The mouse vomeronasal organ (VNO) is thought to mediate social behaviors and neuroendocrine
changes elicited by pheromonal cues. The molecular mechanisms underlying the …

Previously it was shown that male mice, when they encounter female mice or their pheromones,
emit ultrasonic vocalizations with frequencies ranging over 30–110 kHz. Here, we show …

In 2001, a point mutation in the forkhead box P2 (FOXP2) coding sequence was identified as
the basis of an inherited speech and language disorder suffered by members of the family …

Unraveling the functions of the diverse neural types in any local circuit ultimately requires
methods to record from most or all of its cells simultaneously. One promising approach to this …

During the formation of the mitotic spindle, dynamic microtubules search for chromosomes
in the surrounding cytosol. The average time required to reach such "targets" is calculated …

The vomeronasal organ (VNO) of mammals plays an essential role in the detection of
pheromones. We obtained simultaneous recordings of action potentials from large subsets of VNO …

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) mediate numerous nonvisual
phenomena, including entrainment of the circadian clock to light-dark cycles, pupillary light …

Major computational challenges exist in relation to the collection, curation, processing and
analysis of large genomic and imaging datasets, as well as the simulation of larger and more …

Intracellular organization depends on a variety of molecular assembly processes; while some
of these have been studied in simplified cell-free systems, others depend on the confined …

Among mice, pheromones and other social odor cues convey information about sex, social
status, and identity; however, the molecular nature of these cues is essentially unknown. To …
