The data sets included in this resource are published in Kravitz et al, 2012 Distinct roles for direct and indirect pathway striatal neurons in reinforcement (Nat. Neurosci). The data shows: optogenetic activation of dopamine D1 or D2 receptor-expressing striatal projection neurons influenced reinforcement learning in mice. Stimulating D1 receptor-expressing neurons induced persistent reinforcement, whereas stimulating D2 receptor-expressing neurons induced transient punishment. These 3 recording files contain data collected in 2010 and 2011 by Lex Kravitz in Anatol Kreitzer''s lab at the Gladstone Institutes. Each file contains ~ 1 hour of awake in vivo recording data, containing the spike times for ~30 minutes of spontaneous activity, preceeded or followed by 400 laser pulses (473nm laser light, 1 sec pulses, 3 seconds inter-pulse-interval). The laser pulses were presented at 4 intensities: 0.1mW, 0.3mW, 1.0mW, and 3.0mW, and pulse times at each intensity are given in separate columns in each data file. Finally, each data file contains the identification of ''light-modulated units'' as we identified them (see methods below). Methods: Viral expression of DIO-ChR2-YFP and DIO-YFP We used double-floxed inverted (DIO) constructs to express ChR2-YFP fusions and YFP alone in Cre-expressing neurons, which virtually eliminates recombination in cells that do not express Cre-recombinase (Sohal et al, Nature, 2009). The double-floxed reverse ChR2-YFP or YFP cassette was cloned into a modified version of the pAAV2-MCS vector (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) carrying the EF-1a promoter and the Woodchuck hepatitis virus posttranscriptional regulatory element (WPRE) to enhance expression. The recombinant AAV vectors were serotyped with AAV1 coat proteins and packaged by the viral vector core at the University of North Carolina. The final viral concentration was 4 x 10^12 virus molecules/mL (by Dot Blot, UNC vector core). This viral construct can now be ordered in single aliquots directly from UNC Vector core as product AAV-EF1a-DIO-hChR2(H134R)-EYFP, at http://genetherapy.unc.edu/services.htm) Implantation of electrode arrays for awake recordings Anaesthesia was induced with a mixture of ketamine and xylazine (100mg ketamine plus 5mg xylazine per kilogram of body weight i.p.) and maintained with isoflurane through a nose cone mounted on a stereotaxic apparatus (Kopf Instruments). The scalp was opened and a hole was drilled in the skull (0.0 to +1.0mm AP, -1.0 to -2.0mm ML from bregma). Two skull screws were implanted in the opposing hemisphere. Dental adhesive (C&B Metabond, Parkell) was used to fix the skull screws in place and coat the surface of the skull. An array of 16 or 32 microwires (35-��m tungsten wires, 100-��m spacing between wires, 200-��m spacing between rows; Innovative Physiology) and one optical fiber in a ferrule was lowered into the striatum (3.0mm below the surface of the brain) and cemented in place with dental acrylic (Ortho-Jet, Lang Dental). After the cement dried, the scalp was sutured shut. Animals were allowed to recover for at least seven days before striatal recordings were made. In vivo electrophysiology Voltage signals from each recording site on the microwire array were band-pass-filtered, such that activity between 150 and 8,000Hz was analysed as spiking activity. This data was amplified, processed and digitally captured using commercial hardware and software (Plexon). Single units were discriminated with principal component analysis (OFFLINE SORTER, Plexon). Two criteria were used to ensure quality of recorded units: (1) recorded units smaller than 100��V (~3 times the noise band) were excluded from further analysis and (2) recorded units in which more than 1% of interspike intervals were shorter than 2ms were excluded from further analysis. Average waveforms were exported with OFFLINE SORTER. During the recording we coupled the array to a laser and pulsed the laser at four intensities (0.1mW, 0.3mW, 1mW, and 3mW). Laser stimulation was run in a cyclical fashion, on for 1 second, and off for 3 seconds. Each neuron received 100 pulses at each laser intensity. Identification of ChR2 expressing units in in vivo recordings For all neurons, peri-event histograms were generated for each laser intensity independently. Neurons were classified as ChR2-expressing if they exhibited a firing rate greater than 3x above the standard deviation of the 1-second preceding the laser pulse within 10msec of the laser onset. Each neuron was tested independently at each laser power, and neurons that satisfied this criteria at any one power were defined as ChR2-expression.

Data tables providing an overview of information about stem cells that have been derived from mice and humans. The tables summarize published research that characterizes cells that are capable of developing into cells of multiple germ layers (i.e., multipotent or pluripotent) or that can generate the differentiated cell types of another tissue (i.e., plasticity) such as a bone marrow cell becoming a neuronal cell. The tables do not include information about cells considered progenitor or precursor cells or those that can proliferate without the demonstrated ability to generate cell types of other tissues. The tables list the tissue from which the cells were derived, the types of cells that developed, the conditions under which differentiation occurred, the methods by which the cells were characterized, and the primary references for the information.

