Cerebral Blood Flow in Posterior Cortical Nodes of the Default Mode Network Decreases with Task Engagement But Remains Higher Than in Most Brain Regions
We employed 3D arterial spin labeling imaging to examine regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) during rest, a spatial working memory task, and a second rest.

Inotropic Contractile Reserve and Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients with Markedly Remodeled Left Ventricle
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ICR in predicting response to CRT in patients with markedly remodeled left ventricles.

Alpha 6 Beta 2*and Alpha 4 Beta 2*Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors as Drug Targets for Parkinson’s Disease
Here we review nAChRs with particular emphasis on the subtypes that contribute to basal ganglia function. Accumulating evidence suggests that drugs targeting α6β2* and α4β2* nAChR may prove useful in…

From Biology to Inspiration and Back: Is the Pallidal Complex a Reservoir?
This paper explores parallels between Reservoir Computing models and basal ganglia nuclei including the subthalamic nucleus and globus pallidus.

In Situ Determination of Total Dissolved Inorganic Carbon By Underwater Membrane Introduction Mass Spectrometry
Factors affecting the response of the membrane introduction mass spectrometer (MIMS) system were examined to optimize calibrations and enhance the accuracy of component ocean carbon system measurements.

Sheet-Like White Matter Fiber Tracts: Representation, Clustering, and Quantitative Analysis
We introduce an automated and probabilistic method for subject-specific segmentation of sheet-like fiber tracts.

Sleep EEG, the Clearest Window Through Which to View Adolescent Brain Development
The paper by Tarokh and colleagues in this issue of SLEEP highlights how longitudinal sleep EEG data is arguably the optimal functional measure of these structural brain changes.

A High-Throughput Fluorescence Polarization Assay for Inhibitors of Gyrase B
The assay performed with an average Z′ factor of 0.80 and was able to identify GyrB inhibitors from a screening library.

Relationship Between Circulating Platelet Counts and Ductus Arteriosus Patency After Indomethacin Treatment
In contrast to the evidence in mice, low circulating platelet counts do not affect permanent ductus closure (or ductus reopening) in human preterm infants.
