    Gasotransmitter modulation of hypoglossal motoneuron activity

    Brigitte M Browe, Ying-Jie Peng ... Alfredo J Garcia III
    Electrophysiological analyses reveal interactions between gasotransmitter enzymes and their respective products that regulate hypoglossal motoneuron excitability and may drive changes in upper airway tone in obstructive sleep apnea and perturb behaviors such as vocalization and swallowing.

    CAPS-1 promotes fusion competence of stationary dense-core vesicles in presynaptic terminals of mammalian neurons

    Margherita Farina, Rhea van de Bospoort ... Ruud F Toonen
    Stationary dense-core vesicles depend on the CAPS-1 protein to fuse with the presynaptic membrane.

    A statistical framework to assess cross-frequency coupling while accounting for confounding analysis effects

    Jessica K Nadalin, Louis-Emmanuel Martinet ... Mark A Kramer
    A new measure for cross-frequency coupling assesses phase-amplitude coupling and amplitude-amplitude coupling, and accounts for confounding factors such as low-frequency amplitude fluctuations, using a flexible statistical modeling approach.

    Whole genome phylogenies reflect the distributions of recombination rates for many bacterial species

    Thomas Sakoparnig, Chris Field, Erik van Nimwegen
    For many bacterial species, recombination dominates genome evolution and phylogenetic patterns that have so far been assumed to reflect clonal relationships, in fact reflect variation in recombination rates across lineages.

    Acetylation of BMAL1 by TIP60 controls BRD4-P-TEFb recruitment to circadian promoters

    Nikolai Petkau, Harun Budak ... Gregor Eichele
    Acetylation of the circadian transcription factor BMAL1 by the acetyltransferase TIP60 is crucial for recruitment of the pause release factors to clock gene promoters and productive elongation of these genes.

    A single-cell transcriptomic and anatomic atlas of mouse dorsal raphe Pet1 neurons

    Benjamin W Okaty, Nikita Sturrock ... Susan M Dymecki
    Dorsal raphe Pet1 neurons are molecularly heterogeneous, comprising as many as fourteen distinct subtypes that show biased cell body distributions across dorsal raphe subdomains.

    Learning recurrent dynamics in spiking networks

    Christopher M Kim, Carson C Chow
    Modifying the recurrent connectivity of spiking networks provides sufficient flexibility to generate arbitrarily complex recurrent dynamics, suggesting that individual neurons in a recurrent network have the capability to support near universal dynamics.

    GABA neurons in the ventral tegmental area regulate non-rapid eye movement sleep in mice

    Srikanta Chowdhury, Takanori Matsubara ... Akihiro Yamanaka
    Functional identification of GABAergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area as a important neuronal subpopulation regulating non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in mice.

    Slo2 potassium channel function depends on RNA editing-regulated expression of a SCYL1 protein

    Long-Gang Niu, Ping Liu ... Bojun Chen
    The pseudokinase protein SCYL1 is an evolutionarily conserved enhancer of Slo2 potassium channel activity.

    Resolving the prevalence of somatic transposition in Drosophila

    Christoph D Treiber, Scott Waddell
    Current genome sequencing methods cannot reliably detect somatic transposition in Drosophila.
