Spatially Addressable In Vivo Optogenetics with Multipoint-Emitting Optical Fibers
This video describes the implementation of a new optogenetic tool based on a single waveguide that, by a simple optical strategy, can selectively and dynamically illuminate multiple brain regions. F. ...
Deciphering Gene Expression Patterns - Nir Yakoby and Stas Shvartsman discuss the gene expression profiling project that led them to develop this framework for cataloguing and interpreting gene expres...
Atypical female courtship, including enhanced genital biting, characterizes a novel stock of laboratory mice. This heritable anomaly appeared together with ectopic Hoxd gene expression in the adult br...
Richard Lee, Amy Wagers, and colleagues describe their parabiosis experiments in mice, which helped unravel a role for the TGF-beta family member GDF-11 as a negative regulator of age-associated cardi...
Lung cancer metastasis driven by WNT signaling - Cancer progresses in two stages: growth of a primary tumor followed by spreading of cancer cells to other tissues in the body, a process called metasta...
Chemokine Signaling Regulates Tau Pathology - Aggregates of the hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) are a hallmark of tauopathies. In this video abstract, Bruce Lamb and coll...
Researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Yale University describe a new optical method to simultaneously record neuronal activity across all layers of the cerebral cortex -- in a beha...
Oiling the Immune System for Top Performance - Omega-3 fatty acids are a popular diet supplement, but the mechanisms underlying their beneficial properties have been mysterious. Watch and listen as Je...
