Sleep Biology: Tuning In While Tuned Out
The barrel cortex and whisker thalamus preferentially respond to whisker movements during REM sleep in infant rats. Understanding why the brain tunes into sensory signals while it's tuned out in sleep may provide clues about the functions of REM sleep.
متن کاملRetrograde Tuning of Tuning
One way to localize sounds is to measure differences in sound intensity at the two ears. This comparison is made in the lateral superior olive, where signals from both ears converge. Magnusson et al. in this issue of Neuron show that dendritic GABA release can regulate this comparison, which may allow animals localizing sounds to adapt to listening conditions.
متن کاملTuning Out the Noise: Limbic-Auditory Interactions in Tinnitus
Tinnitus, the most common auditory disorder, affects about 40 million people in the United States alone, and its incidence is rising due to an aging population and increasing noise exposure. Although several approaches for the alleviation of tinnitus exist, there is as of yet no cure. The present article proposes a testable model for tinnitus that is grounded in recent findings from human imagi...
متن کاملThe MSSM fine tuning problem: a way out
As is well known, electroweak breaking in the MSSM requires substantial finetuning, mainly due to the smallness of the tree-level Higgs quartic coupling, λtree. Hence the fine tuning is efficiently reduced in supersymmetric models with larger λtree, as happens naturally when the breaking of SUSY occurs at a low scale (not far from the TeV). We show, in general and with specific examples, that a...
متن کاملSlugging It out: Fine Tuning the p53-PUMA Death Connection
In response to DNA damage, the tumor suppressor p53 elicits a complex cellular response. In this issue of Cell, Wu et al. (2005) show that the transcription factor SLUG is induced by p53 and protects hematopoietic progenitor cells from apoptosis triggered by DNA damage. SLUG exerts this protective role by repressing Puma, a proapoptotic target of p53. PUMA is also a key coordinator of apoptosis...
