Mechanism of an Intrinsic Oscillation in Rat Geniculate Interneurons

The paper identifies the electrophysiological mechanism of intrinsic oscillations in rat geniculate interneurons through pharmacological and computational analyses.

Spatial organization of plant defense at the infection front

The paper shows plant immunity forms a spatially organized defense zone around infection sites, with distinct hormone responses in neighboring cells to contain pathogens.

Pan-genome analyses of 226 finger millet-infecting Magnaporthe oryzae strains from eastern Africa

This study analyzes 226 Magnaporthe oryzae strains infecting finger millet in eastern Africa, revealing genetic differentiation and effector gene variation linked to virulence.

cAMP-EPAC-PKCε-RIM1α signaling regulates presynaptic long-term potentiation and motor learning

This study identifies a novel cAMP-EPAC-PKCε-RIM1α signaling cascade that regulates presynaptic long-term potentiation and motor learning in the cerebellum.

GESIAP: A Versatile Genetically Encoded Sensor-based Image Analysis Program
