Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common respiratory disorder in the UK (Shee, 2001). In 1999, the number of people who died of COPD was equal to the number who died of lung cancer (Hill and Muers, 2000). Patients' knowledge of the high level of morbidity of this disease has a large impact on their social, psychological and economic status (Addington-Hall et al, 1998). Pa...

Background and Objectives: Different studies carried out mainly in young non-consuming children of alcoholics show an association of P300 abnormalities with alcoholism and with the TaqI-A1 allele. Since the relationship between P300 and the TaqIA1 allele has not been specifically studied in alcoholic patients, our objective was to investigate whether the association exits in this population. Me...

In numerous and high-profile studies, researchers have recently begun to integrate computational models into the analysis of data from experiments on reward learning and decision making (Platt and Glimcher, 1999; O’Doherty et al., 2003; Sugrue et al., 2004; Barraclough et al., 2004; Samejima et al., 2005; Daw et al., 2006; Li et al., 2006; Frank et al., 2007; Tom et al., 2007; Kable and Glimche...

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland of all animals as well as in human beings. It is not only synthesized in the pineal gland but also many other organs like eye (Cardinali and rosner, 1971), gastro-intestinal tract (Bubenik, 2002), skin (Slominiski, 2005), lymphocytes (Carrillo-Vico et al., 2004), thymus (Naranjo et al., 2007) etc. Besides being a...

The Sanak-Baranof plutonic belt (SBPB) includes a series of biotite tonalite, granodiorite, and granite neartrench plutons that intrude the Campanian to Eocene flysch of the Chugach-Prince William terrane (CPW) for 2100 km along the southern Alaskan margin (Hudson et al., 1979; Hill et al., 1981; Bradley et al., 2003; Haeussler et al., 2003). SBPB intrusions have been interpreted to be the resu...

The brain regulates blood flow to match energy demand to nutrient supply. In this issue of Neuron, using in vivo optical imaging and optogenetics, Hill et al. (2015) report that arteriolar smooth muscle cells are key players in regulating cerebral blood flow in the healthy state and contribute to the "no reflow" phenomenon after ischemic stroke.

Caveolae are small membrane invaginations important for cell signaling that are characterized by the presence of caveolin proteins. Hill et al. (2008) have now identified PTRF as a new constituent of the caveolar coat. In the absence of PTRF, caveolae flatten and caveolin-1 is released into the cell membrane, where it is rapidly internalized and degraded.

Many animals, especially arthropods, use substrateborne vibration signals in communication (Hill 2008, 2009). Substrate-borne vibrations have been demonstrated as an important mode of communication in bugs (Virant-Doberlet & Cokl 2004; Cocroft & Rodriguez 2005; Rodriguez et al. 2008), lacewings (Henry 1994; Henry et al. 2002), wolf spiders (Uetz & Roberts 2002; Hebets & Papaj 2005; Gibson & Uet...
