Mismatch Receptive Fields in Mouse Visual Cortex - Zmarz and Keller show that in V1 neurons, sensorimotor mismatch responses, like visual responses, are confined to specific regions of the visual fiel...
Uncovering Diverse Navigational Codes in Entorhinal Cortex
Uncovering Diverse Navigational Codes in Entorhinal Cortex. Cells in medial entorhinal cortex encode position, head direction, and running speed in more complex ways than previously thought. Applicati...
The non-imaging-forming visual system has important physiological roles, including entrainment of the circadian rhythm, but its development is not well understood. Here, Andrew Lumsden and colleagues ...
Smart T Cell Vaccines: CAR T Cells - by Carl June, MD
Erika Pearce and colleagues challenge previous ideas about T cell metabolism by showing that activated T cells switch from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis not to promote proliferation ...
Multitasking microRNA regulates metastasis - Understanding how a tumor switches from sustaining growth in just one part of the body to disseminating secondary tumors throughout the body, a process cal...
In this video, Drs. Christopher Cowan and Laura Smith describe how the protein that is missing in Fragile X syndrome, FMRP, normally controls behavioral and synaptic responses to cocaine exposure. Wit...
Fighting Mosquito-Borne Infections - Mosquitoes serve as vectors for a number of pathogens that cause human illness such as dengue fever and malaria. Watch and listen as Scott O'Neill and his colleag...
Gradual changes in the sensory environment can lead to abrupt changes in brain computations and perception. By sliding through light levels from starlight to daylight, we identified a neuronal circuit...
Human and Dog Brains Both Have Dedicated "Voice Areas"
The video presents the first study to compare brain function between humans and any nonprimate animal. Scientists at MTA-ELTE Comparative Ethology Research Group in Hungary found that dogs and humans ...
Zeroing in on Repetitive Behaviors. Thomas Südhof and colleagues reveal that neuroligin-3 mutations enhance repetitive behaviors similar to those seen in autism spectrum disorders by selectively affec...
