Evidence for an Evolutionary Continuity in Social Dominance: Insights from Nonhuman Primate Tractography
The dynamics of social dominance play a significant role in regulating access to resources and influencing reproductive success and survival in nonhuman primates. These dynamics are based on aggressiv...
Motor Sequence Learning Involves Better Prediction of the Next Action and Optimization of Movement Trajectories
Learning new sequential movements is a fundamental skill for many animals. Motor sequence learning may arise from three distinct processes: (1) improved execution of individual movements independent o...
Multi-omics Analysis Reveals miR-7220-5p Alleviates N <sub>2</sub> O Addictive Behaviors via NR2B/ERK/CREB Signaling
Nitrous oxide use disorder (NUD) has recently received increasing social concern for its sharp rise among young people. However, the underlying mechanisms of NUD remain largely unexplored, which obstr...
Disruption of <i>grin2A</i> , an Epilepsy-Associated Gene, Produces Altered Spontaneous Swim Behavior in Zebrafish
N -Methyl- d -aspartate receptors (NMDARs) control synaptic plasticity and brain development in a manner determined by receptor subunit comp...
Functional Alterations in Parvalbumin-Positive Interneurons after Traumatic Brain Injury in Somatosensory Cortex of Mice
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to long-lasting cognitive deficits in the human brain, with a considerable contribution of secondary morphological and functional sequela in cortical regions dist...
Neddylation E1 Obligatory Subunit Nae1 Is Critical to Neuromuscular Junction Development and Maintenance
Rapsyn is a scaffold protein that is thought to anchor acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). We showed that it may be an E3 ligase that regulates NMJ development by neddylation....
Vocal Error Monitoring in the Primate Auditory Cortex
Sensory-motor control requires the integration and monitoring of sensory feedback resulting from our behaviors. This self-monitoring is thought to result from comparisons between predictions about the...
Activation of Dopamine D1 Receptors at the Axon Initial Segment-Like Process of Retinal AII Amacrine Cells Modulates Action Potential Firing
Dopamine is an important neuromodulator found throughout the central nervous system that can influence neural circuits involved in sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. In the retina, dopamine is r...
Identification of New Ciliary Signaling Pathways in the Brain and Insights into Neurological Disorders
Primary cilia are conserved sensory hubs essential for signaling transduction and embryonic development. Ciliary dysfunction causes a variety of developmental syndromes with neurological features and...
Synchronous Rhythmic Activity in Area V4 Can Impair Shape Detection and Neuronal Reliability
Rhythms at a population level are a defining characteristic of both normal and pathological cortical activities, but it is unclear how such rhythms interact with the activity of specific neurons to im...
