The Impact of Alcoholism on Sleep Evoked Delta Frequency Responses
The KC incidence and amplitude were negatively impacted in alcoholic men and women with exacerbation of the normal aging effects, particularly over frontal scalp regions.

Dopamine and Opioid Gene Variants Are Associated with Increased Smoking Reward and Reinforcement Owing to Negative Mood
We explored associations of gene variants in the dopamine, opioid, and serotonin pathways with smoking reward (‘liking’) and reinforcement (latency to first puff and total puffs) as a function of negative mood…

Zebrafish Chemical Screening Reveals an Inhibitor of Dusp6 That Expands Cardiac Cell Lineages
The dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (Dusp6) functions as a feedback regulator of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling to limit the activity of extracellular signal–regulated kinases (ERKs) 1 and 2.
