Methods of Association and Dissociation for Establishing Selective Brain-Behavior Relations
Methods for identifying and understanding brain structure–function relations have evolved over the past century, from astute observations of selective impairments associated with focal brain damage to dissociations measured by combining quantitative neuropsychologic assessment and brain imaging. Enhanced spatial and temporal resolution in brain imaging modalities has led to refined visualization and quantification of the brain’s…

The Acute Effects of Alcohol on Sleep Electroencephalogram Power Spectra in Late Adolescence
Background Alcohol’s effect on sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectra during late adolescence is of interest given that this age group shows both dramatic increases in alcohol consumption and major sleep-related developmental changes in quantitative EEG measures. This study examined the effect of alcohol on sleep EEG power spectra in 18- to 21-year-old college students. Methods…

Depth Extraction from Videos Using Geometric Context and Occlusion Boundaries
We propose to learn and infer depth in videos from appearance, motion, occlusion boundaries, and geometric context of the scene.

Homeostatic Sleep Pressure Is the Primary Factor for Activation of Cortical nNOS/NK1 Neurons
Cortical interneurons, immunoreactive for neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and the receptor NK1, express the functional activity marker Fos selectively during sleep. NREM sleep ‘pressure’ is hypothesized to accumulate…

Condensed Matter Nuclear Reaction Products Observed in Pd/D Co-deposition Experiments
Pd/D co-deposition has been used by a number of researchers to explore the condensed matter nuclear reactions occurring within the palladium lattice by generating highly loaded layers of lattice over the cathode.

Varenicline Enhances Dopamine Release Facilitation More Than Nicotine after Long-Term Nicotine Treatment and Withdrawal
Here, we used real-time cyclic voltammetry in brain slices containing the nucleus accumbens to further elucidate the changes in dopamine release linked to nicotine withdrawal.

Why the Cyber Security Industry Should Be Smitten with Smten
Keeping pace with today’s evolving cyber threats is challenged not only by hackers’ sophistication, but also by the mind-boggling volume of attacks.

Desalination Battery
PARCs desalination battery generates excess electrical energy during desalination mode, and rejects the stored salt ions into a salt water solution during recharge mode, pushing the total energy need for desalination below what is required for RO and eliminating the need for high pressure pumps and equipment.

The alpha7 Nicotinic Receptor Agonist ABT-107 Protects against Nigrostriatal Damage in Rats with Unilateral 6-Hydroxydopamine Lesions
The objective of this study was twofold: first, to test the protective potential of ABT-107, an agonist with high selectivity for α7 nAChRs; and second, to investigate its cellular mechanism of action.
