    Notes: Abstract By deconvolving the activity/time curves obtained from the blood and kidney, the renal retention function can be calculated, yielding useful clinical data. However, the current deconvolution techniques are not very reliable; they are sensitive to the inaccuracies present in the data. A more reliable, stable and efficient deconvolution technique based on the singular value decomposition, total linear least squares (TLLS), is proposed and its properties are described. The applicability of TLLS as a deconvolution technique in renography is discussed and demonstrated. Results from simulation, as well as from clinical data, are presented to show the advantages of the use of TLLS with respect to noise rejection in the data. They confirm the superiority of TLLS over the current deconvolution techniques. It is concluded that TLLS needs no smoothing and is a powerful, efficient, reliable and stable deconvolution technique.

    Cocaine disinhibits dopamine neurons by potentiation of GABA transmission in the ventral tegmental area (2013)

    Description: Drug-evoked synaptic plasticity in the mesolimbic system reshapes circuit function and drives drug-adaptive behavior. Much research has focused on excitatory transmission in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the nucleus accumbens (NAc). How drug-evoked synaptic plasticity of inhibitory transmission affects circuit adaptations remains unknown. We found that medium spiny neurons expressing dopamine (DA) receptor type 1 (D1R-MSNs) of the NAc project to the VTA, strongly preferring the GABA neurons of the VTA. Repeated in vivo exposure to cocaine evoked synaptic potentiation at this synapse, occluding homosynaptic inhibitory long-term potentiation. The activity of the VTA GABA neurons was thus reduced and DA neurons were disinhibited. Cocaine-evoked potentiation of GABA release from D1R-MSNs affected drug-adaptive behavior, which identifies these neurons as a promising target for novel addiction treatments.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bocklisch, Christina -- Pascoli, Vincent -- Wong, Jovi C Y -- House, David R C -- Yvon, Cedric -- de Roo, Mathias -- Tan, Kelly R -- Luscher, Christian -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Sep 27;341(6153):1521-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1237059.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Basic Neurosciences, Medical Faculty, University of Geneva, CH-1211 Geneva, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24072923" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
