Comment on ‘Accumbens cholinergic interneurons dynamically promote dopamine release and enable motivation’

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: James Taniguchi, Riccardo Melani, Lynne Chantranupong, Michelle J Wen, Ali Mohebi, Joshua D Berke, Bernardo L Sabatini and Nicolas X Tritsch | Summary: Acetylcholine is widely believed to modulate the release of dopamine in the striatum of mammals. Experiments in brain slices clearly show that synchronous activation of striatal […]

Neurotrophin NT-4/5 Promotes Structural Changes in Neurons of the Developing Visual Cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Antonella Antonini, Sheri L Harris and Michael P Stryker | Summary: Current hypotheses on the mechanisms underlying the development and plasticity of the ocular dominance system through competitive interactions between pathways serving the two eyes strongly suggest the involvement of neurotrophins and their high affinity receptors. In the cat, […]

Predicting stop codon reassignment improves functional annotation of bacteriophages

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Ryan Cook, Andrea Telatin, George Bouras, Antonio Pedro Camargo, Martin Larralde, Robert A Edwards and Evelien M Adriaenssens | Summary: The majority of bacteriophage diversity remains uncharacterised, and new intriguing mechanisms of their biology are being continually described. Members of some phage lineages, such as the Crassvirales, repurpose stop […]

A Photoactivatable Norepinephrine for Probing Adrenergic Neural Circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Kira Poskanzer | Authors: Michelle K. Cahill, Yeraldith Rojas Perez, Amara Larpthaveesarp, Roberto Etchenique and Kira E Poskanzer | Summary: Norepinephrine (NE) is a critical neuromodulator that mediates a wide range of behavior and neurophysiology, including attention, arousal, plasticity, and memory consolidation. A major source of NE is the brainstem nucleus the locus […]

Context-invariant socioemotional encoding by prefrontal ensembles

Kavli Affiliate: Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Nicholas A Frost, Kevin C Donohue and Vikaas Sohal | Summary: The prefrontal cortex plays a key role in social interactions, anxiety-related avoidance, and flexible context- dependent behaviors, raising the question: how do prefrontal neurons represent socioemotional information across different environments? Are contextual and socioemotional representations segregated or intermixed, […]
