Selective targeting of the dendrites of corticothalamic cells by thalamic afferents in area 17 of the cat.

2 Nov 2009 Pyramidal cells of layer 6 in cat visual cortex are the source of the corticothalamic projection, and their recurrent collaterals provide substantially more excitatory synapses in layer 4 than does the thalamic input. They have predominantly simple ... Read more...

Temperature entrainment of Drosophila's circadian clock involves the gene nocte and signaling from peripheral sensory tissues to the brain.

27 Oct 2009 Circadian clocks are synchronized by the natural day/night and temperature cycles. Our previous work demonstrated that synchronization by temperature is a tissue autonomous process, similar to synchronization by light. We show here that this is ... Read more...

Exaggerated response of a vasopressin-enhanced green fluorescent protein transgene to nociceptive stimulation in the rat.

19 Oct 2009 Nociceptive stimulation elicits neuroendocrine responses such as arginine vasopressin (AVP) release as well as activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. We have generated novel transgenic rats expressing an AVP-enhanced green fluorescent ... Read more...
