Article Synopsis
- - Behavioral sensitization to drugs like cocaine leads to increased motor activities and contributes to relapse after quitting; however, the exact mechanisms are not well understood.
- - This study found that mTOR signaling is activated during cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization, and inhibiting mTOR with rapamycin reduced this sensitivity.
- - Changes in brain lipids and decreased levels of SynDIG1 were observed, suggesting that SynDIG1 may help maintain GluA2 surface expression, which could reduce cocaine-related behaviors.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between condylar marrow signal abnormalities and temporomandibular joint internal derangement (TMJID).
Methods: Oblique sagittal T1 weighted MR imaging at closed and open mouth and Oblique sagittal T2 weighted MR imaging at closed mouth were obtained from 88 joints of 44 patients suffering from TMD. Condylar marrow signal abnormalities were reviewed and classified into bone marrow edema pattern (hypointense T1, hyperintense T2), sclerosis pattern (hypointense T1 and hypointense T2) and combined edema and sclerosis pattern.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between condylar marrow signal abnormalities and joint pain.
Methods: Oblique sagittal T1 and T2 weighted MR imaging at closed mouth was obtained from 88 joints of 44 patients who complained of unilateral TMJ pain. The condylar marrow signal of pain-free side served as self-control.
