Varenicline Enhances Dopamine Release Facilitation after Long-Term Nicotine Treatment and Withdrawal
Here, we used real-time cyclic voltammetry in brain slices containing the nucleus accumbens to further elucidate the changes in dopamine release linked to nicotine withdrawal.

Blockade of α6* nAChR Reduces L-Dopa-Induced Dyskinesias; Studies Using Parkinsonian α6* nAChR Gain-of-Function Mice
To understand the mechanism through which α6β2* nAChRs regulate L-dopa-induced AIMs, we used gain-of-function α6* nAChR (α6L9’S) mice. This mutation results in enhanced sensitivity to nicotine/acetylcholine and prolonged receptor-mediated activity.

Question Generation from a Knowledge Base
We present a technique for responding to natural language questions, by suggesting a series of questions that the system can actually answer. We also show that the suggested questions are useful in a variety of ways in an intelligent textbook to improve student learning.

Inconsistency Monitoring in a Large Scientific Knowledge Base
We describe our approach for inconsistency monitoring in a large biology KB.

USP8 Regulates Mitophagy by Removing K6-Linked Ubiquitin Conjugates from Parkin
We report here that USP8/UBPY, a deubiquitinating enzyme not previously implicated in mitochondrial quality control, is critical for parkin-mediated mitophagy.

Modification of the Loss Cone for Energetic Particles
The optimal pitch angle which maximizes the penetration distance, along the magnetic field, of relativistic charged particles injected from the midplane of an axisymmetric field is investigated analytically and numerically.
