Genomic Introgression Between Critically Endangered and Stable Species of Darwin's Tree Finches on the Galapagos Islands by Rachael Y. Dudaniec, Sonu Yadav, Julian Catchen, Sonia Kleindorfer

“…Alleles were annotated to genes associated with inflammation, immunity, brain function and development. We provide evidence that introgression among a critically endangered and stable species of Darwin's tree finch across years may aid in the retention of adaptive alleles and genetic diversity in birds threatened with extinction.…”

Dendritic excitations govern back-propagation via a spike-rate accelerometer by Pojeong Park, J. David Wong-Campos, Daniel G. Itkis, Byung Hun Lee, Yitong Qi, Hunter C. Davis, Benjamin Antin, Amol Pasarkar, Jonathan B. Grimm, Sarah E. Plutkis, Katie L. Holland, Liam Paninski, Luke D. Lavis, Adam E. Cohen

“…We mapped sub-millisecond voltage dynamics throughout the dendritic trees of CA1 pyramidal neurons under diverse optogenetic and synaptic stimulus patterns, in acute brain slices. Our data show history-dependent spike back-propagation in distal dendrites, driven by locally generated Na+ spikes (dSpikes). …”
