This study evaluated sleep quality subjectively and objectively using polysomnographic and quantitative electroencephalographic measures in women with severe premenstrual syndrome.

This chapter describes one of my laboratory’s working protocols for carbohydrate-based microarrays.

We have developed a semi-automated system for assaying lectin binding to large numbers of glycolipid complexes simultaneously.

We review a versatile photochemical method to carbohydrate immobilization that does not require premodification of the carbohydrate.

To determine if OFQ/N modulates NFκB activity, SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were treated with OFQ/N and assessed for changes in nuclear accumulation, DNA binding, and transcriptional activation.

Here we review nAChRs with particular emphasis on the subtypes that contribute to basal ganglia function. Accumulating evidence suggests that drugs targeting α6β2* and α4β2* nAChR may prove useful in…

To identify age-related differences in neural circuits subserving conflict processing, we combined structural and functional MRI and a Stroop Match-to-Sample task involving perceptual cueing and repetition to modulate resources in…

Aminobenzimidazole inhibitors of GyrB exhibit many of the characteristics required for their consideration as a potential front-line antimycobacterial therapeutic.

We tested the hypothesis that isotopic reinforcement, by deuteration of the bisallylic sites most susceptible to oxidation in PUFA may provide at least partial protection against nigrostriatal injury.

We identified a novel nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP)/μ-opioid receptor agonist, SR 16435, with high binding affinity and partial agonist activity at both receptors.

This a summary of recent work illustrating how sex differences and gonadal hormones influence sleep and circadian rhythms that was presented at a Mini-Symposium at the 2011 annual meeting of…

The objectives of this study were to determine the mechanisms of the observed toxicity of Pentamethyl-6-chromanol and identify sensitive early markers of target organ injury.
