Abstract Addiction to drugs such as cocaine is marked by cycles of compulsive drug‐taking and drug‐seeking behavior. Although the transition addiction thought recruit neural processes in dorsal striatum, little known regarding role striatal projections substantia nigra (i.e. direct pathway) regulating these behaviors. Combining a Cre‐recombinase‐dependent chemogenetic approach with self‐administration paradigm that produces both low‐risk high‐risk phenotypes, we examined effect transiently...
Drug addiction is a chronic disease that shaped by alterations in neuronal function within the cortical-basal ganglia-thalamic circuit. However, our understanding of how this circuit regulates drug-seeking remains incomplete, and relapse rates remain high. The midline thalamic nuclei are an integral component poised to mediate behaviors, including relapse. It surprising little research has examined contribution their efferent projections To address this, we expressed inhibitory, Gi/o...
Abstract Early life experiences affect the formation of neuronal networks, which can have a profound impact on brain function and behavior later in life. Previous work has shown that mice exposed to excessive sensory stimulation during development are hyperactive novelty seeking, display impaired cognition compared with controls. In this study, we addressed issue whether could alter behaviors related addiction underlying circuitry CD-1 mice. We found reinforcing properties cocaine were...
To evaluate the methodological soundness and performance of 3 obesity quality measures aimed at promoting improvements in care.Retrospective, clinical, administrative data-based observational research study to scientific soundness, feasibility, measures.Four test sites (clinicians/clinician groups) submitted clinical health data including patient demographics, diagnoses, encounter information for panels encompassing individuals aged 18 79 years with least 1 ambulatory visit between July 1,...
Transgender and gender-diverse populations face multiple cancer care inequities disparities across the journey, such as delayed diagnosis, denial of care, worse clinical outcomes. Efforts to reduce continuum generally must identify address specific needs transgender individuals. Quality measurement plays a key role in identifying gaps monitoring progress toward high-quality, equitable This manuscript explores several tactics drive quality improvement for individuals: updating measures...
Adult immunization rates are low and continue to fail meet national targets. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic halted routine health care services for many, including vaccinations. This study explored whether the National Committee Quality Assurance's Immunization Status (AIS) measure, which had previously only been evaluated reporting by plans, could be leveraged organizations (HCOs) as a tactic improve rates. Methods included quantitative analysis of deidentified patient electronic...
