Dopamine signaling regulates predator-driven behavioral changes in Caenorhabditis elegans

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Amy Pribadi, Kaila Rosales, Kirthi C Reddy and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Abstract Prey respond to predators by altering their behavior to optimize their own fitness and survival. We probe the interactions between Caenorhabditis elegans and its naturally cohabiting predator Pristionchus uniformis to reveal the pathways driving changes […]

Oscillations and aperiodic activity: Evidence for dynamic changes in both during memory encoding

Kavli Affiliate: Bradley Voytek | Authors: Michael Preston, Natalie Schaworonkow and Bradley Voytek | Summary: Abstract Electrical recordings of human brain activity via electroencephalography (EEG) show prominent, rhythmic voltage fluctuations. These periodic oscillations have been linked to nearly every cognitive and perceptual process, as well numerous disease states. Recent methodological and theoretical advances, however, have […]

Mitf is a Schwann Cell Sensor of Axonal Integrity that Drives Nerve Repair

Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pfaff | Authors: Lydia Daboussi, Giancarlo Costaguta, Miriam Gullo, Veronica Pessino, Brendan O’Leary, Karen Lettieri, Shawn Driscoll and Samuel L. Pfaff | Summary: Abstract Schwann cells respond to acute axon damage by transiently transdifferentiating into specialized repair cells that restore sensorimotor function. However, the molecular systems controlling repair cell formation and function […]

Neuronal activity-related transcription is blunted in immature compared to mature dentate granule cells

Kavli Affiliate: Fred Gage | Authors: Sarah L Parylak, Fan Qiu, Sara B Linker, Iryna S Gallina, Christina K Lim, David Preciado, Aidan H McDonald and Fred H Gage | Summary: Abstract Immature dentate granule cells (DGCs) generated in the hippocampus during adulthood are believed to play a unique role in dentate gyrus function. Although […]

Cortico-cortical and hippocampo-cortical co-rippling are facilitated by thalamo-cortical spindles and upstates, but not by thalamic ripples

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Halgren | Authors: Charles W Dickey, Ilya A Verzhbinsky, Sophie Kajfez, Burke Q Rosen, Sandipan Pati and Eric Halgren | Summary: Abstract The co-occurrence of brief ~90 Hz oscillations (co-ripples) may be important in integrating information across the cortex and hippocampus, essential for sleep consolidation, and cognition in general. However, how such […]
