Prey capture learning drives critical period-specific plasticity in mouse binocular visual cortex

Diane Bissen, Brian A. Cary, Amanda Zhang, Wei Wen, Kurt A. Sailor, Stephen D. Van Hooser, Gina G. Turrigiano

This study shows that prey capture learning during the critical period in mice enhances visual function through structural plasticity, including increased excitatory connectivity and spine turnover, which is absent in adults.

Binding dynamics shape germinal center broadly neutralizing responses to HIV priming

Jinsong Zhang, Jim Sindayen, Miyo Ota, Kara M. Anasti, Zbigniew Mikulski, Angel Gandarilla, Takayuki Ota, Daniel C. Ramirez, Amanda Zhang, S. Munir Alam, Marilyn Diaz, Laurent K. Verkoczy

This study identifies binding dynamics as a key factor in enhancing germinal center responses to HIV immunogens, improving the efficiency of somatic hypermutation and bnAb precursor activation.
