Ciliary biology intersects autism and congenital heart disease

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Willsey | Authors: Nia Teerikorpi, Micaela C Lasser, Sheng Wang, Elina Kostyanovskaya, Ethel Bader, Nawei Sun, Jeanselle Dea, Tomasz J. Nowakowski, A Jeremy Willsey and Helen Willsey | Summary: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly co-occurs with congenital heart disease (CHD), but the molecular mechanisms underlying this comorbidity remain unknown. Given that children […]

Effects of ketamine on GABAergic and glutamatergic activity in the mPFC: biphasic recruitment of GABA function in antidepressant-like responses

Kavli Affiliate: Marina Picciotto | Authors: Manoela V Fogaca, Fernanda Daher and Marina Picciotto | Summary: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with disruptions in glutamatergic and GABAergic activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), leading to altered synaptic formation and function. Low doses of ketamine rapidly rescue these deficits, inducing fast and sustained antidepressant […]

Calcium phosphate nanoclusters modify periodontium remodeling and minimize orthodontic relapse

Kavli Affiliate: Tejal Desai | Authors: Darnell L Cuylear, Moyu L Fu, Justin C Chau, Bhushan Kharbikar, Galateia Kazakia, Andrew Jheon, Stefan Habelitz, Sunil D Kapila and Tejal A Desai | Summary: Orthodontic relapse is one of the most prevalent concerns of orthodontic therapy. Relapse results in patients’ teeth reverting towards their pretreatment positions, which […]

Population responses to environmental stochasticity are primarily driven by survival-reproduction trade-offs and mediated by aridity

Kavli Affiliate: Gabriel Silva | Authors: Gabriel Silva Santos, Xianyu Yang, Samuel Gascoigne, Aldo Compagnoni, Andre Dias, Shripad D Tuljapurkar, Maja Kajin and Roberto Salguero-Gomez | Summary: Forecasting responses of natural populations to increasingly stochastic environments is a major challenge in Ecology and Conservation Biology. We now know that populations can modulate how their vital […]

Anatomical and behavioral correlates of auditory perception in developmental dyslexia

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Ting Qi, Maria Luisa Mandelli, Christa L. Watson Pereira, Emma Wellman, Rian Bogley, Abigail E. Licata, Edward F. Chang, Yulia Oganian and Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini | Summary: Developmental dyslexia (DD) is typically associated with difficulties in manipulating speech sounds and, sometimes, in basic auditory processing. However, the neuroanatomical correlates […]

A disinhibitory basal forebrain to cortex projection supports sustained attention

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Callaway | Authors: Shu-Jing Li, Balazs Hangya, Unmukt Gupta, Kyle B. Fischer, James Fitzhugh Sturgill, Edward M. Callaway and Adam Kepe | Summary: Sustained attention, as an essential cognitive faculty governing selective sensory processing, exhibits remarkable temporal fluctuations. However, the underlying neural circuits and computational mechanisms driving moment-to-moment attention fluctuations remain elusive. […]
