Defective glycosylation and ELFN1 binding of mGluR6 congenital stationary night blindness mutants

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Mustansir Pindwarawala, Faiyaz A. K. Abid, Jaeeun Lee, Michael L. Miller, Juliet S. Noppers, Andrew P. Rideout and Melina A. Agosto | Summary: Summary: Synaptic transmission from photoreceptors to ON-bipolar cells (BCs) requires the postsynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR6, located at BC dendritic tips. Binding of the neurotransmitter glutamate […]

Inhibition of Indirect Pathway Activity Causes Abnormal Decision-Making In a Mouse Model of Impulse Control Disorder in Parkinson’s Disease

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Alexandra Nelson | Authors: Xiaowen Zhuang, Julia Lemak, Sadhana Sridhar and Alexandra B Nelson | Summary: Summary: Healthy action selection relies on the coordinated activity of striatal direct and indirect pathway neurons. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), in which loss of midbrain dopamine neurons is associated with progressive motor and cognitive deficits, this coordination […]

Striatal lateral inhibition regulates action selection in a mouse model of levodopa-induced dyskinesia

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Alexandra Nelson | Authors: Emily L Twedell, Chloe J Bair-Marshall, Allison E Girasole, Lara K Scaria, Sadhana Sridhar and Alexandra B Nelson | Summary: Summary: Striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) integrate multiple external inputs to shape motor output. In addition, MSNs form local inhibitory synaptic connections with one another. The function of striatal […]

Separating the control of moving and holding still in post-stroke arm paresis

Posted by klaurent Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Alkis M. Hadjiosif, Kahori Kita, Scott T. Albert, Robert A. Scheidt, Reza Shadmehr and John W. Krakauer | Summary: Moving and holding still have been posited to be under separate control regimes for both eye and arm movements. The paretic arm after stroke is notable for abnormalities both at […]

Sex chromosome gene expression associated with vocal learning following hormonal manipulation in female zebra finches

Posted by klaurent Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Matthew Davenport, Ha Na Choe, Hiroaki Matsunami and Erich D Jarvis | Summary: Zebra finches are sexually dimorphic vocal learners. Males learn to sing by imitating mature conspecifics, but females do not. Absence of song in females is associated with atrophy and apparent repression of several vocal learning brain […]

A circuit model for transsaccadic space updating and mislocalization

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Goldberg | Authors: Xiao Wang, Sophia Tsien, Michael E. Goldberg, Mingsha Zhang and Ning Qian | Summary: We perceive a stable, continuous world despite drastic changes of retinal images across saccades. However, while persistent objects in daily life appear stable across saccades, stimuli flashed around saccades can be grossly mislocalized. We address […]
