Development of a Charge-Resistant Embedding Media for High-Performance Serial Block Face Imaging of Cells and Tissues

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Thomas Deerinck, Steven Peltier and Mark Ellisman | Summary: Serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBEM) enables high-resolution 3D imaging of biological specimens but is often limited by specimen charging due to the use of non-conductive epoxy resins. While heavy metal staining and variable-pressure SEM can reduce charging, these methods […]

The shape of attention: How cognitive goals sculpt cortical representation of speech.

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Mounya Elhilali | Authors: Moïra-Phoebé Huet and Mounya Elhilali | Summary: Perception requires more than passive sensing—it involves prioritizing the features most relevant to ongoing cognitive goals, a process guided by selective attention. A central question is whether attention operates by enhancing all features of a selected target, or by optimizing neural encoding […]

Population-level morphological analysis of paired CO2- and odor-sensing olfactory neurons in D. melanogaster via volume electron microscopy

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Jonathan Choy, Shadi Charara, Kalyani Cauwenberghs, Quintyn McKaughan, Keun-Young Kim, Mark Ellisman and Chih-Ying Su | Summary: Dendritic morphology is a defining characteristic of neuronal subtypes. In Drosophila, heterotypic olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) expressing different receptors display diverse dendritic morphologies, but whether such diversity exists among homotypic ORNs remains […]

Spatiotemporal transcriptomic analysis during cold ischemic injury to the murine kidney reveals compartment-specific changes

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Jean Fan | Authors: Srujan Singh, Shishir Kumar Patel, Ryo Matsuura, Dee Velazquez, Zhaoli Sun, Sanjeev Noel, Hamid Rabb and Jean Fan | Summary: Kidney transplantation is the gold standard treatment strategy for end-stage renal disease. Deceased donor kidneys usually undergo cold storage until kidney transplantation, leading to cold ischemia injury that may […]

Optimized Theta Burst Stimulation with Extended Intervals Enhances Excitatory-Inhibitory Balance

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Dhakshin Ramanathan and Jyoti Mishra | Authors: Morteza Salimi, Milad Nazari, Jonathan Mishler, Jennifer Rodger, Sahar Jomehpour, Jyoti Mishra and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Summary: Varying inter-train intervals (ITIs) during theta burst stimulation (TBS) differentially modulates neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex. Short ITIs (e.g., ITI 4 s) induce strong glutamatergic excitation but […]

Sequential transcriptional gates in the thalamo-cortical circuit coordinate memory stabilization

Posted by dbos Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Priya Rajasethupathy | Authors: Andrea Terceros, Celine Chen, Yujin Harada, Tim Eilers, Millennium Gebremedhin, Richard P Koche, Pierre-Jacques Hamard, Roshan Sharma and Priya Rajasethupathy | Summary: The molecular mechanisms that enable memories to persist over long time-scales from days to weeks and months are still poorly understood. To develop insights we created a […]

Neuroticism Heterogeneity Through Item-Level Associations in Resting-State Functional Connectivity

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Masaya Misaki, Chun Chieh Fan, Wesley K Thompson, Heekyeong Park, Bohan Xu and Martin M Paulus | Summary: Neuroticism is characterized by emotional instability and increased susceptibility to stress-related disorders. While traditionally treated as a unitary construct, growing evidence suggests that neuroticism is heterogeneous in both its genetic basis […]
