Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Erin Mckenzie Wall and Sarah Cushing Woolley | Summary: Communication governs the formation and maintenance of social relationships. The interpretation of communication signals depends not only on the signal’s content, but also on a receiver’s individual experience. Experiences throughout life may interact to affect behavioral plasticity, such that a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: William Randall Arnold, David Julius and Yifan Cheng | Summary: Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a tetrameric cation channel expressed in primary afferent neurons, where it contributes to thermosensation and nociception. TRPV1 is a polymodal signal integrator that responds not only to heat, but also to inflammatory […]
