Social experiences shape song preference learning independent of developmental exposure to song

Posted by klaurent Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Erin Mckenzie Wall and Sarah Cushing Woolley | Summary: Communication governs the formation and maintenance of social relationships. The interpretation of communication signals depends not only on the signal’s content, but also on a receiver’s individual experience. Experiences throughout life may interact to affect behavioral plasticity, such that a […]

Allosteric regulation of TRPV1 by the inflammatory lipid, LPA

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: William Randall Arnold, David Julius and Yifan Cheng | Summary: Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a tetrameric cation channel expressed in primary afferent neurons, where it contributes to thermosensation and nociception. TRPV1 is a polymodal signal integrator that responds not only to heat, but also to inflammatory […]

Vibrations and tunneling of strained nanoribbons at finite temperature

Posted by klaurent UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Paul Z. Hanakata, Sourav S. Bhabesh, David Yllanes, David R. Nelson, Mark J. Bowick | Summary: Crystalline sheets (e.g., graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides) liberated from a substrate are a paradigm for materials at criticality because flexural phonons can fluctuate into the third dimension. Although studies […]
