Neurotrophin NT-4/5 Promotes Structural Changes in Neurons of the Developing Visual Cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Antonella Antonini, Sheri L Harris and Michael P Stryker | Summary: Current hypotheses on the mechanisms underlying the development and plasticity of the ocular dominance system through competitive interactions between pathways serving the two eyes strongly suggest the involvement of neurotrophins and their high affinity receptors. In the cat, […]

Circuit-motivated generalized affine models characterize stimulus-dependent visual cortical shared variability

Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Ji Xia, Anna Jasper, Adam Kohn and Kenneth D Miller | Summary: Correlated variability in the visual cortex is modulated by stimulus properties. The stimulus dependence of correlated variability impacts stimulus coding and is indicative of circuit structure. An affine model combining a factor proportional to mean stimulus response […]

Lysosomal TBK1 Responds to Amino Acid Availability to Relieve Rab7-Dependent mTORC1 Inhibition

Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Gabriel Talaia, Amanda Bentley-DeSousa and Shawn Ferguson | Summary: Lysosomes play a pivotal role in coordinating macromolecule degradation and regulating cell growth and metabolism. Despite substantial progress in identifying lysosomal signaling proteins, understanding the pathways that synchronize lysosome functions with changing cellular demands remains incomplete. This study uncovers a […]
