Abstract: Nicotine is a highly addictive compound present in tobacco, which causes the release of dopamine in different regions of the brain. Recent studies have shown that astrocytes express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and mediate calcium… read more here.

Abstract: The optical attenuation coefficient (OAC) estimated using optical coherence tomography (OAC-OCT) offers a label-free 3D mapping of tissue infarction, but the physiological origin of the OAC contrast remains unclear. For effectively suppressing OAC fluctuations, we… read more here.
