Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Nidhi Nandu, Michael Miller, Yanhong Tong and Zhi-xiang Lu | Summary: Microglia-driven neuroinflammation plays an important role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Microglia activation is accompanied by the formation and chronic maintenance of TLR4 inflammarafts, defined as enlarged and cholesterol-rich lipid rafts serving as an assembly platform […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Nidhi Nandu, Michael Miller, Yanhong Tong and Zhi-xiang Lu | Summary: Cost efficient and rapid detection tools to detect mutations especially those linked to drug-resistance are important to address concerns of the rising multi-drug resistance infections. Here we integrated dual probes, namely a calibrator probe and an indicator probe, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: Geonhui Lee, Claudia Wong, Anna Cho, Junior J. West, Ashleigh J. Crawford, Gabriella C. Russo, Bishwa Ranjan Si, Jungwoo Kim, Lauren Hoffner, Cholsoon Jang, Moonjung Jung, Robert D. Leone, Konstantinos Konstantopoulos, Andrew J. Ewald, Denis Wirtz and Sangmoo Jeong | Summary: The loss of E-cadherin (E-cad), an epithelial cell […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: UnJin Lee, Cong Li, Christopher B Langer, Nicolas Svetec and Li Zhao | Summary: Spermatogenesis is a key developmental process underlying the origination of newly evolved genes. However, rapid cell type-specific transcriptomic divergence of the Drosophila germline has posed a significant technical barrier for comparative single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) studies. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kathleen Cullen | Authors: Cynthia R Steinhardt, Diana E Mitchell, Kathleen E Cullen and Gene Y Fridman | Summary: Electrical stimulation is a key tool in neuroscience, both in brain mapping studies and in many therapeutic applications such as cochlear, vestibular, and retinal neural implants. Due to safety considerations, stimulation is restricted to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Patrick W Hullett, Matthew K Leonard, Maria Luisa W Gorno-Tempini, Maria Luisa Mandelli and Edward F Chang | Summary: Models of speech perception are centered around a hierarchy in which auditory representations in the thalamus propagate to primary auditory cortex, then to the lateral temporal cortex, and finally through […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Knierim | Authors: Gorkem Secer, James J. Knierim and Noah J. Cowan | Summary: Representations of continuous variables are crucial to create internal models of the external world. A prevailing model of how the brain maintains these representations is given by continuous bump attractor networks (CBANs) in a broad range of brain […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Laura Shub, Wenjin Liu, Georgios Skiniotis, Michael J. Keiser and Michael J. Robertson | Summary: At sufficiently high resolution, x-ray crystallography and cryogenic electron microscopy are capable of resolving small spherical map features corresponding to either water or ions. Correct classification of these sites provides crucial insight for understanding […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Jingwen Li, Mikio Christian Aoi and Cory Miller | Summary: Here we tested the respective contributions of primate premotor and prefrontal cortex to support vocal behavior. We applied a model-based GLM analysis that better accounts for the inherent variance in natural, continuous behaviors to characterize the activity of neurons […]
