Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Co-transmission of multiple neurotransmitters from a single neuron increases the complexity of signaling information within defined neuronal circuits. Superficial short-axon cells in the olfactory bulb release both dopamine and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), yet the specific targets of these neurotransmitters and their respective roles in olfaction have remained unknown. Here, we implement intersectional genetics in mice to selectively block GABA or dopamine release from superficial short-axon cells to identify their distinct cellular targets, impact on circuit function, and behavioral contribution of each neurotransmitter toward olfactory behaviors. We provide functional and anatomical evidence for divergent superficial short-axon cell signaling onto downstream neurons …

Genomic Loci Influence Patterns Of Structural Covariance In The Human Brain, Junhao Wen, Aristeidis Sotiras, Daniel S Marcus, Pamela Lamontagne, John C Morris, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Normal and pathologic neurobiological processes influence brain morphology in coordinated ways that give rise to patterns of structural covariance (PSC) across brain regions and individuals during brain aging and diseases. The genetic underpinnings of these patterns remain largely unknown. We apply a stochastic multivariate factorization method to a diverse population of 50,699 individuals (12 studies and 130 sites) and derive data-driven, multi-scale PSCs of regional brain size. PSCs were significantly correlated with 915 genomic loci in the discovery set, 617 of which are newly identified, and 72% were independently replicated. Key pathways influencing PSCs involve reelin signaling, apoptosis, neurogenesis, and …

Email Scanning Optimization Techniques, Suresh Gopathy, Gajendar Pandey

Defensive Publications Series

Typically, a Secure Mailbox (SM) or Secure Email Gateway (SEG) that receives emails for an organization scans emails and performs threat detection/handling for the emails (e.g., allowing or dropping emails) based on various handling policies configured for the organization. Currently, an SM/SEG completely scans all email each time an email traverses the SM/SEG (e.g., for an initial email and any subsequent replies/responses for a conversation/email thread), which can result in high usage of compute resources for an organization, potentially increasing the cost of email services, as well as increasing the latency of email delivery. In order to address such issues, …
