ALERT: This system is being upgraded on Tuesday December 12. It will not be available
for use for several hours that day while the upgrade is in progress. Deposits to DukeSpace
will be disabled on Monday December 11, so no new items are to be added to the repository
while the upgrade is in progress. Everything should be back to normal by the end of
day, December 12.

Convergent differential regulation of parvalbumin in the brains of vocal learners.
(PLoS One, 2012)Spoken language and learned song are complex communication behaviors found in only a few species, including humans and three groups of distantly related birds--songbirds, parrots, and hummingbirds. Despite their ... -
Coordinated multiplexing of information about separate objects in visual cortex.
(eLife, 2022-11)Sensory receptive fields are large enough that they can contain more than one perceptible stimulus. How, then, can the brain encode information about each of the stimuli that may be present at a given moment? We recently ... -
Cortical dynamics during naturalistic sensory stimulations: experiments and models.
(Journal of physiology, Paris, 2011-01)We report the results of our experimental and theoretical investigations of the neural response dynamics in primary visual cortex (V1) during naturalistic visual stimulation. We recorded Local Field Potentials (LFPs) and ... -
Functional connectivity in the retina at the resolution of photoreceptors.
(Nature, 2010-10)To understand a neural circuit requires knowledge of its connectivity. Here we report measurements of functional connectivity between the input and ouput layers of the macaque retina at single-cell resolution and the implications ... -
Mapping nonlinear receptive field structure in primate retina at single cone resolution.
(eLife, 2015-10-30)The function of a neural circuit is shaped by the computations performed by its interneurons, which in many cases are not easily accessible to experimental investigation. Here, we elucidate the transformation of visual signals ... -
Neutralizing antibody vaccine for pandemic and pre-emergent coronaviruses.
(Nature, 2021-06)Betacoronaviruses caused the outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome, as well as the current pandemic of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)1-4. Vaccines that elicit protective ... -
SIV-induced terminally differentiated adaptive NK cells in lymph nodes associated with enhanced MHC-E restricted activity.
(Nature communications, 2021-02-24)Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical understudied role during HIV infection in tissues. In a natural host of SIV, the African green monkey (AGM), NK cells mediate a strong control of SIVagm infection in secondary lymphoid ... -
Stimulus dependence of local field potential spectra: experiment versus theory.
(The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2014-10)The local field potential (LFP) captures different neural processes, including integrative synaptic dynamics that cannot be observed by measuring only the spiking activity of small populations. Therefore, investigating how ... -
Thyroid hormone fluctuations indicate a thermoregulatory function in both a tropical (Alouatta palliata) and seasonally cold-habitat (Macaca fuscata) primate.
(Am J Primatol, 2017-11)Thyroid hormones boost animals' basal metabolic rate and represent an important thermoregulatory pathway for mammals that face cold temperatures. Whereas the cold thermal pressures experienced by primates in seasonal habitats ... -
Tissue type-specific expression of the dsRNA-binding protein 76 and genome-wide elucidation of its target mRNAs.
(PLoS One, 2010-07-23)BACKGROUND: RNA-binding proteins accompany all steps in the life of mRNAs and provide dynamic gene regulatory functions for rapid adjustment to changing extra- or intracellular conditions. The association of RNA-binding ... -
Understanding the relationships between spike rate and delta/gamma frequency bands of LFPs and EEGs using a local cortical network model.
(NeuroImage, 2010-09)Despite the widespread use of EEGs to measure the large-scale dynamics of the human brain, little is known on how the dynamics of EEGs relates to that of the underlying spike rates of cortical neurons. However, progress ...
