Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Tylor R Lewis, Natalia V Klementieva, Sebastien Phan, Carson M Castillo, Keun-Young Kim, Lauren Y Cao, Mark Ellisman, Vadim Y Arshavsky and Oleg Alekseev | Summary: The first steps in vision take place in photoreceptor cells, which are highly compartmentalized neurons exhibiting significant structural variation across species. The light-sensitive […]
Kavli Affiliate: Keri Martinowich | Authors: Nicholas J. Eagles, Svitlana V. Bach, Madhavi Tippani, Prashanti Ravichandran, Yufeng Du, Ryan A. Miller, Thomas Hyde, Stephanie C. Page, Keri Martinowich and Leonardo Collado-Torres | Summary: Background Visium is a widely-used spatially-resolved transcriptomics assay available from 10x Genomics. Standard Visium capture areas (6.5mm by 6.5mm) limit the survey […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Ryan Alexander and Kevin Bender | Summary: Opioids regulate circuits associated with motivation and reward across the brain. Of the opioid receptor types, delta opioid receptors (DORs) appear to have a unique role in regulating the activity of circuits related to reward without a liability for abuse. In neocortex, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Eric KF Donahue, Nathaniel L Hepowit, Brennen Keuchel, Alexandra G Mulligan, Derek J Johnson, Mark Ellisman, Rafael Arrojo e Drigo, Jason A MacGurn and Kristopher Burkewitz | Summary: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) comprises an array of structurally distinct subdomains, each with characteristic functions. While altered ER-associated processes are linked […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xin Duan | Authors: Julieta Gomez-Frittelli, Gabrielle Frederique Devienne, Lee Travis, Melinda A Kyloh, Xin Duan, Tim J Hibberd, Nick J Spencer, John R Huguenard and Julia Kaltschmidt | Summary: Intrinsic sensory neurons are an essential part of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and play a crucial role in gastrointestinal tract motility and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: Yingying Zhang, Alden K Leung, Jin Joo Kang, Yu Sun, Guanxi Wu, Le Li, Jiayang Sun, Lily Cheng, Tian Qiu, Junke Zhang, Shayne Wierbowski, Shagun Gupta, James Booth and Haiyuan Yu | Summary: A major goal of cancer biology is to understand the mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis driven by somatically […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rafael Nunez | Authors: Rafael C Nunez, Gregory R Hart, Michael Famulare, Christopher Lorton and Joshua T Herbeck | Summary: Since the coining of the term phylodynamics, the use of phylogenies to understand infectious disease dynamics has steadily increased. As methods for phylodynamics and genomic epidemiology have proliferated and grown more computationally expensive, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Mayford | Authors: Leonardo M Cardozo, Andre F Sousa, Blythe C Dillingham, Westley Dang, Nicholas Job, Eun J Yoo, Sural K Ranamukhaarachchi, Qi Yuan and Mark Mayford | Summary: The nature and distribution of the synaptic changes that underlie memory are not well understood. We examined the synaptic plasticity behind context fear […]
