摘要:How does the brain process the faces of familiar people? Neuropsychological studies have argued for an area of the temporal pole (TP) linking faces with person identities, but magnetic susceptibility artifacts in this region have hampered its study with fMRI. Using data acquisition and analysis methods optimized to overcome this artifact, we identify a familiar face response in TP, reliably observed in individual brains. This area responds strongly to visual images of familiar faces over unfam...

摘要:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multifactorial disease that affects multiple brain systems and circuits. While defined by motor symptoms caused by degeneration of brainstem dopamine neurons, debilitating non- motor abnormalities in fronto- striatal- based cognitive function are common, appear early, and are initially independent of dopamine. Young adult mice expressing the PD- associated G2019S missense mutation in Lrrk2 also exhibit deficits in fronto- striatal- based cognitive tasks. In mice a...

摘要:Standard deep learning algorithms require differentiating large nonlinear networks, a process that is slow and power-hungry. Electronic contrastive local learning networks (CLLNs) offer potentially fast, efficient, and fault-tolerant hardware for analog machine learning, but existing implementations are linear, severely limiting their capabilities. These systems differ significantly from artificial neural networks as well as the brain, so the feasibility and utility of incorporating nonlinear ...

摘要:The brain's neuroreparative capacity after injuries such as ischemic stroke is partly contained in the brain's neurogenic niches, primarily the subventricular zone (SVZ), which lies in close contact with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) produced by the choroid plexus (ChP). Despite the wide range of their proposed functions, the ChP/CSF remain among the most understudied compartments of the central nervous system (CNS). Here, we report a mouse genetic tool (the ROSA26iDTR mouse line) for noninvas...

摘要:Mineral precipitation caused by fluid mixing presents complex control and predictability challenges in a variety of natural and engineering processes, including carbon mineralization, geothermal energy, and microfluidics. Precipitation dynamics, particularly under the influence of fluid flow, remain poorly understood. Combining microfluidic experiments and three- dimensional reactive transport simulations, we demonstrate that fluid inertia controls mineral precipitation and clogging at flow in...

摘要:Solar particle events (SPEs) are short- lived bursts of high- energy particles from the solar atmosphere and are widely recognized as posing significant economic risks to modern society. Most SPEs are relatively weak and have minor impacts on the Earth's environment, but historic records contain much stronger SPEs which have the potential to alter atmospheric chemistry, impacting climate and biological life. The impacts of such strong SPEs would be far more severe when the Earth's protective g...

摘要:Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, and their capacity to generate neurons and glia plays a role in learning and memory. In addition, neurodegenerative diseases are known to be caused by a loss of neurons and glial cells, resulting in a need to better understand stem cell fate commitment processes. We previously showed that NSC fate commitment toward a neuronal or glial lineage is strongly influenced by extracellular matrix stiffness, a property of el...

摘要:Nanomaterials acquire a biomolecular corona upon introduction to biological media, leading to biological transformations such as changes in protein function, unmasking of epitopes, and protein fibrilization. Ex vivo studies to investigate the effect of nanoparticles on protein-protein interactions are typically performed in buffer and are rarely measured quantitatively in live cells. Here, we measure the differential effect of silica nanoparticles on protein association in vitro vs. in mammali...

摘要:The multinuclear nonheme iron- dependent oxidases (MNIOs) are a rapidly growing family of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized, posttranslationally modified peptide natural products (RiPPs). Recently, a secreted virulence factor from nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) was found to be expressed from an operon, which we designate the hvf operon, that also encodes an MNIO. Here, we show by M & ouml;ssbauer spectroscopy that the MNIO HvfB contains a triiron cofact...

摘要:An array of motor proteins consumes chemical energy in setting up the architectures of chromosomes. Here, we explore how the structure of ideal polymer chains is influenced by two classes of motors. The first class which we call swimming motors acts to propel the chromatin fiber through three-dimensional space. They represent a caricature of motors such as RNA polymerases. Previously, they have often been described by adding a persistent flow onto Brownian diffusion of the chain. The second cl...
