Many neurological and most psychiatric disorders are not due to mutations in a single gene;
rather, they involve molecular disturbances entailing multiple genes and signals that control …

The brain is a highly modular structure. To exploit modularity, it is necessary that spiking
activity can propagate from one module to another while preserving the information it carries. …

While stressful life events are an important cause of psychopathology, most individuals
exposed to adversity maintain normal psychological functioning. The molecular mechanisms …

The weapon-target assignment (WTA) problem is a fundamental problem arising in defense-related
applications of operations research. This problem consists of optimally assigning n …

To better understand the molecular mechanisms of depression and antidepressant action,
we administered chronic social defeat stress followed by chronic imipramine (a tricyclic …

WSN consist of hundreds of thousands of small and cost effective sensor nodes. Sensor
nodes are used to sense the environmental or physiological parameters like temperature, …

Three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuits (ICs), which contain multiple layers of active
devices, have the potential to dramatically enhance chip performance, functionality, and device …

Given that cocaine induces neuroadaptations through regulation of gene expression, we
investigated whether chromatin remodeling at specific gene promoters may be a key …

We recently reported the cloning and characterization of an Arabidopsis (ecotype Columbia)
diacylglycerol acyltransferase cDNA (Zou et al., 1999) and found that in Arabidopsis mutant …

Previous work has identified alterations in histone acetylation in animal models of drug
addiction and depression. However, the mechanisms which integrate drugs and stress with …
