Short circuiting the circadian system with a new generation of precision tools

Neuron
Dawn H LohC S Colwell

Abstract

Circadian behavior in mammals is coordinated by neurons within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). In this issue, Lee et al. (2015) and Mieda et al. (2015) applied state-of-the-art genetic tools to dissect the microcircuits within the SCN generating circadian rhythmic behavior.

Brain developing: Influences & Outcomes

This feed focuses on influences that affect the developing brain including genetics, fetal development, prenatal care, and gene-environment interactions. Here is the latest research in this field.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Cell-Type Specific Viral Vectors

Viral vectors are used in biological research and therapy to deliver genetic material into cells. However, the efficiency of viral vectors varies depending on the cell type. Here is the latest research on cell-type-specific viral vectors.
