The breath shape controls intonation of mouse vocalizations

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Yackle | Authors: Alastair MacDonald and Kevin Yacklei | Summary: Intonation in speech is the control of vocal pitch to layer expressive meaning to communication, like increasing pitch to indicate a question. Also, stereotyped patterns of pitch are used to create distinct “words”, like the ten sounds in the murine lexicon. A […]

A Subcortical Feeding Circuit Linking Interoception to Jaw movement

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey M. Friedman and Zachary Knight | Authors: Christin Kosse, Jessica Ivanov, Zachary Knight, Kyle Pellegrino and Jeffrey Friedman | Summary: The brain processes an array of stimuli enabling the selection of an appropriate behavioural response but the neural pathways linking interoceptive inputs to outputs for feeding are poorly understood. Here we delineate […]

Structure and function of an intermediate GPCR-G protein complex

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Maxine Bi, Xudong Wang, Jinan Wang, JUN xu, Wenkai Sun, Victtor Ayo Adediwrua, Yinglong Miao, Yifan Cheng and Libin Ye | Summary: Despite hundreds of GPCR-Gαβγ complex structures, these snapshots uniquely capture the fully activated complex. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of the conformational transitions during GPCR activation and the […]
