Sensory Responses in the Dopamine-Depleted Striatum
Sensory Responses in the Dopamine-Depleted Striatum. Ketzef et al. show that striatal sensory responses are altered in Parkinsonian mice. Specifically, the encoding of bilateral tactile inputs is impa...
Vesicular Glycolysis Provides On-Board Energy for Fast Axonal Transport
Frédéric Saudou and colleagues explain why the glycolytic enzymes GAPDH and PGK are present on axonal vesicles: to provide a steady energy source that supplies the ATP necessary for fast axonal transp...
Spatial Attention Attracts Receptive Fields Throughout the Human Visual Brain
Spatial Attention Attracts Receptive Fields Throughout the Human Visual Brain. We use attention to focus on relevant visual INFORMATION. Using human neuroimaging and modeling, Klein et al demonstrate ...
