Adaptation of olfactory receptor abundances for efficient coding
, 2019 Olfactory receptor usage is highly heterogeneous, with some receptor types being orders of magnitude more abundant than others. We propose an explanation for this striking fact: the receptor distribution is tuned to maximally represent information about ...

Na(V)1.5 sodium channel window currents contribute to spontaneous firing in olfactory sensory neurons [PDF]
, 2014 Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) fire spontaneously as well as in response to odor; both forms of firing are physiologically important. We studied voltage-gated Na+ channels in OSNs to assess their role in spontaneous activity.

Infection control in the brain and the eye
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

A model of fasciculation and sorting in mixed populations of axons
, 2011 We extend a recently proposed model (Chaudhuri et al., EPL 87, 20003 (2009)) aiming to describe the formation of fascicles of axons during neural development.

Dupilumab Dampens Mucosal Type 2 Response During Acetylsalicylic Acid Challenge in N‐ERD Patients
Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.Dupilumab therapy reduced elevated type 2 cytokine responses post‐ASA provocation in N‐ERD patients, independent of ASA tolerance, and revealed novel mechanistic insights by modulating acute type 2 immunity. Transcriptomic analysis showed concurrent downregulation of lipid and peroxisome pathways during ASA challenge in N‐ERD patients after 24 weeks of

Distribution of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit mRNA in the Developing Mouse. [PDF]
, 2019 Homomeric α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are abundantly expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system (CNS and PNS, respectively), and spinal cord.

Gonadal hormones, but not sex, affect the acquisition and maintenance of a Go/No-Go odor discrimination task in mice [PDF]
, 2018 In mice, olfaction is crucial for identifying social odors (pheromones) that signal the presence of suitable mates. We used a custom-built olfactometer and a thirst-motivated olfactory discrimination Go/No-Go (GNG) task to ask whether discrimination of ...
