Birds brains reveal source of songs

...t way," Fee says of his research with postdoctoral fellow Bence P. Ölveczky and graduate student Aaron Andalman. "We said, this young bird is being creative, exploring many different sounds through trial and error. We hypothesized that the AFP is the source of this creativity, generating the variations, rat...

Same-Sex Mating Discovered in a Toxic Fungus

...ing type, said study lead author and post-doctoral fellow Xiaorong Lin, Ph.D., also of Duke. "Organisms, including fungi, usually exist in an approximately one-to-one sex ratio," Lin said. "Yet in Cryptococcus neoformans, one mating type predominates, leaving them with apparently few chances to mate. It's ...

One gene links newborn neurons with those that die in diseases such as Alzheimer's

...t author Anthony Lombardino, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in Nottebohm's laboratory. The gene is known to be highly expressed throughout the brain, and in fact, the UCHL1 protein is thought to make up as much as 2 percent of total soluble brain protein. But in the zebra finch brains, nonreplaceable neurons ...

Gladstone investigators discover how resting T cells avoid HIV infection

...searchers, led by Ya-Lin Chiu, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the Greene lab, investigated why resting, nondividing CD4 T cells are impervious to HIV infection, while activated, dividing CD4 T cells are not. The team discovered that a potent antiviral factor called APOBEC3G (A3G) is the key. The team, worki...

Logothetis of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to monitor cortical activity for seven and one-half months after ...

Gene keeps neural cells on correct developmental path

...Led by HHMI associate Nurit Ballas, a postdoctoral fellow in Mandel's lab, the study may advance stem cell research aimed at understanding repairing spinal cord injuries or replacing malfunctioning brain cells in neurodegenerative diseases. It may also provide insights into other diseases, such as small cel...
