The involvement of actin, calcium channels and exocytosis proteins in somato-dendritic oxytocin and vasopressin release [PDF]

, 2012
Hypothalamic magnocellular neurons release vasopressin and oxytocin not only from their axon terminals into the blood, but also from their somata and dendrites into the extracellular space of the brain, and this can be regulated independently ...

Actin dynamics controlled by IqgC, a RasGAP at the crossroads between the IQGAP and fungal GAP1 families

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IqgC is a RasGAP from Dictyostelium discoideum. IqgC binds RasG via its RasGAP domain and deactivates it on macroendocytic cups, thereby suppressing the uptake of fluid and particles. IqgC has a positive effect on cell‐substratum adhesion, and its RGCt domain is required for recruitment to ventral foci.

Response of the brain to enrichment

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2001
Before 1960, the brain was considered by scientists to be immutable, subject only to genetic control. In the early sixties, however, investigators were seriously speculating that environmental influences might be capable of altering brain structure.

Golgi-independent secretory trafficking through recycling endosomes in neuronal dendrites and spines

eLife, 2017
Neurons face the challenge of regulating the abundance, distribution and repertoire of integral membrane proteins within their immense, architecturally complex dendritic arbors.

Key role for inhibins in effective T cell activation, migration and Th17 differentiation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activins/inhibins modulate immune responses. Here, we show that inhibins can be produced very early after T cell activation and can act in an autocrine way, favoring Th1 versus Th17 differentiation and CCL19/CCL21 mediated migration. Recombinant inhibin A can restore the Th1/Th17 balance, highlighting the role of inhibins as key regulators of T cell ...

Accelerated signal propagation speed in human neocortical dendrites

eLife
Human-specific cognitive abilities depend on information processing in the cerebral cortex, where the neurons are significantly larger and their processes longer and sparser compared to rodents.

The Actin/Spectrin Membrane-Associated Periodic Skeleton in Neurons

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2018
Neurons are the most asymmetric cell types, with their axons commonly extending over lengths that are thousand times longer than the diameter of the cell soma.

General features of the retinal connectome determine the computation of motion anticipation [PDF]

, 2015
Motion anticipation allows the visual system to compensate for the slow speed of phototransduction so that a moving object can be accurately located.

Designing and Delivering Effective Faculty Development With the Adult Learner in Mind

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT University faculty are busy professionals tasked with many different responsibilities. While they certainly care about student success, their expertise is generally discipline‐specific and strategies for effective and engaging teaching are developed in the classroom along the way.
