Silencing neuroinflammatory reactive astrocyte activating factors ameliorates disease outcomes in perinatal white matter injury

Kavli Affiliate: David Rowitch | Authors: Patricia Renz, Daniel Surbek, Valérie Haesler, Vera Tscherrig, Eric J Huang, Manideep Chavali, Shane Liddelow, David Rowitch, Andreina Schoeberlein and Amanda Brosius Lutz | Summary: The role of reactive astrocytes in perinatal white matter injury (WMI) is unclear. In a mouse model of WMI, we provide evidence that impairing […]

Neural circuit-wide analysis of gene expression during deafening-induced destabilization of birdsong

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brainard | Authors: Bradley M Colquitt, Kelly Li, Foad Green, Robert J Veline and Michael S Brainard | Summary: SUMMARY Sensory feedback is required for stable execution of learned motor skills, and its loss can severely disrupt motor performance. The neural mechanisms that mediate sensorimotor stability have been extensively studied at systems […]

Structural basis for CaVα2δ:gabapentin binding

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Minor | Authors: Daniel L Minor, Jr., Zhou Chen and Abhisek Mondal | Summary: Abstract Gabapentinoid drugs for pain and anxiety act on the CaVα2δ-1 and CaVα2δ-2 subunits of high-voltage activated calcium channels (CaV1s and CaV2s). Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of the gabapentin-bound brain and cardiac CaV1.2/CaVβ3/CaVα2δ-1 channel. The data […]

A method of inferring partially observable Markov models from syllable sequences reveals the effects of deafening on Bengalese finch song syntax

Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard | Authors: Jiali Lu, Sumithra Surendralal, Kristofer E Bouchard and Dezhe Z. Jin | Summary: Abstract Songs of the Bengalese finch consist of variable sequences of syllables. The sequences follow probabilistic rules, and can be statistically described by partially observable Markov models (POMMs), which consist of states and probabilistic transitions between […]

Circuit dissection and functional validation of a cross-species emotional biomarker

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang, Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Adam Jackson, Josh Cohen, Aarron Phensy, Edward F Chang, Heather Dawes and Vikaas Sohal | Summary: ABSTRACT Emotional responses arise from limbic circuits including the hippocampus and amygdala. In the human brain, beta-frequency communication between these structures correlates with self-reported mood and anxiety. However, both the mechanism […]
