Molecular Profiles of Pyramidal Neurons in the Superior Temporal Cortex in Schizophrenia.

Pietersen CY1, Mauney SA, Kim SS, Lim MP, Rooney RJ, Goldstein JM, Petryshen TL, Seidman LJ, Shenton ME, McCarley RW, Sonntag KC, Woo TU.
Journal of neurogenetics.J Neurogenet.2014 Apr 10. [Epub ahead of print]
Disrupted synchronized oscillatory firing of pyramidal neuronal networks in the cerebral cortex in the gamma frequency band (i.e., 30-100 Hz) mediates many of the cognitive deficits and symptoms of schizophrenia. In fact, the density of dendritic spines and the average somal area of pyramidal neuron

Positive interactions between herbivores and plant diversity shape forest regeneration.

Cook-Patton SC1, LaForgia M, Parker JD.
Proceedings. Biological sciences / The Royal Society.Proc Biol Sci.2014 Apr 9;281(1783):20140261. doi: 10.1098/rspb.2014.0261. Print 2014 May 22.
The effects of herbivores and diversity on plant communities have been studied separately but rarely in combination. We conducted two concurrent experiments over 3 years to examine how tree seedling diversity, density and herbivory affected forest regeneration. One experiment factorially manipulated

Duration of opiate exposure as a determinant of arterial stiffness and vascular age in male opiate dependence: a longitudinal study.

Reece AS1, Hulse GK.
Journal of clinical pharmacy and therapeutics.J Clin Pharm Ther.2014 Apr;39(2):158-67. doi: 10.1111/jcpt.12121. Epub 2013 Dec 16.
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Despite intriguing initial and associational studies, there remains little research on opiate-related arterial dysfunction and no longitudinal studies. As opiates act potently via P16INK4A/CDKN2A identified on GWAS screens, and as arterial ageing is a surrogate for organ
