Auditory Closed-Loop Stimulation of Sleep Slow Oscillations
Slow oscillations play a causal role in the consolidation of memory during sleep. In this video, Hong-Viet Ngo and Jan Born describe how they synchronized the presentation of auditory clicks to the br...
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 ...
How do we localize pain? Touch has an area of high spatial resolution, called a fovea, at the fingertips. In contrast, pain is considered to lack any equivalent to the tactile fovea on the fingertips....
Alpha Helix to Beta Barrel Switch Transforms Transcription Factor RfaH to Translation Factor
Alpha Helix to Beta Barrel Switch Transforms Transcription Factor RfaH to Translation Factor. Paul Rösch describes the remarkable transformation of a transcription factor into a translation factor th...
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...
Membrane Potential Dynamics and Synchrony - Computations in cortical circuits are mediated by synaptic interactions between excitatory and inhibitory neurons, but little is known about the activity of...
Andres Hidalgo and colleagues discover that the clearance of aged neutrophils from the circulation by macrophages in the bone marrow is coupled to the systemic egress of hematopoietic precursors from ...
