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 ...
The Vertebrate Mitotic Checkpoint Protein BUBR1 Is an Unusual Pseudokinase. Chromosomal stability is safeguarded by a mitotic checkpoint, of which BUB1 and Mad3/BUBR1 are core components. These paral...

Video Highlight: Authors, Delfien Syx and Fransiska Malfait on their published paper in Human Mutation entitled "Genetic Heterogeneity and Clinical Variabili......
Not miRly a Knockout - Drs. Wang and Olson discuss their work on miR-129, as well as the general idea that gene loci encoding both a protein and an intronic microRNA commonly share regulated expressio...
Birth Defects in Offspring of Women with Pre-Gestational Diabetes
Birth Defects in Offspring of Women with Pre-Gestational Diabetes - Mary Loeken speaks about “Molecular mechanisms responsible for birth defects in the offspring of women with pre-gestational diabetes...
Science teachers often struggle to engage young students when their classroom experiences are limited to pre-prepared biological samples viewed through standard microscopes. Mr. Saber Khan, a middle s...
Hierarchical Prediction Errors in Sensory Learning
Prediction errors (PEs) are crucial teaching signals for learning. Here, we show that different precision-weighted PEs map onto distinct neurotransmitter systems: the dopaminergic midbrain signals pre...
