  3. Hamilton SA, Pecaut MJ, Gridley DS, Travis ND, Bandstra ER, Willey JS, Nelson G, Bateman TA. A murine model for bone loss from therapeutic and space-relevant sources of radiation. J Appl Physiol. 2006 Jun 1; [Epub ahead of print] (HSR&T PIs: G. Nelson, T.A. Bateman) Note: This paper reports the development of an animal model, which had not previously existed, to study the cause of radiation-induced bone loss. Effects of therapeutic-level and space flight-level radiation on bone loss are reported.

Fuller) Note: From paper: "In summary, the results of the present study (1) provide the first neurobehavioral evidence for a vestibular-CTS interrelationship, (2) contribute to our understanding of the regulation of the intrinsic circadian period, (3) suggest a novel afferent role for the macular gravity receptors in transducing activitybased nonphotic stimuli, (4) may have important implications for space-bound individuals, and, perhaps most important, (5) have practical implications for understanding the pathophysiology of, and developing treatments for, circadian and circadian sleep-wake disorders with vestibular etiologies."
