Zolpidem Impairs Attention/Motivation in the Rodent Psychomotor Vigilance Task More Than Almorexant
Here, we tested the effects of ALM and ZOL on the Rodent Psychomotor Vigilance Task (rPVT), a sensitive test of attention and motivation. These results are consistent with the hypothesis…

Longitudinal Characterization of Diurnal Rhythms of Activity and Core Body Temperature in the zQ175 Knock-in Mouse Model of Huntington’s Disease: Genotype and Sex Interactions
These initial findings demonstrate that mutant huntington expression in this model causes progressive motor and thermoregulatory deficits with significant genotype and sex differences.

Microinjections of the Hypocretin Antagonist Almorexant Vs. Gabaergic Agonist Zolpidem in Basal Forebrain Show Differential Effects on Cortical Adenosine Levels in Freely-Moving Rats
We used in vivo microdialysis and HPLC analysis to examine cortical adenosine (ADO) levels following BF microinjections of ZOL (0.6 µg/0.2 µl), ALM (1.0 µg/0.2 µl), or VEH (aCSF) combined…

Calibration of Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometric Measurements of Dissolved Gases: Differences in the Responses of Polymer and Nano-Composite Membranes to Variations in Ionic Strength
This work examines the transmission behavior of aqueous dissolved methane, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide through two types of membranes: a polysiloxane nano-composite (PNC) membrane and a conventional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane.

A Regression Model for Risk Difference Estimation in Population-Based Case-Control Studies Clarifies Gender Differences in Lung Cancer Risk of Smokers and Never Smokers
Additive risk models are necessary for understanding the joint effects of exposures on individual and population disease risk. Yet technical challenges have limited the consideration of additive risk models in…

Invasion biology and the success of social collaboration networks, with application to Wikipedia
We adapt methods from the stochastic theory of invasions for which a key question is whether a propagule will grow to an established population or fail to show how monitoring…

A graph lattice approach to maintaining and learning dense collections of subgraphs as image features
This paper shows how large families of complex image features in the form of subgraphs can be built out of simpler ones through construction of a graph lattice--a hierarchy of…
