Thalamocortical control of cell-type specificity drives circuits for processing whisker-related information in mouse barrel cortex.
(2023-09-28)
Excitatory spiny stellate neurons are prominently featured in the cortical circuits of sensory modalities that provide high salience and high acuity representations of the environment. These specialized neurons are considered ...
Impacts of dual active-ingredient bed nets on the behavioural responses of pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae determined by room-scale infrared video tracking.
(2023-04-23)
BACKGROUND: The success of insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs) for malaria vector control in Africa relies on the behaviour of various species of Anopheles. Previous research has described mosquito behavioural alterations ...
Targeted molecular profiling of rare olfactory sensory neurons identifies fate, wiring, and functional determinants
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2021-03-05)
Determining the molecular properties of neurons is essential to understand their development, function and evolution. Using Targeted DamID (TaDa), we characterize RNA polymerase II occupancy and chromatin accessibility in ...
Demographic History of the Human Commensal Drosophila melanogaster.
(2019-03-01)
The cohabitation of Drosophila melanogaster with humans is nearly ubiquitous. Though it has been well established that this fly species originated in sub-Saharan Africa, and only recently has spread globally, many details ...
Bumblebees socially learn behaviour too complex to innovate alone.
(2024-03)
Culture refers to behaviours that are socially learned and persist within a population over time. Increasing evidence suggests that animal culture can, like human culture, be cumulative: characterized by sequential innovations ...
Chimpanzee play sequences are structured hierarchically as games.
(2022)
Social play is ubiquitous in the development of many animal species and involves players adapting actions flexibly to their own previous actions and partner responses. Play differs from other behavioural contexts for which ...
NetFACS: Using network science to understand facial communication systems.
(2022-08)
Understanding facial signals in humans and other species is crucial for understanding the evolution, complexity, and function of the face as a communication tool. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) enables researchers ...
The eyes anticipate where objects will move based on their shape.
(2023-09-11)
Imagine staring into a clear river, starving, desperately searching for a fish to spear and cook. You see a dark shape lurking beneath the surface. It doesn't resemble any sort of fish you've encountered before - but you're ...
Digenic inheritance involving a muscle-specific protein kinase and the giant titin protein causes a skeletal muscle myopathy.
(Springer Nature, 2024-03-01)
In digenic inheritance, pathogenic variants in two genes must be inherited together to cause disease. Only very few examples of digenic inheritance have been described in the neuromuscular disease field. Here we show that ...
mTOR-regulated mitochondrial metabolism limits mycobacterium-induced cytotoxicity.
(2022-09-29)
Necrosis of macrophages in the granuloma, the hallmark immunological structure of tuberculosis, is a major pathogenic event that increases host susceptibility. Through a zebrafish forward genetic screen, we identified the ...
