Multimodal sensory overload in dopamine-deficient larval zebrafish leads to paradoxical kinesia

Kavli Affiliate: Su Guo | Authors: Krishnashish Bose, Su Guo and Karnika Bhardwaj | Summary: Paradoxical kinesia—the temporary alleviation of motor deficits by powerful, urgent stimuli in Parkinson’s disease (PD)—remains poorly understood at the neural circuit level. Through chemo-genetic ablation of tyrosine hydroxylase-expressing neurons in larval zebrafish and brain-wide calcium imaging under head-fixed, tail-free conditions, […]

Photothrombotic Ischemic Thalamic Stroke in Mice Recapitulates Spontaneous Pain Features of Central Post-Stroke Pain in Humans

Kavli Affiliate: Jeanne Paz | Authors: Jeremy B Ford, Olive N Tambou, Jarret AP Weinrich, Debleena Chatterjee, Allan Basbaum and Jeanne T. Paz | Summary: Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is a highly distressing condition that develops in 50% of people who suffer a thalamic stroke, and is typically unresponsive to current clinical treatments. Hypoxic damage […]

Synaptic plasticity of prefrontal long-range inhibition regulates cognitive flexibility

Kavli Affiliate: Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Xiyu Zhu, Lara L. Hagopian, Kira E. Wallquist and Vikaas Singh Sohal | Summary: While glutamatergic synaptic plasticity is believed to be a fundamental mechanism mediating learning, the behavioral significance of plasticity at cortical GABAergic synapses remains less well understood. Furthermore, despite recent discoveries of long-range projections from neocortical […]

Single Cell Proteomics in the Developing Human Brain

Kavli Affiliate: Arnold R. Kriegstein | Authors: Tianzhi Wu, lihua jiang, Tanzila Mukhtar, Li Wang, ruiqi jian, Cheng Wang, Tiffany Trinh, Arnold Kriegstein, Michael Snyder and Jingjing Li | Summary: Proteins are the functional effectors of virtually all biological processes, and accurately measuring their abundance and dynamics is essential for understanding development and disease. Although […]

An improved model for prediction of de novo designed proteins with diverse geometries

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Benjamin Orr, Stephanie E Crilly, Deniz Akpinaroglu, Eleanor Zhu, Michael J. Keiser and Tanja Kortemme | Summary: Nature uses structural variations on protein folds to fine-tune the geometries of proteins for diverse functions, yet deep learning-based de novo protein design methods generate highly regular, idealized protein fold geometries that […]
