(2015-11-19)Department: NeuroscienceDue to the escalating obesity epidemic in the United States, an important public health concern is the comorbidity of metabolic disorders and mental illness. Mounting clinical evidence supports the comorbid nature of mental ...
-
(2008-03-13)Department: Biological SciencesDopamine plays key roles in many basic functions in the central nervous system. In order to study developmental and functional roles of dopaminergic cells in the zebrafish, we have examined a transgenic line of zebrafish ...
-
(2013-09-30)Department: NeuroscienceObesity and obesity-associated disease together are a leading cause of death worldwide. Recent research demonstrates striking similarities between obesity and addiction in their dysregulation of brain dopamine systems. ...
-
(2011-12-04)Department: NeuroscienceEmbryonic dopamine (DA) receptor (DR) expression in the medial frontal cortex (mFC) coincides with the formation of neural circuits during the period of axon pathfinding but the signaling properties of DRs and their effect ...
-
(2011-08-08)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe superior material properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) such as high aspect ratio, high surface area, superb mechanical properties, thermal and chemical stability have generated enormous research activities to push for ...
-
(2012-12-11)Department: Molecular Physiology and BiophysicsInsulin secretion is the natural response to hyperglycemia, and it is crucial to maintain glucose homeostasis in healthy individuals. Impairment in this regulation eventually results in Type-2 diabetes. From the perspective ...
-
(2016-08-01)Department: NeuroscienceCannabinoid receptors have been examined as potential targets to alleviate the negative consequences of anxiety, trauma-related, and stress-related disorders. However, in preclinical animal studies, synthetic cannabinoids ...

(2016-07-27)Department: NeuroscienceAddiction is a disorder characterized by drug use despite negative consequences. Drugs of abuse hijack circuits within brain centers which evolved to respond to natural rewards such as palatable, calorie-dense foods. This ...
-
(2013-11-22)Department: NeuroscienceAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed childhood neuropsychiatric disorder. More than twenty years of genetic, behavioral, and pharmacological research support the hypothesis that ...
-
(2019-02-13)Department: PharmacologyDopamine (DA) signaling plays an important role in the central nervous system by regulating a variety of functions including attention, motivation, reward, movement and courtship. Alterations in DA signaling have been ...
-
(2013-09-13)Department: NeuroscienceCoordinated neurotransmission of fast acting neurotransmitters like glutamate (GLU) and neuromodulators such as dopamine (DA) is critical for the proper execution of complex behaviors such as cognition, locomotor control, ...
