Ube3a is required for experience-dependent maturation of the neocortex.

8 May 2009 Experience-dependent maturation of neocortical circuits is required for normal sensory and cognitive abilities, which are distorted in neurodevelopmental disorders. We tested whether experience-dependent neocortical modifications require Ube3a, an ... Read more...

Differential roles of the fan-shaped body and the ellipsoid body in Drosophila visual pattern memory.

21 Apr 2009 The central complex is a prominent structure in the Drosophila brain. Visual learning experiments in the flight simulator, with flies with genetically altered brains, revealed that two groups of horizontal neurons in one of its substructures, the ... Read more...

Normal cone function requires the interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein.

6 Apr 2009 11-cis-retinal is the light-sensitive component in rod and cone photoreceptors, and its isomerization to all-trans retinal in the presence of light initiates the visual response. For photoreceptors to function normally, all-trans retinal must be ... Read more...
