Cholinergic Interneurons Drive Motivation by Promoting Dopamine Release in the Nucleus Accumbens

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: Ali Mohebi, Val L Collins and Joshua D Berke | Summary: Abstract Motivation to work for potential rewards is critically dependent on dopamine (DA) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). DA release from NAc axons can be controlled by at least two distinct mechanisms: 1) action potentials propagating from DA […]

Can 1D radiative equilibrium models of faculae be used for calculating contamination of transmission spectra?

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Veronika Witzke, Alexander I. Shapiro, Nadiia M. Kostogryz, Robert Cameron, Benjamin V. Rackham | Summary: The reliable characterization of planetary atmospheres with transmission spectroscopy requires realistic modeling of stellar magnetic features, since features that are attributable to an exoplanet atmosphere could instead stem from the host star’s […]

Ultralight and ultra-stiff nano-cardboard panels: mechanical analysis, characterization, and design principles

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Jong-hyoung Kim, Lishuai Jin, Benjamin C. Schafer, Quan Jiao, Katia Bertoldi | Summary: We introduce a class of ultra-light and ultra-stiff sandwich panels designed for use in photophoretic levitation applications and investigate their mechanical behavior using both computational analyses and micro-mechanical testing. The sandwich panels consist of […]

Human FcγRIIIa activation on splenic macrophages drives the in vivo pathogenesis of dengue disease

Posted by klaurent Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Charles Rice | Authors: Rachel Yamin, Kevin S Kao, Margaret R MacDonald, Tineke Cantaert, Charles M Rice, Jeffrey V Ravetch and Stylianos Bournazos | Summary: Abstract Although dengue virus (DENV) infection typically causes asymptomatic disease, DENV-infected patients can experience severe complications. A risk factor for symptomatic disease is pre-existing anti-DENV IgG antibodies. Cellular […]
