Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli | Authors: Xin Yi Ng, Yumei Wu, Youneng Lin, Sidra Mohamed Yaqoob, Lois E. Greene, Pietro De Camilli and Mian Cao | Summary: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by defective dopaminergic (DAergic) input to the striatum. Mutations in two genes encoding synaptically-enriched clathrin-uncoating factors, synaptojanin 1 (SJ1) and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Nitabach | Authors: Evripidis Gkanias, Li Yan McCurdy, Michael N Nitabach and Barbara Webb | Summary: Insects adapt their response to stimuli, such as odours, according to their pairing with positive or negative reinforcements, such as sugar or shock. Recent electrophysiological and imaging findings in Drosophila melanogaster allow detailed examination of the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Laura M Gunsalus, Michael J. Keiser and Katherine S Pollard | Summary: ABSTRACT Predictive remapping — the ability of cells in retinotopic brain areas to transiently exhibit spatio-temporal retinotopic shifts beyond the spatial extent of their classical receptive fields — has been proposed as a primary mechanism that stabilizes […]
