Inhibitory serotonergic input likely contributes to wakefulness bouts, affecting the diurnal rhythm of sleep and wakefulness.

We aimed to evaluate the impact of a novel noninvasive oral pressure therapy (OPT) (Winx®, ApniCure) system on polysomnographic measures of sleep-disordered breathing, sleep architecture, and sleep stability in obstructive…

The goal of this study was to determine whether the duration of nicotine administration affects its ability to reduce LIDs in levodopa-primed and levadopa-naíve monkeys and also to test whether…

Our hypothesis is that polymorphisms in genes that code for these molecules may be associated with periodontitis. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between +17 (T/C) CD28 and…

Here we show that the autophagy protein beclin 1 is required for efficient phagocytosis in vitro and in mouse brains. Interestingly, microglia isolated from human Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brains show significantly…

We propose an interactive approach that enables a user to efficiently obtain near perfect vessel segmentation with a few mouse clicks. Given two seed points, the approach seeks an optimal…

A panel of only three proteins is sufficient to accurately distinguish an individual that was exposed to low-levels of ionizing radiation from an unexposed person. These findings have significant implications…
