Structural Insights into Competitive Antagonism in NMDA Receptors
Overactive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are implicated in several neurological disorders. However, mechanistic understanding of antagonism in NMDA receptors is limited due to a lack of antago...
Light, both natural and artificial, is a powerful cue for the circadian clock, the internal timing device that tells us when to wake up and go to sleep, when to eat, and when we are most mentally aler...
Love? Oxytocin, Actually. Nathaniel Heintz and colleagues describe how a population of interneurons in the brain prefrontal cortex, responding to the hormone oxytocin, regulates females’ interest for ...
V2 in Motion Perception - Motion perception is thought to be mediated by the dorsal visual pathways. In this video abstract, Anna Roe and colleagues discuss their data demonstrating that V2 is also in...

Personalized Nutrition/ Cell November 19, 2015 (Vol. 163, Issue 5) - Doctors and nutrition specialists keep telling us what foods are good and bad for our metabolism and health. But does it work for e...
A New Strategy for Treating Neuropathic Pain - Conventional methods of pain treatment have often proved ineffective in the treatment of neuropathic pain. Here, in an effort to develop a new therapeuti...
John McCutcheon and colleagues show that, in some cicada species, a three-way symbiosis involving one insect and two bacterial symbionts has resulted in a four-way assemblage through an unusual bacter...
Scattering of Cell Clusters in Confinement - Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) enables scattering of cell clusters and disseminates motile cells to distant locations in vivo during embryonic ...
Control of Cerebrovascular Networks Formation by Neural Activity
This video summarizes a study from Dr. Chenghua Gu's laboratory at Harvard Medical School, which demonstrates that sensory-related neural activity influences the formation of brain vascular networks d...
Risky Decisions: A Role for Rostrolateral PFC - How do we decide between the familiar and the unknown? David Badre, Michael Frank, and colleagues find that the pattern of neural activity in rostrolate...
