- 1From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThis September, the US Government Accountability Office released a report evaluating the grant awarding process at the NIH (http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d09687.pdf). The report concluded that about 18.5% of the NIH's...
- 2From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedDuring the maintenance of visuospatial information, neural activity in the frontal eye field (FEF) persists and is thought to be an important neural mechanism for visual working memory. We used functional magnetic...
- 3From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedMammalian sterile 20-like kinase-3b (Mst3b, encoded by Stk24), regulates axon outgrowth in embryonic cortical neurons in culture, but its role in vivo and in neural repair is unknown. Here we show that Mst3b mediates...
- 4From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) enriched at the presynaptic active zone have long been known to be multi-protein complexes. They consist of the large, pore-forming, [Ca.sup.2+]-conducting a, subunits...
- 5From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedWhen presented with multiple stimuli, animals generally choose to respond only to one input. The neuronal mechanisms determining such behavioral choices are poorly understood. We found that the medicinal leech had...
- 6From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe fate of cortical progenitors, which progressively generate neurons and glial cells during development, is determined by temporally and spatially regulated signaling mechanisms. We found that the transcription factor...
- 7From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedFixing My Gaze: A Scientist's Journey Into Seeing in Three Dimensions by Susan R Barry Basic Books, 2009 272 pages, hardcover, $26.00 ISBN 0465009131 Single case studies documenting striking deficits after...
- 8From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedTonic pain has been difficult to demonstrate in animals. Because relief of pain is rewarding, analgesic agents that are not rewarding in the absence of pain should become rewarding only when there is ongoing pain. We...
- 9From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedIn Alzheimer's disease, microglia cluster around [beta]-amyloid deposits, suggesting that these cells are important for amyloid plaque formation, maintenance and/or clearance. We crossed two distinct APP transgenic...
- 10From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedHow different are the neuronal circuits for a given behavior across individual animals? To address this question, we measured multiple cellular and synaptic parameters in individual preparations to see how they...
- 11From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedSynaptogenesis involves the transformation of a growth cone into synaptic boutons specialized for transmitter release. In Drosophila embryos lacking the [[alpha].sub.2][delta]-3 subunit of presynaptic, voltage-dependent...
- 12From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe nucleus basalis of the basal forebrain is an essential component of the neuromodulatory system controlling the behavioral state of an animal and it is thought to be important in regulating arousal and attention....
- 13From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedHave you ever wondered what makes the difference between the dreamy drowsy state before nodding off in your easy chair and that crisp appearance of the world when fully alert? A small structure in the basal forebrain,...
- 14From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Olig1 promotes oligodendrocyte maturation and is required for myelin repair. We characterized an Olig1-regulated G protein-coupled receptor, GPR17, whose function is to...
- 15From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedMorning and evening circadian oscillators control the bimodal activity of Drosophila in light-dark cycles. The lateral neurons evening oscillator (LN-EO) is important for promoting diurnal activity at dusk. We found...
- 16From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedWhen our actions conflict with our prior attitudes, we often change our attitudes to be more consistent with our actions. This phenomenon, known as cognitive dissonance, is considered to be one of the most influential...
- 17From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedAlthough experience-dependent structural changes have been found in adult gray matter, there is little evidence for such changes in white matter. Using diffusion imaging, we detected a localized increase in fractional...
- 18From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBehavioral transitions characterize development. Young infant rats paradoxically prefer odors that are paired with shock, but older pups learn aversions. This transition is amygdala and corticosterone dependent. Using...
- 19From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedFlexible links between sensory stimuli and behavioral responses underlie many cognitive processes. One process that contributes to flexible decision-making is categorization. Some categories are innate or overlearned,...
- 20From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 12, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe mechanisms that determine how information is allocated to specific regions and cells in the brain are important for memory capacity, storage and retrieval, but are poorly understood. We manipulated CREB in a subset...
