Role Of Guanylyl Cyclase Modulation In Mouse Cone Phototransduction, Keisuke Sakurai, Jeannie Chen, Vladimir J. Kefalov Jun 2011

Role Of Guanylyl Cyclase Modulation In Mouse Cone Phototransduction, Keisuke Sakurai, Jeannie Chen, Vladimir J. Kefalov

Open Access Publications

A negative phototransduction feedback in rods and cones is critical for the timely termination of their light responses and for extending their function to a wide range of light intensities. The calcium feedback mechanisms that modulate phototransduction in rods have been studied extensively. However, the corresponding modulation mechanisms that enable cones to terminate rapidly their light responses and to adapt in bright light, properties critical for our daytime vision, are still not understood. In cones, calcium feedback to guanylyl cyclase is potentially a key step in phototransduction modulation. The guanylyl cyclase activity is modulated by the calcium-binding guanylyl cyclase activating …

Long-Term Calorie Restriction, But Not Endurance Exercise, Lowers Core Body Temperature In Humans, Andreea Soare, Roberto Cangemi, Daniela Omodei, John O. Holloszy, Luigi Fontana Apr 2011

Long-Term Calorie Restriction, But Not Endurance Exercise, Lowers Core Body Temperature In Humans, Andreea Soare, Roberto Cangemi, Daniela Omodei, John O. Holloszy, Luigi Fontana

Open Access Publications

Reduction of body temperature has been proposed to contribute to the increased lifespan in calorie restricted animals and mice overexpressing the uncoupling protein-2 in hypocretin neurons. However, nothing is known regarding the long-term effects of calorie restriction (CR) with adequate nutrition on body temperature in humans. In this study, 24-hour core body temperature was measured every minute by using ingested telemetric capsules in 24 men and women (mean age 53.7 ± 9.4 yrs) consuming a CR diet for an average of 6 years, 24 age- and sex-matched sedentary (WD) and 24 body fat-matched exercise-trained (EX) volunteers, who were eating Western …


Episodic Memory Retrieval, Parietal Cortex, And The Default Mode Network: Functional And Topographic Analyses, Carlo Sestieri, Maurizio Corbetta, Gian Luca Romani, Gordon L. Shulman Mar 2011

Episodic Memory Retrieval, Parietal Cortex, And The Default Mode Network: Functional And Topographic Analyses, Carlo Sestieri, Maurizio Corbetta, Gian Luca Romani, Gordon L. Shulman

Open Access Publications

The default mode network (DMN) is often considered a functionally homogeneous system that is broadly associated with internally directed cognition (e.g., episodic memory, theory of mind, self-evaluation). However, few studies have examined how this network interacts with other networks during putative "default" processes such as episodic memory retrieval. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we investigated the topography and response profile of human parietal regions inside and outside the DMN, independently defined using task-evoked deactivations and resting-state functional connectivity, during episodic memory retrieval. Memory retrieval activated posterior nodes of the DMN, particularly the angular gyrus, but also more anterior and dorsal …


The Cytoplasmic Adaptor Protein Caskin Mediates Lar Signal Transduction During Drosophila Motor Axon Guidance, Yi-Lan Weng, Nan Liu, Aaron Diantonio, Heather T. Broihier Mar 2011

The Cytoplasmic Adaptor Protein Caskin Mediates Lar Signal Transduction During Drosophila Motor Axon Guidance, Yi-Lan Weng, Nan Liu, Aaron Diantonio, Heather T. Broihier

Open Access Publications

The multiprotein complexes that receive and transmit axon pathfinding cues during development are essential to circuit generation. Here, we identify and characterize the Drosophila sterile α-motif (SAM) domain-containing protein Caskin, which shares homology with vertebrate Caskin, a CASK [calcium/calmodulin-(CaM)-activated serine-threonine kinase]-interacting protein. Drosophila caskin (ckn) is necessary for embryonic motor axon pathfinding and interacts genetically and physically with the leukocyte common antigen-related (Lar) receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase. In vivo and in vitro analyses of a panel of ckn loss-of-function alleles indicate that the N-terminal SAM domain of Ckn mediates its interaction with Lar. Like Caskin, Liprin-α is a neuronal adaptor …

Open Access Publications

High-gamma-band (>60 Hz) power changes in cortical electrophysiology are a reliable indicator of focal, event-related cortical activity. Despite discoveries of oscillatory subthreshold and synchronous suprathreshold activity at the cellular level, there is an increasingly popular view that high-gamma-band amplitude changes recorded from cellular ensembles are the result of asynchronous firing activity that yields wideband and uniform power increases. Others have demonstrated independence of power changes in the low- and high-gamma bands, but to date, no studies have shown evidence of any such independence above 60 Hz. Based on nonuniformities in time-frequency analyses of electrocorticographic (ECoG) signals, we hypothesized that …

Calcium-Independent Inhibitory G-Protein Signaling Induces Persistent Presynaptic Muting Of Hippocampal Synapses, Devon C. Crawford, Chun Yun Chang, Krzysztof L. Hyrc, Steven Mennerick

Open Access Publications

Adaptive forms of synaptic plasticity that reduce excitatory synaptic transmission in response to prolonged increases in neuronal activity may prevent runaway positive feedback in neuronal circuits. In hippocampal neurons, for example, glutamatergic presynaptic terminals are selectively silenced, creating "mute" synapses, after periods of increased neuronal activity or sustained depolarization. Previous work suggests that cAMP-dependent and proteasome-dependent mechanisms participate in silencing induction by depolarization, but upstream activators are unknown. We, therefore, tested the role of calcium and G-protein signaling in silencing induction in cultured hippocampal neurons. We found that silencing induction by depolarization was not dependent on rises in intracellular calcium, …
