It takes guts to grow a brain: Increasing evidence of the important role of the intestinal microflora in neuro- and immune-modulatory functions during development and adulthood.
A new study entitled "Normal gut microbiota modulates brain development and behavior", published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, requires that we reconsider the notion that the brain is an immune-privileged site. The authors demonstrate that intestinal microbiota must be present within a set time-frame for normal synaptogenesis to occur in the brain. In the absence of in...

The vertebrate inner ear has time and again surprised neurobiologists by adding new wrinkles to known mechanisms of cellular signaling. among those surprises, was the discovery that nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (related to those that excite muscle) inhibit cochlear hair cells when acetylcholine (aCh) is released from efferent neurons. Inhibition occurs because calcium entering through the ...
متن کاملIt Takes T to Tango
Of three recently cloned T-type voltage-gated calcium channels, alpha(1g) is most likely responsible for burst firing in thalamic relay cells. These neurons burst during various thalamocortical oscillations including absence seizures. In this issue of Neuron, Kim et al. inactivated alpha(1g), and resultant mice were deficient in relay cell bursting and resistant to GABA(B) receptor-dependent ab...
