- Description:
- Basal ganglia are a highly interconnected group of nuclei involved in motor control. The external globus pallidus (GPe) is a critical node within the basal ganglia circuit. While the prevailing basal ganglia circuit model assumes the GPe as merely a relay, phasic changes in the activity of GPe neurons during...

- Description:
- Deciphering the targets of axonal projections plays a pivotal role in interpreting neuronal function and pathology. Neuronal tracers are indispensable neurobiology tools for elucidating advanced functions and interactions between different subregions of the brain. Commercially available neuronal tracers include small molecule dyes, viruses, and synthetic nanoparticles. Among these options, viral...

- Description:
- Multiteam systems (MTSs), or teams of teams, have recently become a standard for collaboration—ranging from traditional office teams to those setting a course for Mars. Although leadership is often identified as a critical lever for effective MTS functioning and success, there is little research to inform the question of how...

- Description:
- Interpersonal hierarchies are one of the most fundamental structures by which human interactions are organized (Yu & Kilduff, 2019), and dual-strategies theory suggests that humans navigate these hierarchies through the use of dominance (force and coercion) or prestige (display of valued traits to gain respect; Maner & Case, 2016). In...

- A variety of human diseases and pregnancy related disorders reflect endometrial dysfunction. However, rodent models do not share fundamental biological processes with the human endometrium, such as cyclic menstruation, and no existing human cell cultures recapitulate the cyclic interactions between endometrial stromal and epithelial compartments necessary for decidualization and implantation....
