    Defective synaptic transmission causes disease signs in a mouse model of juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

    Benedikt Grünewald, Maren D Lange ... Christian Geis
    Impaired GABAergic and glutamatergic synaptic function and loss of interneurons in the amygdala, hippocampus, and cerebellum cause characteristic disease symptoms in a mouse model juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.

    The cerebellum linearly encodes whisker position during voluntary movement

    Susu Chen, George J Augustine, Paul Chadderton
    Cerebellar Purkinje cells represent movements via bidirectional linear changes in spike rate, and activity from single cells is sufficient to reconstruct kinematic changes during bouts of free whisking.

    Forebrain deletion of the dystonia protein torsinA causes dystonic-like movements and loss of striatal cholinergic neurons

    Samuel S Pappas, Katherine Darr ... William T Dauer
    Conditional forebrain deletion of Tor1a generates a dystonia model with face, construct, and predictive validity, and demonstrates that striatal cholinergic interneurons are selectively vulnerable to loss of the dystonia protein torsinA.

    Cerebellum encodes and influences the initiation, performance, and termination of discontinuous movements in mice

    Michael A Gaffield, Britton A Sauerbrei, Jason M Christie
    The activity of cerebellar Purkinje cells both represents and participates in organizing the temporal structure of a periodically performed motor action.

    Claudin-2-dependent paracellular channels are dynamically gated

    Christopher R Weber, Guo Hua Liang ... Jerrold R Turner
    Paracellular, trans-tight junction channels, which communicate between two extracellular compartments without crossing the plasma membrane, are a new class of ion channel with unitary behaviors similar to traditional transmembrane channels.

    Fast and slow feedforward inhibitory circuits for cortical odor processing

    Norimitsu Suzuki, Malinda LS Tantirigama ... John M Bekkers
    In vivo whole-cell recordings in the piriform cortex show that two classes of layer 1 interneurons respond differently to odors, suggesting that these neurons provide kinetically distinctive types of odor-evoked feedforward inhibition.

    Myofibroblast senescence promotes arrhythmogenic remodeling in the aged infarcted rabbit heart

    Brett C Baggett, Kevin R Murphy ... Gideon Koren
    Ex vivo, in vitro, and computational modeling studies indicate a persistence of myofibroblast senescence in the infarct border zone with age which can disrupt conduction and promote arrhythmias via senescent myofibroblast-cardiomyocyte coupling.

    A physical mechanism of TANGO1-mediated bulky cargo export

    Ishier Raote, Morgan Chabanon ... Felix Campelo
    TANGO1 functions as a linactant filament to stabilize shallow COPII-coated buds, and after which membrane tension regulation, possibly mediated by TANGO1-controlled membrane fusion, facilitates bud elongation for procollagen export.

    Cdc7 activates replication checkpoint by phosphorylating the Chk1-binding domain of Claspin in human cells

    Chi-Chun Yang, Hiroyuki Kato ... Hisao Masai
    Cdc7 and CK1g1 independently and additively phosphorylate the Chk1-binding domain of claspin to activate replication checkpoint with differential contribution of each kinase in different cell types.

    AMPA receptor mediated synaptic excitation drives state-dependent bursting in Purkinje neurons of zebrafish larvae

    Mohini Sengupta, Vatsala Thirumalai
    In vivo recordings in unanesthetized zebrafish larvae show that Purkinje neurons have two stable membrane potential states and that climbing fiber inputs can toggle them to up states during motor episodes.
