Arrestin-3 agonism at D3 dopamine receptors defines a subclass of second generation antipsychotics that promotes drug tolerance

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Selin Schamiloglu, Elinor Lewis, Anne C Hergarden, Kevin Bender and Jennifer L Whistler | Summary: ABSTRACT Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are front-line treatments for serious mental illness. Often, individual patients benefit only from some SGAs and not others. The mechanisms underlying this unpredictability in treatment efficacy remain unclear. All […]

In silico discovery of repetitive elements as key sequence determinants of 3D genome folding

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Laura M Gunsalus, Michael J. Keiser and Katherine S Pollard | Summary: Abstract Natural and experimental genetic variants can modify DNA loops and insulating boundaries to tune transcription, but it is unknown how sequence perturbations affect chromatin organization genome-wide. We developed an in silico deep-learning strategy to quantify the […]

Optogenetic control of RelA reveals effect of transcription factor dynamics on downstream gene expression

Kavli Affiliate: Hana El-Samad | Authors: Lindsey C Osimiri, Alain R Bonny, Seesha R Takagishi, Stefanie Luecke, Nina Riehs, Alexander Hoffmann and Hana El-Samad | Summary: Abstract Many transcription factors (TFs) translocate to the nucleus with varied dynamic patterns in response to different inputs. A notable example of such behavior is RelA, a subunit of […]

Production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor gates plasticity in developing visual cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Megumi Kaneko and Michael P Stryker | Summary: Abstract We have previously shown that recovery of visual responses to a deprived eye during the critical period in mouse primary visual cortex (V1) requires both export of mRNA encoding brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to the dendrites of cortical cells […]

Cortical surface electrical potentials are composed of multiple bandlimited frequency components, including high-gamma

Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard, Edward Chang | Authors: Jesse A Livezey, Ahyeon Hwang, Kseniya Usovich, Maximilian Dougherty, Edward F Chang and Kristofer E Bouchard | Summary: A common challenge in neuroscience is how to decompose noisy, multi-source signals measured in experiments into biophysically interpretable components. Analysis of cortical surface electrical potentials (CSEPs) measured using electrocorticography […]
