MGLUR-DEPENDENT SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY IN DRUG-SEEKING.

mGluR-dependent synaptic plasticity in drug-seeking.

A primary feature of drug addiction is the compulsive use despite negative consequences.A general consensus is emerging on the capacity of addictive substances to co-opt synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in brain circuits which are involved in reinforcement and reward processing.A current hypothesis is that drug-driven neuroadaptations

Bragg-Primakoff axion photoconversion in crystal detectors

Abstract Axions and axion-like pseudoscalar particles with dimension-5 couplings to photons exhibit coherent Primakoff scattering with ordered crystals at keV energy scales, making for a natural detection technique in Shorts/Bloomers searches for solar axions.We find that there are large suppressive corrections, potentially greater than a factor of

Cyberbullying definitions and measurements in children and adolescents: Summarizing 20 years of global efforts

Despite numerous instruments existing to assist in the measurement of specific cyberbullying behaviors or cyberbullying in general, it is still unclear their purpose, corresponding scenarios, and their effectiveness.This study, therefore, aims to provide a comprehensive review of academic efforts on cyberbullying definitions, measurements, and thei
