Unsupervised pattern discovery in spatial gene expression atlas reveals mouse brain regions beyond established ontology

Kavli Affiliate: Reza Abbasi Asl | Authors: Robert Cahill, Yu Wang, Alex Lee, Hongkui Zeng, Bin Yu, Bosiljka Tasic and Reza Abbasi-Asl | Summary: The growth of large-scale spatial gene expression data requires new computational tools to extract major trends in gene expression in their native spatial context. Here, we describe an unsupervised and interpretable […]

Predicting Long and Short Duration Beta Bursts from Subthalamic Nucleus Local Field Potential Activity in Parkinson’s Disease

Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: Bahman Abdi-Sargezeh, Sepehr Shirani, Abhinav Sharma, Philip Starr, Simon Little and Ashwini Oswal | Summary: Neural activities within the beta frequency range (13-30 Hz) are not stationary, but occur in transient packets known as beta bursts. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the occurrence of beta bursts of increased […]

Single cell analysis of dup15q syndrome reveals developmental and postnatal molecular changes in autism

Kavli Affiliate: Arnold R. Kriegstein | Authors: Yonatan Perez, Dmitry Velmeshev, Li Wang, Matthew White, Clara Siebert, Jennifer Baltazar, Natalia Garcia Dutton, Shaohui Wang, Maximilian Haeussler, Stormy Chamberlain and Arnold Kriegstein | Summary: Duplication 15q (dup15q) syndrome is the most common genetic cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Due to a higher genetic and phenotypic […]

Structural basis of TRPV1 modulation by endogenous bioactive lipids

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: William Randall Arnold, Adamo S Mancino, Frank R Moss III, Adam Frost, David Julius and Yifan Cheng | Summary: TRP ion channels are modulated by phosphoinositide lipids, but the underlying structural mechanisms remain unclear. The capsaicin- and heat-activated receptor, TRPV1, has served as a model for deciphering lipid modulation, […]

Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex and Basolateral Amygdala Projections to Ventromedial Striatum Encode Active Avoidance Behavior

Kavli Affiliate: Lisa Gunaydin | Authors: Teagan E Bullock and Lisa A. Gunaydin | Summary: Active avoidance is a fundamental defensive behavior, defined as performing a voluntary action to escape a noxious stimulus. Active avoidance serves as an adaptive response to threat, ensuring safety. In individuals with anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder, avoidance behavior […]

Endogenous Opioid Signaling Regulates Proliferation of Spinal Cord Ependymal Cells

Kavli Affiliate: Xin Duan | Authors: Wendy W.S. Yue, Kouki K. Touhara, Kenichi Toma, Xin Duan and David Julius | Summary: After injury, mammalian spinal cords develop scars to seal off the damaged area and prevent further injury. However, excessive scarring can hinder neural regeneration and functional recovery (1, 2). These competing actions underscore the […]
