Actively engaging students in lecture has been shown to increase learning gains. To create
time for active learning without displacing content we used two strategies for introducing …

Post‐mortem human brain tissue represents a vast potential source of neural progenitor cells
for use in basic research as well as therapeutic applications. Here we describe five human …

The thalamocortical projection to rodent somatosensory (“barrell”) cortex is highly ordered
in both the radial and the tangential dimensions. During a brief period of postnatal …

The ventral lateral neurons (LNvs) of adult Drosophila brain express oscillating clock proteins
and regulate circadian behavior. Whole cell current-clamp recordings of large LNvs in …

The goal of this study was to determine if laptop use in lecture negatively impacts learning
outcomes of surrounding students taking notes on paper. Two sections of a large introductory …

Behavioral and genetic studies in Drosophila have contributed to our understanding of
molecular mechanisms that underlie the complex processes of learning and memory. Use of this …

Somatosensory thalamus and cortex in rodents contain topological representations of the
facial whisker pad. The thalamic representation of a single whisker (“barreloid”) is presumed to …

Agrin, through its interaction with the receptor tyrosine kinase MuSK, mediates accumulation
of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) at the developing neuromuscular junction. Agrin has also …

Difficulty in recording from single neurons in vivohas precluded functional analyses of
transmission at central synapses in Drosophila, where the neurotransmitters and receptors …

Previous studies have described maturational changes in GABAergic inhibitory synaptic
transmission in the rodent somatosensory cortex during the early postnatal period. To determine …
