Brain Imaging of Neuromelanin May be Key to Understanding Extensive Substance Use
Stony Brook University

A study that used a specialized type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), named neuromelanin-sensitive MRI, showed that this type of MRI signal was increased in regions of the midbrain in young adults ages 20 to 24 who had an extensive alcohol and drug use history. The findings are published early online in the American Journal of Psychiatry.

Challenging Current Understanding, Study Reveals Rapid Release of Dopamine Not Needed for Initiating Movement
Harvard Medical School

At a glance: Study in mice reveals rapid release of dopamine is not needed for initiating movement but is important for activities related to reward-seeking and motivation. The findings help explain why the widely used Parkinson’s drug levodopa improves movement-related symptoms but often fails to ameliorate some cognitive ones. The work may inform the development of new therapies that restore both slow and fast dopamine action to treat multiple symptoms.

Women More Likely Than Men to Die After Heart Surgery Complications
Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan

Despite having no greater chance of developing problems after high risk cardiovascular surgery, women are more likely than men to die from postoperative complications, a University of Michigan-led study suggests. The quality of a hospital where the procedure was performed did not affect the disparity between sexes. Researchers say the "failure to rescue" is an issue for the entire United States health care system.

Newswise: Alaska’s Iliamna Lake Harbor Seals Genetically Isolated from Entire Pacific Ocean

Florida Atlantic University

Alaska’s Iliamna Lake harbor seals have been difficult to study because of their remoteness. They weren’t even identified as harbor seals until 2013. Now, a new genetic study has found significant differences, indicating that the Iliamna seals may represent a unique, endemic form of harbor seal. Findings suggest they may be evolutionarily, reproductively, and demographically distinct from other Pacific harbor seal populations sampled across the Pacific, including Japan, the Commander Islands, other parts of Alaska, and California.
