The intellectual disability gene Kirrel3 regulates target-specific mossy fiber synapse development in the hippocampus.
E. Anne Martin,Shruti Muralidhar,Zhirong Wang,Diégo Cordero Cervantes,Raunak Basu,Matthew R. Taylor,Jennifer Hunter,Tyler Cutforth,Scott A. Wilke,Anirvan Ghosh,Megan E. Williams +10 more
TL;DR: Kirrel3 regulates target-specific synapse formation at hippocampal mossy fiber (MF) synapses, which connect dentate granule (DG) neurons to both CA3 and GABAergic neurons, and is required for formation of MF filopodia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The classic cadherins in synaptic specificity
TL;DR: Past and present studies implicating cadherins as active participants in the formation, function, and dysfunction of specific neural circuits are reviewed and some of the major remaining questions are posed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterophilic Type II Cadherins Are Required for High-Magnitude Synaptic Potentiation in the Hippocampus
Raunak Basu,Xin Duan,Xin Duan,Matthew R. Taylor,E. Anne Martin,Shruti Muralidhar,Yueqi Wang,Luke Gangi-Wellman,S. Das,Masahito Yamagata,Peter J. West,Joshua R. Sanes,Megan E. Williams +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that SO synapses normally have significantly more mushroom spines and higher-magnitude long-term potentiation (LTP) than SR synapses, and it is discovered that these differences require the Type II classic cadherins, cadherin-6, -9, and -10 to regulate mushroom spine density and high-Magnitude LTP in the SO layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The orbitofrontal cortex maps future navigational goals
Raunak Basu,Robert Gebauer,Tim Herfurth,Simon Kolb,Zahra Golipour,Tatjana Tchumatchenko,Tatjana Tchumatchenko,Hiroshi Ito +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe neurons in the rat orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) that form spatial representations persistently pointing to the subsequent goal destination of an animal throughout navigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entamoeba invadens: cloning and molecular characterization of chitinases
Tuli Dey,Raunak Basu,Sudip Ghosh +2 more
TL;DR: The enzyme chitinase which express specifically during encystation is characterized, using the reptilian parasite Entamoeba invadens as a model for ency Station study, to understand the substrate binding and cleavage pattern.
