervical ganglion using electrophysiology and neuropeptide Y expression. Postganglionic …

The effect of repetitive stimulation on synaptic transmission was studied in the isolated
superior cervical ganglion of the rabbit under conditions of reduced quantal content. Excitatory …

Bursting activity by midbrain dopamine neurons reflects the complex interplay between their
intrinsic pacemaker activity and synaptic inputs. Although the precise mechanism …
