Journal ArticleDOI

Control of kinetic properties of AMPA receptor channels by nuclear RNA editing

TL;DR: Site-selective nuclear RNA editing controls the calcium permeability of AMPA receptor channels, and RNA editing at a second site is shown here to affect the kinetic aspects of these channels in rat brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain tumour cells interconnect to a functional and resistant network

TL;DR: It is shown that many tumour cells in astrocytomas extend ultra-long membrane protrusions, and use these distinct tumour microtubes as routes for brain invasion, proliferation, and to interconnect over long distances, which develops functional multicellular network structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genetically encoded ratiometric indicator for chloride: capturing chloride transients in cultured hippocampal neurons.

TL;DR: This genetically encoded indicator will permit new approaches ranging from high-throughput drug screening to direct recordings of synaptic Cl- signals in vivo, and suggest that [Cl-]i can signal the location of synaptic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maintaining accuracy at the expense of speed: Stimulus similarity defines odor discrimination time in mice

TL;DR: It is concluded that odor discrimination in mice is fast and stimulus dependent, and the underlying neuronal mechanisms act on a fast timescale, requiring only a brief epoch of odor-specific spatiotemporal representations to achieve rapid discrimination of dissimilar odors.
