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.

Chromatin-based Reprogramming of Courtship Regulators With Social Experience
(2021)Organisms are presented with a wide variety of environmental stimuli and must interpret and respond to these cues in to perform a wide variety of behaviors, such as foraging, mating, fleeing, and fighting. The ability of ... -
Forebrain Acetylcholine in Action: Dynamic Activities and Modulation on Target Areas
(2009)Forebrain cholinergic projection systems innervate the entire cortex and hippocampus. These cholinergic systems are involved in a wide range of cognitive and behavioral functions, including learning and memory, attention, ... -
Function of Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Class III in the Nervous System
(2010)Neurons, with their enormous membrane contents, depend heavily on regulated membrane trafficking processes to maintain their morphology and function. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase class III, or PIK3C3, plays a critical ... -
Learning and Retrieval of Sequential Activity Using Temporally Asymmetric Hebbian Learning Rules
(2021)Sequential activity in brain networks has been observed across multiple species, neural structures, and behavioral contexts. This activity consists of groups of neurons that are active at different times in a reproducible ... -
Mechanisms of Glial Development in C. elegans
(2021)Glia make up roughly half of all cells in the mammalian nervous system and play a major part in nervous system development, function and disease. Although research in the past few decades have shed light on their morphological ... -
Oculomotor Influence on the Mechanics of Hearing: Eye Movement-Related Eardrum Oscillations and Their Potential Role in Audio-Visual Spatial Integration
(2020)After every eye movement, the brain must realign the visual and auditory reference frames in order to co-locate sights and sounds. Exactly where, when, and how such visual-auditory spatial integrations occur is not fully ... -
Region-specific Mechanisms of Estrogen and Age on Neuronal Ensemble Activity During Spatial Navigation
(2010)Estradiol modulates the use of spatial navigation strategies in female rats. The presence of circulating estradiol enhances learning on tasks that require the use of a hippocampus-dependent place strategy and impairs learning ... -
Relating Traits to Electrophysiology using Factor Models
(2020)Targeted stimulation of the brain has the potential to treat mental illnesses. The objective of this work is to develop methodology that enables scientists to design stimulation methods based on the electrophysiological ... -
Retinal Ganglion Cell Population Codes From Starlight to Sunlight
(2020)The retina signals visual information to the brain with the parallel channels of different retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types, whose signals ultimately lead to visual perception. Between cloudy nights and sunny days, the ... -
Spatiotemporal Kinetics of AMPAR Trafficking in Single Spines
(2010)Learning and memory is one of the critical components of the human experience. In one model of memory, hippocampal LTP, it is believed that the trafficking of AMPA receptors to the synapse is a fundamental process, yet ... -
The Neurophysiology of Social Decision Making
(2010)The ultimate goal of the nervous systems of all animals is conceptually simple: Manipulate the external environment to maximize one's own survival and reproduction. The myriad means animals employ in pursuit of this goal ...
