Exploring Astrocyte Diversity in Neural Circuits. Chai, Díaz-Castro et al. briefly highlight methods used to explore astrocytes in the hippocampus and striatum. The data show that astrocytes are disti...
Ken Cadwell and colleagues demonstrate that the bacterial sensor Nod2 prevents intestinal inflammation by regulating the intestinal microbiota, particularly the expansion of Bacteroides vulgatus, a co...
Julie Blander and colleagues explain how MHC-I stored in the endosomal recycling compartment of dendritic cells is delivered to phagosomes for cross-presentation through TLR signaling-dependent mechan...
The function of hippocampal area CA2 has remained unclear for over 75 years. Watch and listen as Steve Siegelbaum and Vivien Chevaleyre take you on a persona......
Memory Enhancement by Targeting NR2B Cell Surface Regulation
Many neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, are characterized by learning and memory deficits, for which cognitive enhancement is considered a valid treatment strategy. Plattner and coll...
