Atypical female courtship, including enhanced genital biting, characterizes a novel stock of laboratory mice. This heritable anomaly appeared together with ectopic Hoxd gene expression in the adult br...
Video Abstract: "Species Delimitation and Global Biosecurity"
In this video abstract, Dr Laura Boykin speaks about her article "Species Delimitation and Global Biosecurity", recently published in Evolutionary Bioinformatics. This is an open access arti...
Differential Hippo Signaling in Early Mouse Embryos
Differential Hippo Signaling in Early Mouse Embryos - Hiroshi Sasaki discusses his group's recent findings on the role of differential Hippo signaling in regulating cell fate during trophectoderm form...
Thalamic Mechanism of Parkinson Disease. Hyper-inhibition of thalamic neurons by the basal ganglia inputs has been proposed as a mechanism for Parkinson's disease. This study shows that rebound firing...
Neuro In Silico/ Cell, Oct. 8, 2015 (Vol. 163, Issue 2) - Henry Markram and colleagues outline the building of a detailed digital reconstruction of a brain region and the features that emerge when the...
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...
The basal ganglia are critical for movement generation and value-based decisions, but while a contribution to perceptual decisions has been suggested, strong support for this proposal is lacking. Here...
Causal Role of Theta Oscillations in Auditory Working Memory
Causal Role of Theta Oscillations in Auditory Working Memory. This study shows that driving brain oscillations with rhythmic stimulation can specifically improve auditory working memory performance an...
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 ...
Yet Another Facet to Type I Interferon: Kiss of Death to Hepatocytes
Yet Another Facet to Type I Interferon: Kiss of Death to Hepatocytes - The liver is the target of many hepatitis viruses, which affect more than 500 million people worldwide and manifest with a comple...
In this video, Ira Espuny-Camacho and Pierre Vanderhaeghen describe how human pluripotent stem cells can be turned into cortical pyramidal neurons, mimicking key aspects of human corticogenesis. Most ...
