Brain implant aims to stifle drug highs Researchers at Case Western Reserve and Illinois State universities are investigating what happens in an animal brain when drugs of abuse provide no high. They are developing and testing a closed-loop system that detects changes in dopamine levels caused by a drug then suppresses reward-related signaling associated with a high. A $390,000 National Institute on Drug Abuse grant funds the work.

National Eye Institute grant aims to protect sight from diabetes Diabetes alters the dynamic, causing inflammation that produces too much arginase inside the cells lining blood vessels in the retina. The excess arginase starts scarfing up L-arginine, also needed to make nitric oxide, a powerful and short-lived signaling molecule that enables blood vessels to relax. So blood pressure inside the eye -- and throughout the body -- goes up.
