Circadian rhythms and proteomics: It's all about posttranslational modifications!

The circadian clock is a molecular endogenous timekeeping system and allows organisms to adjust their physiology and behavior to the geophysical time. Organized hierarchically, the master clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei, coordinates peripheral clocks, ...

Circadian Regulation of Cochlear Sensitivity to Noise by Circulating Glucocorticoids

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger

The cochlea possesses a robust circadian clock machinery that regulates auditory function. How the cochlear clock is influenced by the circadian system remains unknown. Here, we show that cochlear rhythms are system driven and require local Bmal1 as well a ...

Mapping and characterization of positive and negative BOLD responses to visual stimulation in multiple brain regions at 7T

Rolf Gruetter, Wietske Van der Zwaag, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Patricia Figueiredo

External stimuli and tasks often elicit negative BOLD responses in various brain regions, and growing experimental evidence supports that these phenomena are functionally meaningful. In this work, the high sensitivity available at 7T was explored to map an ...

Layer, cell-type and pathway-specific thalamocortical input to mouse somatosensory cortex

Berat Semihcan Sermet

In the mouse whisker system, sensory information is relayed to the whisker somatosensory cortex by two major thalamic nuclei, the ventral posterior medial nucleus (VPM) and the posterior medial nucleus (POM). While the cortical axonal innervation pattern o ...

Two-photon calcium imaging of neocortical projection neurons in whisker somatosensory cortex during goal-directed sensorimotor learning

Dimitra Angeliki Vavladeli

Abstract Excitatory projection neurons of the neocortex are thought to play important roles in per-ceptual and cognitive functions of the brain by directly connecting diverse cortical and subcortical areas. However, many aspects of the anatomical and func ...

Locomotion modulates specific functional cell types in the mouse visual thalamus

Michele Giugliano

The visual system is composed of diverse cell types that encode distinct aspects of the visual scene and may form separate processing channels. Here we present further evidence for that hypothesis whereby functional cell groups in the dorsal lateral genicu ...

In-vivo probabilistic atlas of human thalamic nuclei based on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Patric Hagmann, Maxime Descoteaux, Elena Najdenovska

The thalamic nuclei are involved in many neurodegenerative diseases and therefore, their identification is of key importance in numerous clinical treatments. Automated segmentation of thalamic subparts is currently achieved by exploring diffusion-weighted ...

Investigating the Role of Glutamate and GABA in the Modulation of Transthalamic Activity: A Combined fMRI-fMRS Study

Nathalie Just, Sarah Catherine Sonnay

The Excitatory-Inhibitory balance (EIB) between glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons is known to regulate the function of thalamocortical neurocircuits. The thalamus is known as an important relay for glutamatergic and GABAergic signals ascending/descending ...

Systems Chronobiology: Global Analysis of Gene Regulation in a 24-Hour Periodic World

Felix Naef, Jake Yeung, Jérôme Mermet

Mammals have evolved an internal timing system, the circadian clock, which synchronizes physiology and behavior to the daily light and dark cycles of the Earth. The master clock, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain, takes fluctuating ...
