Neuromodulators constrain the activity of neurons and neuronal networks by restricting their parameter space
Neurons are organized into networks and circuits. When neurons and neuronal circuits are perturbed by trauma, growth, or disease, the activity of neurons and the release of so-call...
Trauma-informed, resilience-based telehealth intervention for improving HIV prevention and HCV care for persons who inject drugs in the Deep South
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Persons who inject drugs (PWID) are at elevated risk for HIV and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) due to needle sharing and unsafe sexual practices. Amidst the unpr...
CAREER: A cortex-basal forebrain loop enabling task-specific cognitive behavior
Cognitive flexibility, or the ability to make different decisions to meet ever-changing demands from the environment, is essential for the survival of humans and other animals. To...
