Neuroimmune and inflammatory processes have been locally associated with the amygdala
in alcohol exposure and withdrawal. We and others have suggested that this inflammation …

Drug-seeking in opioid dependence is due in part to the severe negative emotion associated
with the withdrawal syndrome. It is well-established that negative emotional states emerge …

We have developed and integrated several technologies including whole-organ imaging
and software development to support an initial precise 3D neuroanatomical mapping and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: VBM has been widely used to study GM atrophy in MS.
MS lesions lead to segmentation and registration errors that may affect the reliability of VBM …

… f min,j and f max,j represent the firing frequency output range of the jth neuronal subtype or
neuronal population. The variable f input,j … is represented by f midpt,j and reflects the range of …

Knowledge of the spatial and temporal dynamics of the gut microbiome is essential to
understanding the state of human health, as over a hundred diseases have been correlated with …

Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disease. A novel agent-based
modelling framework was developed in NetLogo 3D to provide fundamental insights into …

We here propose a parasympathetic endocrine system (PES) comprised of circulating peptides
released from secretory cells in the gut, significantly modulated by vagal projections from …

Quantum dots ( QD s) conjugated with 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) and Mucin‐1 (
MUC ‐1) antibodies ( SM 3) have been found to target inflammatory breast cancer ( IBC ) …

Vagal stimulation is emerging as the next frontier in bioelectronic medicine to modulate
peripheral organ health and treat disease. The neuronal molecular phenotypes in the dorsal …
