The Use of Antisense-Mediated Inhibition to Delineate The Role of Inflammatory Agents in The Pathophysiology of Spinal Cord Injury by Damien D. Pearse, Francisco C. Pereira, Katina Chatzipanteli, Francisco W. Dalton Dietrich, Mary Bartlett Bunge

“…Hybridization of the oligonucleotide to the mRNA then interferes with the normal processing of that mRNA at the ribosome or targets the RNA duplex for cleavage by the RNA digestive enzyme, ribonuclease H, resulting in greatly reduced expression of the coded protein. This effectively reduces the amount of corresponding translated protein product and experiments can be designed to examine the requirement of particular inflammatory agents in eliciting specific deleterious responses after injury, e.g., cell death.…”

Multi-level encoding of reward, effort, and choice across the frontal cortex and basal ganglia during cost-benefit decision-making by Oliver Härmson, Isaac Grennan, Brook Perry, Robert Toth, Colin G. McNamara, Timothy Denison, Hayriye Cagnan, Sanjay G. Manohar, Mark E. Walton, Andrew Sharott

“…Coactive cell assemblies, ensembles of neurons that repeatedly coactivated within short time windows (<25 ms), represented the same decision variables despite the members often having diverse individual coding properties. Together, these findings demonstrate a multi-level encoding structure for cost-benefit computations where individual neurons are coordinated into larger assemblies that can represent task variables independently of their constituent components.…”
