Morphogens provide positional information during tissue development. For this behavior to occur, morphogens must spread out and form a concentration gradient; however, their mechanism of transport remains a matter of debate. Stapornwongkul et al....
📡 NMC3.0 room 4 Keynote Event: Predicting functional organization and its impact on behavior. Join us Oct 26-30 2020 for a free neuroscience unconference. Ov...
Behaviorally-driven expression of the immediate early gene transcription factor NPAS4 changes local circuit connectivity and short-term plasticity by selectively recruiting CCK basket cell synapses to pyramidal neuron somas.
Tan et al. demonstrate that visually evoked responses of binocular neurons improve
across the critical period. This is caused by changing the cellular composition of
the binocular pool. Poorly tuned binocular neurons become monocular, while...
Professional and amateur photographers worldwide were invited to enter the sixth International Landscape Photographer of the Year competition for a chance to share in the prize pool, including
An autobiographical piece about being born with a cataract, seeing double my whole life, and why I became a neuroscientist. Formatted PDF with footnotes etc (recommended version)Download ‘Of the es…
Insights into century-old controversy about key gland's development arise from research led by the Keck School of Medicine of USC By Wayne Lewis A new USC-led study suggests a change to the developmental — and evolutionary — story of the pituitary...
Motor neuron circuits in the zebrafish spinal cord support both the rapid evasion response and the leisurely swimming response. Kishore et al. now follow the development of inhibitory interneurons as these circuits are assembled in the larva....
The most basic form of locomotion in limbed vertebrates consists of alternating activities of the flexor and extensor muscles within each limb coupled with left/right limb alternation. Although larval zebrafish are not limbed, their pectoral fin...
The free-living nematode C. elegans remains one of the most robust and flexible genetic systems for interrogating the complexities of animal biology. Targeted genetic manipulations, such as RNA interference (RNAi), CRISPR or array-based...
