Tan, Luping Yin, Yuqi Tan, Jessica Ivanov, Kaja Plucinska, Anoj Ilanges, Brian R Herb, Putianqi Wang, Christin Kosse, Paul Cohen, Dayu Lin and Jeffrey M Friedman | Summary: Leptin is an adipose tissue hormone that maintains homeostatic control of adipose tissue mass by regulating the activity […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zachary Knight and Jeffrey M. Friedman | Authors: Christin Kosse, Jessica Ivanov, Zachary Knight, Kyle Pellegrino and Jeffrey Friedman | Summary: TThe brain processes an array of stimuli enabling the selection of an appropriate behavioural response but the underlying circuitry linking inputs to outputs is unknown. Here we delineate a subcortical circuit in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: George Bouras, Ghais Houtak, Ryan R Wick, Vijini Mallawaarachchi, Michael J. Roach, Bhavya Papudeshi, Louise M Judd, Anna E Sheppard, Robert A Edwards and Sarah Vreugde | Summary: Improvements in the accuracy and availability of long-read sequencing mean that complete bacterial genomes are now routinely reconstructed using hybrid (i.e. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Paul Richard Yulo, Nicolas Desprat, Monica L. Gerth, Barbara Ritzl-Rinkenberger, Andrew D Farr, Yunhao Liu, Xue-Xian Zhang, Michael Miller, Felipe Cava, Paul B. Rainey and Heather L Hendrickson | Summary: Maintenance of rod-shape in bacterial cells depends on the actin-like protein MreB. Deletion of mreB from Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiaoqin Wang | Authors: Liam Paninski and Nathaniel Sawtell | Summary: To understand the neural basis of behavior, it is essential to sensitively and accurately measure neural activity at single neuron and single spike resolution. Extracellular electrophysiology delivers this, but it has biases in the neurons it detects and it imperfectly resolves their […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiaoqin Wang | Authors: Xindong Song, Yueqi Guo, Chenggang Chen, Jong Hoon Lee and Xiaoqin Wang | Summary: Tonotopic organization of the auditory cortex has been extensively studied in many mammalian species using various methodologies and physiological preparations. Tonotopy mapping in primates, however, is more limited due to constraints such as cortical folding, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: Sang-Hun Lee, Young-Jin Kang and Bret N Smith | Summary: Parvalbumin-positive (PV+) GABAergic interneurons in the dentate gyrus provide powerful perisomatic inhibition of dentate granule cells (DGCs) to prevent overexcitation and maintain the stability of dentate gyrus circuits. Most dentate PV+ interneurons survive status epilepticus, but surviving PV+ interneuron […]
