Phase Transition in Disease/ Cell August 27, 2015 (Vol. 162, Issue 5)
Phase Transition in Disease/ Cell August 27, 2015 (Vol. 162, Issue 5) - In this video and the accompanying Cell paper, the Tony Hyman and Simon Alberti groups at Max Planck Institute propose an intere...
What brain processes underlie memory consolidation? Here, scientists from the MRC BNDU (University of Oxford, UK) test the hypothesis that, in the mouse hippocampus, reactivation of space-representing...
Plants Blast Pollinating Passerine Birds with Pollen Clouds
Agnes Dellinger and Florian Etl present the complex bird pollination system of the neotropical treelet Axinaea. Foraging birds activate a bellows organ, which causes the ejection of pollen clouds onto...
Developmental Cell Stumpff/Wordeman video abstract
Developmental Cell Stumpff/Wordeman - Kif18A and chromokinesins confine centromere movements via microtubule growth suppression and spatial control of kinetochore tension. ...
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 ...
Evolving Roles for Inhibitory Interneurons in Seizures
Evolving Roles for Inhibitory Interneurons in Seizures. Using a combination of optogenetics and calcium imaging, Khoshkhoo et al. show how various classes of interneurons play distinct and evolving ro...
Sortilin Link to Dementia Pathophysiology - Mutation of the gene for PGRN causes Fronto-Temporal Lobar Degeneration but the mechanistic link between reduced PRGN levels and neurodegeneration is unknow...
Central Control of Insect Locomotion - Insect locomotion, for example walking, depends on stereotypical movements that are generated locally by neural circuits - but, as John Bender and Roy Ritzmann e...
Translaminar Inhibitory Cells Recruited by Layer 6 Cortico-Thalamic Neurons
This Neuron video abstract describes a cortical pathway by which layer 6 cortico-thalamic neurons suppress cortical responses to visual stimuli. These neurons recruit fast-spiking inhibitory cells in ...
Michael Halassa and colleagues describe how brain circuits can shift between processing information from two distinct sources: external stimuli and internally generated constructs....
PLANTS Challenges of modifying root traits in crops for agriculture
PLANTS Challenges of modifying root traits in crops for agriculture - Created by Daniel P. Schachtman and colleagues (University of Nebraska Lincoln, USA). Read the related review article in Trends in...
