This paper presents a brief overview of several components of tobacco addiction, including a discussion of progress towards the development of a comprehensive understanding of the pharmacogenetics of tobacco addiction…

Presented is the neuroradiological signature of acute Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE), derived from different types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences.

We hypothesized that the influence of opiates on sleep may be mediated, at least in part, by the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO), a key cell group for producing behavioral sleep.

We used a global–local paradigm to assess component processes of visuospatial ability and MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to examine whether alcoholism-related microstructural degradation of the corpus callosum contributes to…

We implemented a genetic model for population-based association studies with stratified samples and evaluated the impact on power with different genetic scenarios.

This mini-symposium review highlights some recent developments at the gene, molecular, cellular, and systems levels that have advanced this field.

Preliminary microarray analyses show that changes in behavioral state influence regional mRNA profiles; however, the impact of sleep on protein signatures is virtually unexplored. In these studies, cortical protein profiles…

The present pilot study tests the hypothesis that the application of expiratory resistance via a nasal valve device would improve breathing during sleep in subjects with OSA and in primary…
