Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.Abstract The addition of a lateral extra‐articular reinforcement to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has been shown to enhance rotational stability and protect the intra‐articular graft. Although several techniques using the iliotibial band have been described, most rely on fixation devices that increase surgical cost and complexity.

Brain-wide map of efferent projections from rat barrel cortex
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2014 The somatotopically organized whisker barrel field of the rat primary somatosensory (S1) cortex is a commonly used model system for anatomical and physiological investigations of sensory processing.

Epilepsy surgery: From bench to the clinics
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Recent advances in epilepsy surgery in patients with intractable epilepsy make it possible to study the mechanism of epilepsy in human brains. However, the true extent and propagation of each epileptogenic area from the epileptogenic focus in each patient is still difficult to perform “epilepsy cure” by surgery.

Effect of Associative Learning on Memory Spine Formation in Mouse Barrel Cortex
Neural Plasticity, 2016 Associative fear learning, in which stimulation of whiskers is paired with mild electric shock to the tail, modifies the barrel cortex, the functional representation of sensory receptors involved in the conditioning, by inducing formation of new ...

Molecular Brain, 2012 Background Nerve cells program the brain codes to manage well-organized cognitions and behaviors. It remains unclear how a population of neurons and astrocytes work coordinately to encode their spatial and temporal activity patterns in response to ...

Sperm Head–Tail Coupling Apparatus Diversity and Common Themes Among Species
Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background A stable connection between the sperm head (containing the nucleus and acrosome) and tail (containing the axoneme, mitochondrial sheath, and periaxonemal structures) is critical for fertility. This connection is mediated by a series of nuclear, cytoplasmic, and centriole components that make up the head–tail coupling apparatus (HTCA)

Tapered whiskers are required for active tactile sensation
eLife, 2013 Many mammals forage and burrow in dark constrained spaces. Touch through facial whiskers is important during these activities, but the close quarters makes whisker deployment challenging.

High Stimulus-Related Information in Barrel Cortex Inhibitory Interneurons. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 The manner in which populations of inhibitory (INH) and excitatory (EXC) neocortical neurons collectively encode stimulus-related information is a fundamental, yet still unresolved question.

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Volume Conduction Coupling of Whisker-Evoked Cortical LFP in the Mouse Olfactory Bulb
Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: Local field potentials (LFPs) are an important measure of brain activity and have been used to address various mechanistic and behavioral questions.
