Multisensory Plasticity in Mothers - How do the physiological changes associated with motherhood influence sensory processing within the mother's brain? In this study, Adi Mizrahi and colleagues find ...
Hippo Signaling Regulates Microprocessor and Links Cell-Density-Dependent miRNA Biogenesis to Cancer
Richard Gregory and colleagues reveal that the Hippo-signaling pathway and its downstream target YAP regulate miRNA biogenesis in a cell-density-dependent manner, which may be responsible for the wide...
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 ...
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 ...
Handegard et al. develop a technique based on high-frequency sonar to track fine-scale predator-prey interactions. They use this technique in the field to quantify information transfer and collective ...
Nucleosomal Elements that Control the Topography of the Barrier to Transcription
Carlos Bustamante and colleagues explain how different nucleosomal components combine together to create physical impediments to transcription that RNA Pol II must overcome in order to successfully tr...
