  • A second photoactivatable state of the anion-conducting channelrhodopsin GtACR1 empowers persistent activity

    A second photoactivatable state of the anion-conducting channelrhodopsin GtACR1 empowers persistent activity

    GtACR1 variant Q46E

    To gain insights into the functional differences between CrChR2 and GtACR1, we compared the existing X-ray structures57,58 of the central constriction sites, which represent the functional cores of…

  • Long-range enhancers rely on LHX motifs

    In mammals, some enhancers are capable of regulating target genes that are located a megabase away. However, the DNA sequences or chromatin features that permit this long-range activity are still elusive. In a truly remarkable study, Evgeny Kvon…

  • Entorhinal cortex layer III Adgrl2 expression controls topographical circuit connectivity required for sequence learning

    Entorhinal cortex layer III Adgrl2 expression controls topographical circuit connectivity required for sequence learning

    Topographically positioned MEC neurons have distinct axonal projection patterns

    In addition to the Adgrl2 topographical expression profile that is observed in the MEC, Adgrl2 expression is confined to select neurons in superficial II/III layers [
