Evolutionary plasticity of habenular asymmetry with a conserved efferent connectivity pattern
(2012)
The vertebrate habenulae (Hb) is an evolutionary conserved dorsal diencephalic nuclear complex that relays information from limbic and striatal forebrain regions to the ventral midbrain. One key feature of this bilateral ...
TRP, TRPL and Cacophony Channels Mediate Ca2+ Influx and Exocytosis in Photoreceptors Axons in Drosophila
(2012)
In Drosophila photoreceptors Ca2+-permeable channels TRP and TRPL are the targets of phototransduction, occurring in photosensitive microvilli and mediated by a phospholipase C (PLC) pathway. Using a novel Drosophila brain ...
Endoplasmic reticulum sorting and kinesin-1 command the targeting of Axonal GABAB receptors
(2012)
In neuronal cells the intracellular trafficking machinery controls the availability of neurotransmitter receptors at the plasma membrane, which is a critical determinant of synaptic strength. Metabotropic γ amino-butyric ...
Enhanced Glutathione Content Allows the In Vivo Synthesis of Fluorescent CdTe Nanoparticles by Escherichia coli
(2012)
The vast application of fluorescent semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) or quantum dots (QDs) has prompted the development of new, cheap and safer methods that allow generating QDs with improved biocompatibility. In this ...
Timed maternal melatonin treatment reverses circadian disruption of the fetal adrenal clock imposed by exposure to constant light
(2012)
Surprisingly, in our modern 24/7 society, there is scant information on the impact of developmental chronodisruption like the one experienced by shift worker pregnant women on fetal and postnatal physiology. There are ...
Southern annular mode-like changes in southwestern Patagonia at centennial timescales over the last three millennia
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
Late twentieth-century instrumental records reveal a persistent southward shift of the Southern Westerly Winds during austral summer and autumn associated with a positive trend of the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and ...
On the Mechanism of Synaptic Depression Induced by CaMKIIN, an Endogenous Inhibitor of CaMKII
(2012)
Activity-dependent synaptic plasticity underlies, at least in part, learning and memory processes. NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) is a major synaptic plasticity model. During LTP induction, ...
Back to full interseismic plate locking decades after the giant 1960 Chile earthquake
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
© 2018, The Author(s). Great megathrust earthquakes arise from the sudden release of energy accumulated during centuries of interseismic plate convergence. The moment deficit (energy available for future earthquakes) is ...
Leukaemia Inhibitory Factor Stimulates Proliferation of Olfactory Neuronal Progenitors via Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase
(2012)
Neurogenesis continues in the adult brain and in the adult olfactory epithelium. The cytokine, leukaemia inhibitory factor and nitric oxide are both known to stimulate neuronal progenitor cell proliferation in the olfactory ...
Photochemistry of ethyl esters of α-oxo-carboxylic acids
(1990)
The photochemistry of ethyl esters of α-oxo-carboxylic acids of the type RCOCO2CH2CH3 was examined using a combination of steady state irradiation and laser flash photolysis techniques. The experimental results indicate ...
