Progress On The Paternal Brain: Theory, Animal Models, Human Brain Research, And Mental Health Implications
(Harvard University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-09)
With a secure foundation in basic research across mammalian species in which fathers participate in the raising of young, novel brain‐imaging approaches are outlining a set of consistent brain circuits that regulate paternal ...
Heat shock factor 1-deficient mice exhibit decreased recovery of hearing following noise overstimulation
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-08-15)
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) can enhance cell survival in response to stress. Heat shock factor 1 (Hsf1) is the major transcription factor that regulates stress-inducible Hsp expression. We previously demonstrated the ...
Glycine Protection of PC-12 Cells Against Injury by ATP-Depletion
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-06)
A distinctive mechanism of cell injury during ATP depletion involves the loss of cellular glycine. The current study examined whether provision of glycine during ATP depletion can prevent injury in PC-12 cells, a cell line ...
Early NFΚB activation is inhibited during focal cerebral ischemia in interleukin-1Β-converting enzyme deficient mice
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-09-01)
Our previous study demonstrated that the inhibition of interleukin-1Β (IL-1Β) reduces ischemic brain injury; however, the molecular mechanism of the action of IL-1 in cerebral ischemia is unclear. We are investigating ...
Acetylcholine-evoked calcium increases in Deiters' cells of the guinea pig cochlea suggest Α9-like receptors
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-02-01)
The medial efferent system innervates outer hair cells in the organ of Corti. Neurotransmission at this synapse is mediated by acetylcholine (ACh) acting on nicotinic ACh receptors containing the Α9 subunit. In addition ...
Proportional myoelectric control of a virtual object to investigate human efferent control
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-12)
We used proportional myoelectric control of a one-dimensional virtual object to investigate differences in efferent control between the proximal and distal muscles of the upper limbs. Eleven subjects placed one of their ...
The Influence of Community Violence on the Functioning of Women Experiencing Domestic Violence
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-09)
The relationships among women’s experiences of domestic violence, community violence, and their mental health functioning were explored ( N = 94). Social contagion theory was used to argue for the link between community ...
Serotonin Mediated Cluster Headache, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia, and Superior Laryngeal Neuralgia with SAD Chronicity
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Human Sciences Press, Inc. ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-09)
Cluster headache is a rare and severe pain syndrome with elusive pathophysiology. Serotonin pathways within the brainstem may be implicated in cluster headache with seasonal affective disorder and a subset of cranial nerve ...
Overview of Gene Targeting by Homologous Recombination
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2002-10)
Overview of Gene Targeting by Homologous Recombination (Richard Mortensen, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan).This overview describes the basic methodology and applications of homologous recombination. ...
Tracking Quantum Dot–Tagged Calcium Channels at Vertebrate Photoreceptor Synapses: Retinal Slices and Dissociated Cells
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2013-01)
At synapses in the central nervous system, precisely localized assemblies of presynaptic proteins, neurotransmitter‐filled vesicles, and postsynaptic receptors are required to communicate messages between neurons. Our ...
