A Subcortical Feeding Circuit Linking Interoception to Jaw movement

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey M. Friedman and Zachary Knight | Authors: Christin Kosse, Jessica Ivanov, Zachary Knight, Kyle Pellegrino and Jeffrey Friedman | Summary: The brain processes an array of stimuli enabling the selection of an appropriate behavioural response but the neural pathways linking interoceptive inputs to outputs for feeding are poorly understood. Here we delineate […]

Semaphorin7A patterns neural circuitry in the lateral line of the zebrafish

Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Agnik Dasgupta, Caleb C. Reagor, Sang Peter Paik, Lauren M Snow, Adrian Jacobo and Albert Hudspeth | Summary: In a developing nervous system, axonal arbors often undergo complex rearrangements before neural circuits attain their final innervation topology. In the lateral line sensory system of the zebrafish, developing sensory […]

Structure and function of an intermediate GPCR-G protein complex

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Maxine Bi, Xudong Wang, Jinan Wang, JUN xu, Wenkai Sun, Victtor Ayo Adediwrua, Yinglong Miao, Yifan Cheng and Libin Ye | Summary: Despite hundreds of GPCR-Gαβγ complex structures, these snapshots uniquely capture the fully activated complex. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of the conformational transitions during GPCR activation and the […]

Ectopic Reconstitution of a Spine-Apparatus Like Structure Provides Insight into Mechanisms Underlying Its Formation

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro De Camilli | Authors: Hanieh Falahati, Yumei Wu and Pietro De Camill | Summary: Abstract The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a continuous cellular endomembrane network that displays focal specializations. Most notable examples of such specializations include the spine apparatus of neuronal dendrites, and the cisternal organelle of axonal initial segments. Both organelles […]

Conservation of neuron-astrocyte coordinated activity among sensory processing centers of the developing brain

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles | Authors: Vered Kellner, Patrick Parker, Xuelong Mi, Guoqiang Yu, Gesine Saher and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: Abstract Afferent neurons in developing sensory organs exhibit a prolonged period of burst firing prior to the onset of sensory experience. This intrinsically generated activity propagates from the periphery through central processing centers […]

Neural correlates of individual facial recognition in a social wasp

Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Christopher M. Jernigan, Winrich A. Freiwald and Michael J. Sheehan | Summary: Abstract Individual recognition is critical for social behavior across species. Whether recognition is mediated by circuits specialized for social information processing has been a matter of debate. Here we examine the neurobiological underpinning of individual visual facial […]

Cellular and Molecular Basis of Leptin Resistance

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey M. Friedman | Authors: Bowen Tan, Kristina Hedbacker, Leah Kelly, Zhaoyue Zhang, Ji-Dung Luo, Joshua D. Rabinowitz and Jeffrey M. Friedman | Summary: Obese humans and diet induced obese mice (DIO) have high leptin levels and fail to respond to the exogenous hormone suggesting that obesity is caused by leptin resistance, the […]
