Circadian Regulation of Cochlear Sensitivity to Noise by Circulating Glucocorticoids

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger

The cochlea possesses a robust circadian clock machinery that regulates auditory function. How the cochlear clock is influenced by the circadian system remains unknown. Here, we show that cochlear rhythms are system driven and require local Bmal1 as well a ...

Diazepam actions in the VTA enhance social dominance and mitochondrial function in the nucleus accumbens by activation of accumbal dopamine D1 receptors

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Fiona Hollis, Michael van der Kooij, Ioannis Zalachoras, Laura Lozano Montes, Sonia Abad Florensa

Benzodiazepines can ameliorate social disturbances and increase social competition, particularly in high-anxious individuals. However, the neural circuits and mechanisms underlying benzodiazepines’ effects in social competition are not understood. Convergi ...

GABA A receptors in the ventral tegmental area control the outcome of a social competition in rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Michael van der Kooij, Ioannis Zalachoras

Social dominance can be attained through social competitions. Recent work in both humans and rodents has identified trait anxiety as a crucial predictor of social competitiveness. In addition, the anxiolytic GABAA positive modulator, diazepam, injected eit ...

Immunosuppressive Activity of Size-Controlled PEG-PLGA Nanoparticles Containing Encapsulated Cyclosporine A

Li Tang

We encapsulated cyclosporine A (CsA) in poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PEG-PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) by nanoprecipitation of CsA and PEG-PLGA. The resulting CsA/PEG-PLGA-NPs were

Stochastic Model Predictive Control: Controlling the Average Number of Constraint Violations

Colin Neil Jones, Milan Korda

This paper considers linear discrete-time systems with additive bounded disturbances subject to hard control input bounds and constraints on the expected number of state-constraint violations averaged over time, or, equivalently, constraints on the probabi ...

Deep thiopental anesthesia alters steady-state glucose homeostasis but not the neurochemical profile of rat cortex

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

Barbiturates are regularly used as an anesthetic for animal experimentation and clinical procedures and are frequently provided with solubilizing compounds, such as ethanol and propylene glycol, which have been reported to affect brain function and, in the ...