A data set designed to provide a cross-sectional description of health, mental, and social status of the oldest-old segment of the elderly population in Israel, and to serve as a baseline for a multiple-stage research program to correlate demographic, health, and functional status with subsequent mortality, selected morbidity, and institutionalization. Study data are based on a sample of Jewish subjects aged 75+, alive and living in Israel on January 1, 1989, randomly selected from the National Population Register (NPR), a complete listing of the Israeli population maintained by the Ministry of the Interior. The NPR is updated on a routine basis with births, deaths, and in and out migration, and corrected by linkage with census data. The sample was stratified by age (five 5-year age groups: 75-79, 80-84, 85-89, 90-94, 95+), sex, and place of birth (Israel, Asia-Africa, Europe-America). One hundred subjects were randomly selected in each of the 30 strata. However, there were less than 100 individuals of each sex aged 95+ born in Israel, so all were selected for the sample. The total group included 2,891 individuals living both in the community and in institutions. A total of 1,820 (76%) of the 75-94 age group were interviewed during 1989-1992. An additional cognitive exam (Folstein) and a 24-hour dietary recall interview were added in the second round. Kibbutz Residents Sample The kibbutz is a social and economic unit based on equality among members, common property and work, collaborative consumption, and democracy in decision making. There are 250 kibbutzim in Israel, and their population constitutes about 3% of the country''s total population. All kibbutz residents in the country aged 85+, both members and parents, were selected for interviewing, of whom 80.4% (n=652) were interviewed. A matched sample aged 75-84 was selected, and 85.9% (n=674) were successfully interviewed. The original interview took approximately two hours to administer, and collected extensive information concerning the socio-demographic, physical, health, functioning, life events (including Holocaust), depression, mental status, and social network characteristics of the sample. The questionnaire used for kibbutz residents in the follow-up interview is identical to that utilized in the national random sample. Data Availability: Mortality data for both the national and kibbutz samples are available for analysis as a result of the linkage to the NPR file updated as of June 2000. The fieldwork for first follow up was completed as of September 1994 and for the second follow up as of December 2002. The data file of the three phases of the study is ready for analysis. * Dates of Study: 1989-1992 * Study Features: Longitudinal, International * Sample Size: 2,891

http://www.ifs.org.uk/ELSA

An interdisciplinary data resource on health, economic position and quality of life as people age. Longitudinal multidisciplinary data from a representative sample of the English population aged 50 and older have been collected. Both objective and subjective data are collected relating to health and disability, biological markers of disease, economic circumstance, social participation, networks and well-being. Participants are surveyed every two years to see how people''s health, economic and social circumstances may change over time. One of the study''s aims is to determine the relationships between functioning and health, social networks, resources and economic position as people plan for, move into and progress beyond retirement. It is patterned after the Health and Retirement Study, a similar study based in the United States. ELSA''s method of data collection includes face-to-face interview with respondents aged 50+; self-completion; and clinical, physical, and performance measurements (e.g., timed walk). Wave 2 added questions about quality of health care, literacy, and household consumption, and a visit by a nurse to obtain anthropometric, blood pressure, and lung function measurements, as well as saliva and blood samples, and to record results from tests of balance and muscle strength. Another new aspect of Wave 2 is the ''Exit Interview'' carried out with proxy informants to collect data about respondents who have died since Wave 1. This interview includes questions about the respondents'' physical and psychological health, the care and support they received, their memory and mood in the last year of their life, and details of what has happened to their finances after their death. Wave 3 data added questions related to mortgages and pensions. The intention is to conduct interviews every 2 years, and to have a nurse visit every 4 years. It also is envisioned that the ELSA data will ultimately be linked to available administrative data, such as death registry data, a cancer register, NHS hospital episodes data, National Insurance contributions, benefits, and tax credit records. The survey data are designed to be used for the investigation of a broad set of topics relevant to understanding the aging process. These include: * health trajectories, disability and healthy life expectancy; * the determinants of economic position in older age; * the links between economic position, physical health, cognition and mental health; * the nature and timing of retirement and post-retirement labour market activity; * household and family structure, social networks and social supports; * patterns, determinants and consequences of social, civic and cultural participation; * predictors of well-being. Current funding for ELSA will extend the panel to 12 years of study, giving significant potential for longitudinal analyses to examine causal processes. * Dates of Study: 2002-2007 * Study Features: Longitudinal, International, Anthropometric Measures * Sample Size: ** 2000-2003 (Wave 1): 12,100 ** 2004-2005 (Wave 2): 9,433 ** 2006-2007 (Wave 3): 9,771 ** 2008-2009 (Wave 4): underway Links * Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS): http://www.esds.ac.uk/longitudinal/about/overview.asp * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/00139#scope-of-study

