متن کاملSpiral waves in disinhibited mammalian neocortex.
Spiral waves are a basic feature of excitable systems. Although such waves have been observed in a variety of biological systems, they have not been observed in the mammalian cortex during neuronal activity. Here, we report stable rotating spiral waves in rat neocortical slices visualized by voltage-sensitive dye imaging. Tissue from the occipital cortex (visual) was sectioned parallel to corti...
متن کاملMaking waves
Each transcriptional wave from a yeast cell cycle promoter lasts 20–25 min; so stringing together 3 or 4 of them should allow the construction of a simple 90-min cell cycle. But, says van Oudenaarden, " if you didn't optimize the system, the cell cycle waves get washed out very easily. Within a quarter or a third of a 90-minute cycle, the waves are almost completely gone. " Rather than investig...
متن کاملActivity-dependent ATP-waves in the mouse neocortex are independent from astrocytic calcium waves.
In the corpus callosum, astrocytic calcium waves propagate via a mechanism involving ATP-release but not gap junctional coupling. In the present study, we report for the neocortex that calcium wave propagation depends on functional astrocytic gap junctions but is still accompanied by ATP-release. In acute slices obtained from the neocortex of mice deficient for astrocytic expression of connexin...
متن کاملCell Migration: Making the Waves
Coordinated changes of cell shape are often the result of the excitable, wave-like dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton. New work shows that, in migrating cells, protrusion waves arise from mechanochemical crosstalk between adhesion sites, membrane tension and the actin protrusive machinery.
