Journal ArticleDOI
Optical coherence Doppler tomography for quantitative cerebral blood flow imaging
TL;DR: A simple phase summation method to enhance slow capillary flow detection sensitivity without sacrificing dynamic range for fast flow and vessel tracking to improve angle correction for absolute CBFv quantification is presented.
Journal Article
Is fetal brain monoamine oxidase inhibition the missing link between maternal smoking and conduct disorders
TL;DR: Support is provided for the notion that cigarette smoke-induced inhibition of MAO in the fetal brain, particularly when it occurs in combination with polymorphisms in the MAOA gene that lead to lower enzyme concentration in the brain, may result in brain morphologic and functional changes that enhance the risk of irritability, poor self-control and aggression in the offspring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic mild stress increases alcohol intake in mice with low dopamine D2 receptor levels.
Foteini Delis,Panayotis K. Thanos,Christina Rombola,Lauren Rosko,David K. Grandy,Gene-Jack Wang,Nora D. Volkow +6 more
TL;DR: In the presence of a stressful environment, low DRD2 levels are associated with increased ethanol intake and preference and that under this condition, increased ethanol consumption could be used as a strategy to alleviate negative mood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 Vaccines on Breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 Infections, Hospitalizations, and Death During the Delta-Predominant Period.
TL;DR: Comparison of vaccinated nonimmunocompromised adults showed lower risk of hospitalization for recipients of mRNA-1273 than BNT162b2 during March-August 2021, while considering risk characteristics of vaccine recipients and the varying time since vaccination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in response to food stimuli in a rat model of obesity: in-vivo assessment of brain glucose metabolism.
Panayotis K. Thanos,Michael Michaelides,Michael Michaelides,Michael Michaelides,Juan Domingo Gispert,Javier Pascau,María Luisa Soto-Montenegro,Manuel Desco,Ruiliang Wang,Gene-Jack Wang,Nora D. Volkow +10 more
TL;DR: The greater changes in the Ob rats suggest that leptin modulates the regional brain responses to a familiar food stimulus, and the differences in the pattern of responses with food restriction suggest that FS is influenced by access to food conditions.