A dataset of a longitudinal study of over 3,000 Mexican-Americans aged 65 or over living in five southwestern states. The objective is to describe the physical and mental health of the study group and link them to key social variables (e.g., social support, health behavior, acculturation, migration). To the extent possible, the study was modeled after the existing EPESE studies, especially the Duke EPESE, which included a large sample if African-Americans. Unlike the other EPESE studies that were restricted to small geographic areas, the Hispanic EPESE aimed at obtaining a representative sample of community-dwelling Mexican-American elderly residing in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and California. Approximately 85% of Mexican-American elderly reside in these states and data were obtained that are generalizable to roughly 500,000 older people. The final sample of 3,050 subjects at baseline is comparable to those of the other EPESE studies. Data Availability: Waves I to IV are available through the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA), ICPSR. Also available through NACDA is the ����??Resource Book of the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly����?? which offers a thorough review of the data and its applications. All subjects aged 75 or older were interviewed for Wave V and 902 new subjects were added. Hemoglobin A1c test kits were provided to subjects who self-reported diabetes. Approximately 270 of the kits were returned for analyses. Wave V data are being validated and reviewed. A tentative timeline for the archiving of Wave V data is November 2006. Wave VI interviewing and data collection is scheduled to begin in Fall 2006. * Dates of Study: 1993-2006 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority oversamples, Anthropometric Measures * Sample Size: ** 1993-4: 3,050 (Wave I) ** 1995-6: 2,438 (Wave II) ** 1998-9: 1,980 (Wave III) ** 2000-1: 1,682 (Wave IV) ** 2004-5: 2,073 (Wave V) ** 2006-7: (Wave VI) Links: * ICPSR Wave 1: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/2851 * ICPSR Wave 2: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/3385 * ICPSR Wave 3: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/4102 * ICPSR Wave 4: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/4314 * ICPSR Wave 5: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/25041 * ICPSR Wave 6: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/29654

A dataset, 1970-2009, containing equivalently defined variables for the British Household Panel Study (BHPS), the Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA), the Korea Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) (new this year), the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE) (new this year), the Swiss Household Panel (SHP), the Canadian Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID), and the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The data are designed to allow cross-national researchers not experienced in panel data analysis to access a simplified version of these panels, while providing experienced panel data users with guidelines for formulating equivalent variables across countries. The CNEF permit researchers to track yearly changes in the health and economic well-being of older people relative to younger people in the study countries. The equivalent file provides a set of constructed variables (for example pre- and post-government income and United States and international household equivalence weights) that are not directly available on the original surveys. Since the Cross-National Equivalent File 1970-2009 can be merged with the original surveys, PSID-CNEF users can easily incorporate these constructed variables into current analyses. The most recent release of the Equivalent File includes: * BHPS data from 1991 to 2005 on over 21,000 individuals and approximately 6,000 households. * GSOEP data from 1984 to 2007 on over 20,000 individuals and approximately 6,000 households in Germany. * HILDA data from 2001 to 2006 on over 19,000 individuals and 7,000 households. * PSID data from 1980 to 2005 on over 33,000 individuals and approximately 7,000 households. * SHP data from 1999 to 2006 on 12,900 individuals and 5,000 households. * SLID data from 1993 to 2006 on over 95,000 individuals and approximately 32,000 households. With one exception, the CNEF country data are available on CD-ROM from Cornell University for a fee. The Canadian SLID data are not distributed on the CD but are available to CNEF registered researchers through special arrangements with Statistics Canada. Complete instructions for obtaining CNEF data may be accessed on the project website. * Dates of Study: 1980-2007 * Study Features: International, Longitudinal * Sample Size: ** BHPS: 21,000+ ** PSID: 33,000+ ** SLID: 95,000+ ** GSOEP: 20,000+ ** HILDA: 19,000+ ** SHP: 12,900+ NACDA link: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NACDA/studies/00145/detail

Dataset from an investigation of biochemical evidence of myocardial strain, oxidative stress, and cardiomyocyte injury in 55 acute KD subjects (30 with paired convalescent samples), 54 febrile control (FC), and 50 healthy control (HC) children by measuring concentrations of cardiovascular biomarkers. NT-proBNP and sST2 were elevated in acute KD subjects and correlated with impaired myocardial relaxation. These findings, combined with elevated levels of cTnI, suggest that both cardiomyocyte stress and cell death are associated with myocardial inflammation in acute KD.
