Transcriptional regulation in the absence of inositol trisphosphate receptor calcium signaling

Kavli Affiliate: Michael W. Young | Authors: Michael Young, David M Booth, David Smith, Marco Tigano, Gyorgy Hajnoczky and Suresh Joseph | Summary: The activation of IP3 receptor (IP3R) Ca2+ channels generates agonist-mediated Ca2+ signals that regulate a wide range of biological processes. It is therefore surprising that CRISPR induced loss of all three IP3R […]

A Subcortical Feeding Circuit Linking Interoception to Jaw movement

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey M. Friedman and Zachary Knight | Authors: Christin Kosse, Jessica Ivanov, Zachary Knight, Kyle Pellegrino and Jeffrey Friedman | Summary: The brain processes an array of stimuli enabling the selection of an appropriate behavioural response but the neural pathways linking interoceptive inputs to outputs for feeding are poorly understood. Here we delineate […]

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 […]

Neural correlates of individual facial recognition in a social wasp

Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Christopher M. Jernigan, Winrich A. Freiwald and Michael J. Sheehan | Summary: Abstract Individual recognition is critical for social behavior across species. Whether recognition is mediated by circuits specialized for social information processing has been a matter of debate. Here we examine the neurobiological underpinning of individual visual facial […]

Cellular and Molecular Basis of Leptin Resistance

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey M. Friedman | Authors: Bowen Tan, Kristina Hedbacker, Leah Kelly, Zhaoyue Zhang, Ji-Dung Luo, Joshua D. Rabinowitz and Jeffrey M. Friedman | Summary: Obese humans and diet induced obese mice (DIO) have high leptin levels and fail to respond to the exogenous hormone suggesting that obesity is caused by leptin resistance, the […]
