Astrocyte-like CEPsh glia responds to the stressful environments

Kavli Affiliate: Noelle Letoile | Authors: Evangeline Chien, Angel Jacob Garcia, RASHMI CHANDRA and Noelle L’Etoile | Summary: Abstract While astrocytes are known to be important for development and nourishment of the nervous system, the field is just beginning to explore how astrocytes respond to environmental stimuli. Using Caenorhabditis elegans and their astrocyte-equivalent, CEPsh, we […]

Human FcγRIIIa activation on splenic macrophages drives the in vivo pathogenesis of dengue disease

Kavli Affiliate: Charles Rice | Authors: Rachel Yamin, Kevin S Kao, Margaret R MacDonald, Tineke Cantaert, Charles M Rice, Jeffrey V Ravetch and Stylianos Bournazos | Summary: Abstract Although dengue virus (DENV) infection typically causes asymptomatic disease, DENV-infected patients can experience severe complications. A risk factor for symptomatic disease is pre-existing anti-DENV IgG antibodies. Cellular […]

An inhibitory plasticity mechanism for world structure inference by hippocampal replay

Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: Zhenrui Liao, Darian Hadjiabadi, Satoshi Terada, Ivan Soltesz and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Summary Memory consolidation assimilates recent experiences into long-term memory. This process requires the replay of learned sequences, though the content of these sequences remains controversial. Recent work has shown that the statistics of replay deviate from […]

A Biophysical Basis for Learning and Transmitting Sensory Predictions

Kavli Affiliate: Larry Abbott, Nathaniel Sawtell | Authors: Salomon Zev Muller, Larry F Abbott and Nathaniel B Sawtell | Summary: Abstract Homeostatic (anti-Hebbian) forms of synaptic are effective at eliminating “prediction errors” that signal the differences between predicted and actual sensory input. However, such mechanisms appear to preclude the possibility of transmitting the resulting predictions […]

Preservation of prehearing spontaneous activity enables early auditory system development in deaf mice

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles, Patrick Kanold | Authors: Calvin J Kersbergen, Travis A Babola, Patrick O Kanold and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: ABSTRACT Intrinsically generated neural activity propagates through the developing auditory system to promote maturation and refinement of sound processing circuits prior to hearing onset. This early patterned activity is induced by non-sensory […]

Palmitoylation regulates neuropilin-2 localization and function in cortical neurons and conveys specificity to semaphorin signaling via palmitoyl acyltransferases

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Kolodkin | Authors: Eleftheria Koropouli, Qiang Wang, Rebeca Mejias-Estevez, Randal Hand, Tao Wang, David D Ginty and Alex L Kolodkin | Summary: ABSTRACT Secreted semaphorin 3F (Sema3F) and semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) exhibit remarkably distinct effects on deep layer excitatory cortical pyramidal neurons; Sema3F mediates dendritic spine pruning, whereas Sema3A promotes the elaboration […]
