A Multiparameter Aerosol Classification Method and Its Application to Retrievals from Spaceborne Polarimetry
Classifying observed aerosols into types helps to understand aerosol sources, transformations, effects, and feedback mechanisms; to improve accuracy of satellite retrievals; and to quantify aerosol radiative impacts on climate.

Cortical nNOS/NK1 Neurons Are Regulated by Cholinergic Inputs
CCh has a network effect on excitability within the cortex, as both presynaptic and postsynaptic effects result in an oscillating pattern of nNOS/NK1 neuron excitability.

White Matter Microstructural Recovery with Abstinence and Decline with Relapse in Alcohol Dependence Interacts with Normal Ageing: A Controlled Longitudinal DTI Study
Background Alcohol dependence exacts a toll on brain white matter microstructure, which has the potential of repair with prolonged sobriety. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) enables in-vivo quantification of tissue constituents…

Building a Breathprint: Biomarkers of Exposure Due to the Toxicant Trochloroethylene
Our pilot studies indicate that we can detect TCE and other VOCs in the breath environment that are indicative of neuronal degeneration. Pending studies will investigate the relationship between toxicant exposure…

Development of an Agonist of the TGF-Beta Signaling Pathway to Treat Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to progressive cognitive dysfunction. Current knowledge of the processes leading to AD is still limited, and no effective treatments are available.…

Accelerated Aging of Selective Brain Structures in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Controlled, Longitudinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
Infected individuals are living long enough that there is a potential for interaction with normal senescence effects on various organ systems, including the brain. To examine this interaction, the brains…
