MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF SHORT-TERM PLASTICITY: ROLE OF SYNAPSIN PHOSPHORYLATION IN AUGMENTATION AND POTENTIATION OF SPONTANEOUS GLUTAMATE RELEASE

Molecular Mechanisms of Short-Term Plasticity: Role of Synapsin Phosphorylation in Augmentation and Potentiation of Spontaneous Glutamate Release

We used genetic and pharmacological approaches to identify the signaling pathways involved in augmentation and potentiation, two forms of activity dependent, short-term synaptic plasticity that enhance neurotransmitter Contraceptives release.Trains of presynaptic action potentials produced a robust increase in the frequency of miniature excitatory

Comparative Genomics and Transcriptomics During Sexual Development Gives Insight Into the Life History of the Cosmopolitan Fungus Fusarium neocosmosporiellum

Fusarium neocosmosporiellum (formerly Neocosmospora vasinfecta) is a cosmopolitan fungus that has been reported from soil, herbivore dung, and as a fruit- and root-rot pathogen of numerous field crops, although it is not known to cause significant losses on any crop.Taking advantage of the fact that this species produces prolific numbers of perithe

Validation Study for an Atmospheric Dispersion Model, Using Effective Source Heights Determined from Wind Tunnel Experiments in Nuclear Safety Analysis

For more than fifty years, atmospheric dispersion predictions based on the joint use of a Gaussian plume model and wind tunnel experiments have been applied in both Japan and the U.K.for the evaluation of public radiation exposure in nuclear safety analysis.The effective source height used in the Gaussian model is determined from ground-level conce
