Semaphorin7A patterns neural circuitry in the lateral line of the zebrafish

Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Agnik Dasgupta, Caleb C. Reagor, Sang Peter Paik, Lauren M Snow, Adrian Jacobo and Albert Hudspeth | Summary: In a developing nervous system, axonal arbors often undergo complex rearrangements before neural circuits attain their final innervation topology. In the lateral line sensory system of the zebrafish, developing sensory […]

Histone bivalency regulates the timing of cerebellar granule cell development

Kavli Affiliate: Mary E. Hatten, C. David Allis | Authors: Kärt Mätlik, Eve-Ellen Govek, Matthew R. Paul, C. David Allis and Mary E. Hatten | Summary: Abstract Developing neurons undergo a progression of morphological and gene expression changes as they transition from neuronal progenitors to mature, multipolar neurons. Here we use RNA-seq and H3K4me3 and […]

Isolation and Lipidomic Profiling of Neuronal Lipid Droplets: Unveiling the Lipid Landscape for insights into Neurodegenerative Disorders

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan | Authors: Mukesh Kumar, Justin Knapp, Kallol Gupta and Timothy A Ryan | Summary: Recent advances have expanded the role of lipid droplets (LDs) beyond passive lipid storage, implicating their involvement in various metabolic processes across mammalian tissues. Neuronal LDs, long debated in existence, have been identified in several neural […]

The alarm pheromone and alarm response of the clonal raider ant

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Lindsey E. Lopes, Erik T. Frank, Zsolt Kárpáti, Thomas Schmitt and Daniel J.C. Kronauer | Summary: Abstract Ants communicate via an arsenal of different pheromones produced in a variety of exocrine glands. For example, ants release alarm pheromones in response to danger to alert their nestmates and to trigger […]

Multiplexed and scalable cellular phenotyping toward the standardized three-dimensional human neuroanatomy

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 […]
