The 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein (Hsc73) gene is enhanced by ovarian hormones in the ventromedial hypothalamus.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1999-02-16)
Estrogen (E) and progesterone (P) orchestrate many cellular responses involved in
female reproductive physiology, including reproductive behaviors. E- and P-binding
neurons important for lordosis behavior have been located ...
Evolutionary genomics and adaptive evolution of the Hedgehog gene family (Shh, Ihh and Dhh) in vertebrates.
(PLoS One, 2014)
The Hedgehog (Hh) gene family codes for a class of secreted proteins composed of two
active domains that act as signalling molecules during embryo development, namely
for the development of the nervous and skeletal systems ...
A framework for integrating the songbird brain.
(J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol, 2002-12)
Biological systems by default involve complex components with complex relationships.
To decipher how biological systems work, we assume that one needs to integrate information
over multiple levels of complexity. The songbird ...
Analysis of the mouse transcriptome for genes involved in the function of the nervous system.
(Genome Res, 2003-06)
We analyzed the mouse Representative Transcript and Protein Set for molecules involved
in brain function. We found full-length cDNAs of many known brain genes and discovered
new members of known brain gene families, including ...
Composition and topographic organization of signals sent from the frontal eye field to the superior colliculus.
(J Neurophysiol, 2000-04)
The frontal eye field (FEF) and superior colliculus (SC) contribute to saccadic eye
movement generation, and much of the FEF's oculomotor influence may be mediated through
the SC. The present study examined the composition ...
Diet-induced obesity differentially regulates behavioral, biomechanical, and molecular risk factors for osteoarthritis in mice.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2010)
INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis
in both weight-bearing and nonweight-bearing joints. The mechanisms by which obesity
influences the structural or symptomatic features of ...
A screw microdrive for adjustable chronic unit recording in monkeys.
(J Neurosci Methods, 1998-06-01)
A screw microdrive is described that attaches to the grid system used for recording
single neurons from brains of awake behaving monkeys. Multiple screwdrives can be
mounted on a grid over a single cranial opening. This ...
Exploring the role of the substantia nigra pars reticulata in eye movements.
(Neuroscience, 2011-12-15)
Experiments that demonstrated a role for the substantia nigra in eye movements have
played an important role in our understanding of the function of the basal ganglia
in behavior more broadly. In this review we explore more ...
Shifting attention to neurons.
(Trends Cogn Sci, 2010-09)
For whom the bird sings: context-dependent gene expression.
(Neuron, 1998-10)
Male zebra finches display two song behaviors: directed and undirected singing. The
two differ little in the vocalizations produced but greatly in how song is delivered.
"Directed" song is usually accompanied by a courtship ...
