Kavli Affiliate: Kira Poskanzer | Authors: Kira Poskanzer, Trisha V Vaidyanathan, Vincent Tse and Esther M Lim | Summary: Astrocytes perform critical functions in the nervous system, many of which are dependent on neurotransmitter-sensing through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, whether specific astrocytic outputs follow specific GPCR activity remains unclear, and exploring this question is […]
Kavli Affiliate:Allan Basbaum | Authors: Wendy W.S. Yue, Lin Yuan, Joao M. Bráz, Allan I. Basbaum and David Julius | Summary: TRPV1, a capsaicin- and heat-sensitive ion channel, is expressed by peripheral nociceptors and has been implicated in various inflammatory and neuropathic pain conditions. Although pharmacological modulation of TRPV1 has attracted therapeutic interest, their utility […]

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: Wei Wei, Ali Mohebi and Joshua Berke | Summary: Dopamine input to striatum can encode reward prediction error, a critical signal for updating predictions of future rewards. However, it is unclear how this mechanism handles the need to make predictions, and provide feedback, over multiple time horizons: from seconds […]

Kavli Affiliate: Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Kathleen Cho, Jingcheng Shi and Vikaas Singh Sohal | Summary: Changes in patterns of activity within the medial prefrontal cortex enable rodents, non-human primates, and humans to update their behavior to adapt to changes in the environment, e.g., during cognitive tasks1–5. Within medial prefrontal cortex, inhibitory neurons expressing parvalbumin […]
