Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Catalina Valdivia, Justin A. Newton, Sean O’Donnell, Christoph von Beeren, Daniel J. C Kronauer, Jacob A Russell and Piotr Lukasik | Summary: Abstract The transmission of microbial symbionts across individuals and generations can be critical for animal development and survival. Likewise, the transmission of microbes across closely interacting species […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joerg Bewersdorf | Authors: Ons M’Saad, Michael Shribak and Joerg Bewersdorf | Summary: Abstract The spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity of the human eye is limited, restricting our ability to directly see subcellular structures. We report a new principle for unaided eye cellular visualization in a method we call Unclearing Microscopy. By expanding […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Ji Liu, Kate Maximov and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Abstract Many animal training paradigms rely on head-fixation. Head-fixation training is typically laborious and can benefit from automation to relieve the workload as well as to reduce the variability in the training outcome. Several groups have reported successful implementations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vy Thuy Nguyen | Authors: Tino Pleiner, Masami Hazu, Giovani Pinton Tomaleri, Vy N. Nguyen, Kurt Januszyk and Rebecca M. Voorhees | Summary: SUMMARY Tail anchored proteins (TAs) play essential roles at both the ER and mitochondria, and their accurate localization is critical to proteostasis. Biophysical similarities lead to mistargeting of mitochondrial TAs […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bente Jacobsen, Menno Witter, Eirik Nilssen | Authors: Eirik S. Nilssen, Bente Jacobsen, Thanh P. Doan, Paulo J.B. Girao and Menno P. Witter | Summary: ABSTRACT Functionally distinct information encoded by the two main divisions of the entorhinal cortex (EC), the lateral EC (LEC) and the medial EC (MEC), is thought to be […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Courtney Glavis-Bloom, Casey R Vanderlip, Sammy Weiser Novak, Masaaki Kuwajima, Lyndsey Kirk, Uri Manor, Kristen M Harris and John H Reynolds | Summary: ABSTRACT Working memory relies critically on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). Morphology and function of the dlPFC, and corresponding working memory performance, are affected early in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carey Priebe, Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Benjamin D. Pedigo, Mike Powell, Eric W. Bridgeford, Michael Winding, Carey E. Priebe and Joshua T. Vogelstein | Summary: Abstract Comparing connectomes can help explain how neural connectivity is related to genetics, disease, development, learning, and behavior. However, making statistical inferences about the significance and nature of […]
Kavli Affiliate: William Mobley | Authors: Yingli Gu, Alexander Pope, Charlene Smith-Geater, Christopher Carmona, Aaron Johnstone, Linda Shi, Xuqiao Chen, Sarai Santos, Claire C Bacon-Brenes, Thomas Shoff, Korbin M Kleczko, Judith Frydman, Leslie M Thompson, William C Mobley and Chengbiao Wu | Summary: Abstract Huntington’s disease (HD) results from a CAG repeat expansion in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nathaniel Heintz | Authors: Tatsuya C. Murakami and Nathaniel Heintz | Summary: Abstract The advent of three-dimensional histological methods has advanced studies of cellular-resolution anatomy of the brain. The use of whole-mount staining and tissue clearing has advanced systems-level identification of cells underlying brain functions in mouse models. However, application of these methods […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jose Suarez Lopez | Authors: José Luis López, Nikolaos Pappas, Sanne WM Poppeliers, Juan J. Sanchez-Gil, Arista Fourie-Fouche, Ronnie de Jonge and Bas E. Dutilh | Summary: Abstract The structure and function of the root microbial community is shaped by plant root activity, enriching specific microbial taxa and functions from the surrounding soil […]
