Ashlee Tietje, a PhD student in biological sciences at Clemson University, describes her research as part of the 3-Minute Thesis competition at Clemson. The title of her presentation is "MULT1E/m...
Pericyte Control of Neurovascular Function - Pericytes are known to play a key role in the development of cerebral microcirculation but their function in the adult brain and during aging is not clear....
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...
Potentiation in Motor Learning - Traditionally, long-term depression at the parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse has been considered to be the process underlying cerebellar motor learning. In this ...
Variance as a Signature of Neural Computations - Can the variability of neural responses provide insight into mechanisms of decision making? Anne Churchland and co-authors have developed a technique t...
Inside cells, communication between the nucleus, which harbors our precious genetic material, and the cytoplasm is mediated by the constant exchange of thousands of signaling molecules and proteins. U...
Endogenous Nuclear RNAi Mediates Behavioral Adaptation to Odor
Noelle L'Etoile and colleagues describe an endogenous RNAi pathway that acts in neurons via a nuclear Argonaute and a heterochromatin protein to enable odor adaptation in C. elegans....
HGP10 Symposium: Biological and Therapeutic Insights from the Cancer Genome - Levi Garraway
Martin Hetzer and colleagues explain how nuclear envelope collapse causes micronuclei breakdown and drives impaired chromosome function. They propose that disrupted microuclei may serve as biomarkers ...
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 ...
