Spontaneous formation of chaotic protrusions in a polymerizing active gel layer [PDF]
, 2019 The actin cortex is a thin layer of actin filaments and myosin motors beneath the outer membrane of animal cells. It determines the cells' mechanical properties and forms important morphological structures. Physical descriptions of the cortex as a contractile active gel suggest that these structures can result from dynamic instabilities.

A multi-modal parcellation of human cerebral cortex
Nature, 2016 Understanding the amazingly complex human cerebral cortex requires a map (or parcellation) of its major subdivisions, known as cortical areas. Making an accurate areal map has been a century-old objective in neuroscience.

Conserved cell types with divergent features in human versus mouse cortex
Nature, 2019 Elucidating the cellular architecture of the human cerebral cortex is central to understanding our cognitive abilities and susceptibility to disease. Here we used single-nucleus RNA-sequencing analysis to perform a comprehensive study of cell types in ...

Development of visual response selectivity in cortical GABAergic interneurons
Nature Communications, 2022 Excitatory neurons in the carnivore and primate visual cortex display orientation selectivity arranged in a modular fashion before the onset of visual experience, but the developmental timeline for visual response selectivity of inhibitory neurons is ...

“Vitamin D Deficiency Is More Common in Women with Autoimmune Thyroiditis: A Retrospective Study”
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2021 Background. Vitamin D is a hormone that is mainly produced in the skin upon ultraviolet B radiation exposure and has important influence on various organs. In recent years, data have been collected that vitamin D deficiency plays an important role in the

Point-light biological motion perception activates human premotor cortex [PDF]
, 2004 Motion cues can be surprisingly powerful in defining objects and events. Specifically, a handful of point-lights attached to the joints of a human actor will evoke a vivid percept of action when the body is in motion.
