| 2 |  | Kelley, Darcy B.; Elliott, Taffeta M.; Evans, Ben J.; Evans, Ben J.; Hall, Ian C.; Rhodes, Heather J.; Yamaguchi, Ayako; Zornik, Erik | Probing forebrain to hindbrain circuit functions in Xenopus | The vertebrate hindbrain includes neural circuits that govern essential functions including breathing, blood pressure and heart rate. Hindbrain circuits also participate in generating rhythmic motor patterns for vocalization. In most tetrapods, sound production is powered by expiration and the circu... | fictive respiration; vocalization; pattern generation | 2016 |
| 3 |  | Yamaguchi, Ayako | Development of an acute method to deliver transgenes into the brains of adult Xenopus laevis | The central vocal pathway of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is a powerful vertebrate model to understand mechanisms underlying central pattern generation. However, fast and efficient methods of introducing exogenous genes into the neurons of adult X. laevis are currently not available. Her... | viral vector; vesicular stomatitis virus; Xenopus laevis; transgene; neurons; vocalizations; central pattern generator; electroporation | 2018 |
| 4 |  | Lawton, Kristy J. | Motor neurons tune premotor activity in a vertebrate central pattern generator | Central patterns generators (CPGs) are neural circuits that drive rhythmic motor output without sensory feedback. Vertebrate CPGs are generally believed to operate in a top-down manner in which premotor interneurons activate motor neurons that in turn drive muscles. In contrast, the frog (Xenopus la... | CPG; feed back; synchrony; vocal; vocalization; Xenopus | 2017 |
| 5 |  | Yamaguchi, Ayako | Coding rate and duration of vocalizations of the frog , Xenopus laevis | Vocalizations involve complex rhythmic motor patterns, but the underlying temporal coding mechanisms in the nervous system are poorly understood. Using a recently developed whole-brain preparation from which "fictive" vocalizations are readily elicited in vitro, we investigated the cellular basis of... | 2012-08-29 | |
| 6 |  | Fleming Aaron M. | Computational studies of electronic circular dichroism spectra predict absolute configuration assignments for the guanine oxidation product 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin | Oxidation of the guanine heterocycle by two electrons can yield the chiral product 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin (2Ih). The 2Ih free base enantiomers were synthesized from 2'-deoxyguanosine oxidized with a Cu(II)/H2O2 oxidant system followed by hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond.

| 7 |  | Cieri, Robert | New insight into the evolution of the vertebrate respiratory system and the discovery of unidirectional airflow in iguana lungs | The generally accepted framework for the evolution of a key feature of the avian respiratory system, unidirectional airflow, is that it is an adaptation for efficiency of gas exchange and expanded aerobic capacities, and therefore it has historically been viewed as important to the ability of birds ... | 2014-11-17 | |
| 8 |  | Capecchi, Mario R. | Modeling alveolar soft part sarcomagenesis in the mouse: a role for lactate in the tumor microenvironment | Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), a deadly soft tissue malignancy with a predilection for adolescents and young adults, associates consistently with t(X;17) translocations that generate the fusion gene ASPSCR1-TFE3.

| 20 |  | Sekercioglu, Cagan | Forest fragmentation hits insectivorous birds hard | Habitats around the world, especially in the tropics, are being fragmented at a rapid rate, causing a tremendous loss of biodiversity[1]. For example, 12% of the approximately 10,000 bird species are threatened with extinction in the next 10 to 100 years, and another 8% are near-threatened[2]. This ... | 2002-01-01 | |
