The transcription regulator Lmo3 is required for cell fate specification in the external globus pallidus

Kavli Affiliate: John Rubenstein | Authors: Shiona Biswas, C. Savio Chan, John L.R. Rubenstein and Lin Gan | Summary: The external globus pallidus (Gpe) is an essential component of the basal ganglia, a group of subcortical nuclei that are involved in control of action. Changes in the firing of GPe neurons are associated with both […]

Astrocytic Gi-GPCR activation enhances stimulus-evoked extracellular glutamate

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 […]

TRPV1 drugs alter core body temperature via central projections of primary afferent sensory neurons

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 […]

A Spectrum of Time Horizons for Dopamine Signals

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 […]
