Genetically encoded fluorescent probes of neural activity represent new promising tools for
systems neuroscience. Here, we present a comparative in vivo analysis of 10 different …

We have leveraged the reference sequence of a boxer to construct the first complete linkage
map for the domestic dog. The new map improves access to the dog's unique biology, from …

At the Drosophila melanogaster larval neuromuscular junction (NMJ), a motor neuron releases
glutamate from 30–100 boutons onto the muscle it innervates. How transmission strength …

The optical voltage sensor FlaSh, made from a fusion of a GFP "reporter domain" and a
voltage-gated Shaker K + channel "detector domain," has been mutagenically tuned in both the …

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have been engineered to produce an optical report in response
to cellular signals. FP fluorescence can be made directly sensitive to the chemical …

The strength of synaptic transmission between a neuron and multiple postsynaptic partners
can vary considerably. We have studied synaptic heterogeneity using the glutamatergic …

Although researchers have argued that textbooks should be customized to local cultures
and experiences, they rarely are. Ciencia Puerto Rico, a non-profit group interested in …

<p>In this Community Page, we learn how a scientific community leverages social networking
tools to connect a group of dispersed scientific researchers in Ciencia Puerto Rico; this …

Gender stereotypes and lack of access to relatable role models, mentors, and STEM
opportunities have been suggested to deter middle school girls and students from …

Activity-dependent changes in the potency of synaptic transmission are thought to refine the
connectivity of neuronal circuits during development and memory formation. The relative …
