Projection neurons in lamina III of the rat spinal cord are selectively innervated by local dynorphin-containing excitatory neurons [PDF]
, 2012 Large projection neurons in lamina III of the rat spinal cord that express the neurokinin 1 receptor are densely innervated by peptidergic primary afferent nociceptors and more sparsely by low-threshold myelinated afferents. However, we know little about

Myelination of parvalbumin interneurons shapes the function of cortical sensory inhibitory circuits
Nature Communications, 2020 Myelination optimizes conduction speed of excitatory neurons. However, whether myelination of interneurons (INs) refines cortical networks is unclear.

Learning cellular morphology with neural networks
Nature Communications, 2019 Volume electron microscopy data of brain tissue can tell us much about neural circuits, but increasingly large data sets demand automation of analysis. Here, the authors introduce cellular morphology neural networks and successfully automate a range of ...

Human interictal epileptiform discharges are bidirectional traveling waves echoing ictal discharges
eLife, 2022 Interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs), also known as interictal spikes, are large intermittent electrophysiological events observed between seizures in patients with epilepsy.

eLife, 2021 Sex differences in whole-body fat storage exist in many species. For example, Drosophila females store more fat than males. Yet, the mechanisms underlying this sex difference in fat storage remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify a key role for

Sexually dimorphic microRNA miR-190 regulates lifespan in male Drosophila
RNA Biology, 2022 microRNAs are short noncoding RNAs that buffer fluctuations in gene expression in a myriad of physiological conditions. Here, we carried out a screen to identify the role of microRNAs in the maintenance of age-dependent neuronal functions in adult ...

Scientific Validation of Human Neurosphere Assays for Developmental Neurotoxicity Evaluation
Frontiers in Toxicology, 2022 There is a call for a paradigm shift in developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) evaluation, which demands the implementation of faster, more cost-efficient, and human-relevant test systems than current in vivo guideline studies.

Intense isolectin-B4 binding in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons distinguishes c-fiber nociceptors with broad action potentials and high nav1.9 expression [PDF]
, 2006 Binding to isolectin-B4 (IB4) and expression of tyrosine kinase A (trkA) (the high-affinity NGF receptor) have been used to define two different subgroups of nociceptive small dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. We previously showed that only nociceptors
