- 2From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): K. Shen [1]; M. N. Teruel [1, 2]; J. H. Connor [3]; S. Shenolikar [3]; T. Meyer (corresponding author) [1, 2] A broad range of pharmacological, biochemical and genetic studies establish that the...
- 3From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Steven S. Lesser [1]; Donald C. Lo [1] The biological role of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) remains largely an enigma. It was first identified as a trophic factor in chick eye and nerve extracts that...
- 4From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Nelson Spruston [1] Elaborately branching dendrites allow neurons to integrate several thousand synaptic inputs and permit complex spatial interactions, which may enhance the computational power of...
- 5From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): David Ress [1]; Benjamin T. Backus [1]; David J. Heeger (corresponding author) [1] Our ability to perform visual discrimination tasks is improved when we are instructed in advance when and where to attend to...
- 6From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Michael Beierlein [1, 2]; Jay R. Gibson [1, 2]; Barry W. Connors (corresponding author) [1] In the awake neocortex, the timing of spikes is often strikingly irregular [1], and, when induced by sensory...
- 7From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Stephen H. Koslow [1] New discoveries about the nervous system are being made at an enormous rate. There are now about 50,000 to 65,000 neuroscientists worldwide, publishing their results each month in more...
- 8From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Sen Song [1]; Kenneth D. Miller [2]; L. F. Abbott (corresponding author) [1] Hebbian learning, the development of neural circuits based on correlated activity, relies on two critical mechanisms. The best...
- 9From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedMichael Gazzaniga, a prominent cognitive neuroscientist, has caused a stir in the neuroimaging community. Gazzaniga is the director of the newly established National fMRI Data Center, a public archive based at Dartmouth...
- 10From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Michael A. Dyer [1]; Constance L. Cepko (corresponding author) [1] Glial cells are found ubiquitously throughout the central nervous system (CNS), where their primary role is to maintain neuronal health....
- 11From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): C. Giovanni Galizia [1]; Randolf Menzel [1] The olfactory system has a particularly difficult task: unlike vision or sound, the number of elementary stimuli--the odors--seems to be almost infinite....
- 12From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): David Whitney (corresponding author) [1]; Patrick Cavanagh [1] The visual system integrates information from multiple sources to judge the relative positions of objects in the visual field. These sources...
- 13From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): John E. Spiro Dendritic spines--the main sites of excitatory synaptic contacts in the CNS--have been in the spotlight recently. Their curious motility has been linked to synapse formation as well as...
- 14From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Charles W. Bourque [1]; Yassar Chakfe [2] Reply Sachs and colleagues dispute our conclusion that stretch-inactivated cation channels serve as a point of molecular convergence for osmotic and peptidergic...
- 15From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): André Bergeron [1]; Daniel Guitton (corresponding author) Neurons that discharge tonically when an animal fixates a salient target are found in the parietal and frontal lobes, thalamus, subthalamic nucleus,...
- 16From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Charles G. Gross [1] For the last 50 years, the microelectrode has been one of the most powerful tools for revealing the neuronal bases of perception and cognition. Electrophysiology has identified...
- 17From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Maria Fischer [1, 2]; Stefanie Kaech [1, 2]; Uta Wagner [1]; Heike Brinkhaus [1]; Andrew Matus (corresponding author) [1] The adaptive properties of brain circuitry require that the transient events of...
- 18From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Fumiko Kawasaki [1]; Missy Hazen [1]; Richard W. Ordway (corresponding author) [1] The GTPase dynamin is involved in endocytosis in many cell types [1], as first revealed by temperature-sensitive paralytic...
- 19From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Gabriel Kreiman [1]; Christof Koch [1]; Itzhak Fried (corresponding author) [2] Visual recognition of objects is a key function of the primate brain. There is a progression in the complexity of the...
- 20From: Nature Neuroscience. (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedDendritic spines at excitatory synapses undergo rapid, actin-dependent shape changes which may contribute to plasticity in brain circuits. Here we show that actin dynamics in spines are potently inhibited by activation...
