Characterization of β-Hydroxybutyrate as a Cell Autonomous Fuel for Active Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan; | Authors: Kirsten Bredvik, Charmaine Liu and Timothy A. Ryan | Summary: The ketogenic diet is an effective treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy, but the therapeutic mechanisms are poorly understood. Although ketones are able to fuel the brain, it is not known whether ketones are directly metabolized by neurons on a […]

RESPAN: an accurate, unbiased and automated pipeline for analysis of dendritic morphology and dendritic spine mapping

Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux; | Authors: Sergio B. Garcia, Alexa P. Schlotter, Daniela Pereira, Franck Polleux and Luke Hammond | Summary: Accurate and unbiased reconstructions of neuronal morphology, including quantification of dendritic spine morphology and distribution, are widely used in neuroscience but remain a major roadblock for large-scale analysis. Traditionally, spine analysis has required labor-intensive […]
