Study finds key similarities between rodent and human satellite glial cells

May 20, 2022May 20, 2022
Human dorsal root ganglion stained for the neuronal marker TUJ1 (magenta) surrounded by satellite glial cells stained with FASN (green).

SGCs have been the subject of intense scrutiny for their involvement in inflammation, pain and nerve injury. The results confirm that rodents are a reliable model for translational research on these cells.

New study shows hierarchical and nonhierarchical network architectures between areas of mouse visual cortex

January 27, 2022February 10, 2022
Rostrocaudal series of coronal sections of the left hemisphere of mouse brain in which the anteromedial area was injected with antergrade tracer BDA.

The Burkhalter lab finds that areas are embedded within a hierarchical network in which image fragments from the retina are sent through bottom-up pathways to extract percepts, and top-down pathways from higher to lower areas provide prior knowledge for interpreting the visual scene.
