The Nucleus Reuniens of the Midline Thalamus Gates Prefrontal-Hippocampal Modulation of Ventral Tegmental Area Dopamine Neuron Activity
The circuitry mediating top-down control of dopamine (DA) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is exceedingly complex. Characterizing these networks will be critical to our understanding of fundamental behaviors, such as motivation and reward processing, as well as several disease states. Previous...

Neurons in Striate Cortex Signal Disparity in Half-Matched Random-Dot Stereograms
Human stereopsis can operate in dense "cyclopean" images containing no monocular objects. This is believed to depend on the computation of binocular correlation by neurons in primary visual cortex (V1). The observation that humans perceive depth in half-matched random-dot stereograms, although these...

Behavioral and Single-Neuron Sensitivity to Millisecond Variations in Temporally Patterned Communication Signals
In many sensory pathways, central neurons serve as temporal filters for timing patterns in communication signals. However, how a population of neurons with diverse temporal filtering properties codes for natural variation in communication signals is unknown. Here we addressed this question in the weakly...

Partial Breakdown of Input Specificity of STDP at Individual Synapses Promotes New Learning
Hebbian-type learning rules, which underlie learning and refinement of neuronal connectivity, postulate input specificity of synaptic changes. However, theoretical analyses have long appreciated that additional mechanisms, not restricted to activated synapses, are needed to counteract positive feedback...

Melanoma antigens are biomarkers for ipilimumab response
Abstract Background Novel immunotherapy modalities significantly improve survival of patients with metastatic melanoma. However, CTLA-4-blocking monoclonal antibody ipilimumab is effective only in a small proportion of patients. Biomarkers for prediction of treatment response are indispensably...

The impact of weight loss on setup accuracy for head and neck cancer patients in the era of image guided radiation therapy
Abstract Objective Patients receiving radiation therapy (RT) for head and neck cancers often experience severe weight loss that can lead to difficulty in daily setup. The primary purpose of this study was to understand the impact of weight loss on patient's setup in the era of image guided radiation...

Psychotropic drug dispensing in people with and without cancer in France
Abstract Purpose To compare annual and monthly prevalence of psychotropic drug (PD) dispensing and the number and duration of psychotropic treatment episodes among people with and without cancer over a 2-year follow-up. Methods We studied the following two cohorts of adult patients affiliated with...
