Chemogenetic Control of Striatal Astrocytes Improves Parkinsonian Motor Deficits in Mice
Glia, EarlyView.Dopamine depletion reduces locomotion‐induced calcium activity in dorsal striatal astrocytes. Chemogenetic activation facilitates astrocyte locomotion responses and improves motor behavior in dopamine‐lesioned animals. ABSTRACT Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic nigrostriatal inputs, which causes striatal ...

The Spitzer Local Volume Legacy (LVL) Global Optical Photometry [PDF]
, 2014 We present the global optical photometry of 246 galaxies in the Local Volume Legacy (LVL) survey. The full volume-limited sample consists of 258 nearby (D < 11 Mpc) galaxies whose absolute B-band magnitude span a range of -9.6 < M_B < -20.7 mag. A composite optical (UBVR) data set is constructed from observed UBVR and SDSS ugriz imaging, where the ...

Analytical and empirical measurement of fiber photometry signal volume in brain tissue [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Fiber photometry permits monitoring fluorescent indicators of neural activity in behaving animals. Optical fibers are typically used to excite and collect fluorescence from genetically-encoded calcium indicators expressed by a subset of neurons in a circuit of interest.

Optical identification of the LMC supersoft source RXJ0527.8-6954 from MACHO Project photometry [PDF]
, 1997 We identify the likely optical counterpart to the LMC supersoft X-ray source RXJ0527.8-6954, and hence recover HV2554. This identification is based on an analysis of approximately 4 years of optical photometry obtained serendipitously via the MACHO project.

The absolute age of the globular cluster M15 using near-infrared adaptive optics images from PISCES/LBT [PDF]
, 2015 We present deep near-infrared (NIR) J, Ks photometry of the old, metal-poor Galactic globular cluster M\,15 obtained with images collected with the LUCI1 and PISCES cameras available at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT).

Optical and Infrared Photometry of the Nearby Type Ia Supernovae 1999ee, 2000bh, 2000ca, and 2001ba [PDF]
, 2003 We present near infrared photometry of the Type Ia supernova 1999ee; also, optical and infrared photometry of the Type Ia SNe 2000bh, 2000ca, and 2001ba. For SNe 1999ee and 2000bh we present the first-ever SN photometry at 1.035 microns (the Y-band).

New Optical/UV Counterparts and the Spectral Energy Distributions of Nearby, Thermally Emitting, Isolated Neutron Stars [PDF]
, 2011 We present Hubble Space Telescope optical and ultraviolet photometry for five nearby, thermally emitting neutron stars. With these measurements, all seven such objects have confirmed optical and ultraviolet counterparts. Combining our data with archival space-based photometry, we present spectral energy distributions for all sources and measure the ...
