Do conversational hand gestures communicate?
In 5 experiments, male and female undergraduates viewed gestures and tried to select the words that originally accompanied them; read interpretations of gestures' meanings and tried to select the… Expand

Drug induced weight gain, an impediment to successful pharmacotherapy: focus on antipsychotics.
The antipsychotic drugs (APDs) are fundamental tools in current psychiatric practice. A new generation of agents, the atypical APDs, represents an important progress in the treatment of psychotic… Expand

Red-Shifted Aequorin-Based Bioluminescent Reporters for in Vivo Imaging of Ca2+ Signaling
Real-time visualization of calcium (Ca2+) dynamics in the whole animal will enable important advances in understanding the complexities of cellular function. The genetically encoded bioluminescent… Expand

Non-Invasive In Vivo Imaging of Calcium Signaling in Mice
Rapid and transient elevations of Ca2+ within cellular microdomains play a critical role in the regulation of many signal transduction pathways. Described here is a genetic approach for non-invasive… Expand

Selective Depletion of Clear Synaptic Vesicles and Enhanced Quantal Transmitter Release at Frog Motor Nerve Endings Produced by Trachynilysin, a Protein Toxin Isolated from Stonefish (Synanceia…
Our previous observation that low concentrations of stonefish (Synanceia trachynis) venom elicit spontaneous quantal acetylcholine release from vertebrate motor nerve terminals prompted our present… Expand

Internalization of a GFP-tetanus toxin C-terminal fragment fusion protein at mature mouse neuromuscular junctions
The distribution, dynamics, internalization, and retrograde axonal traffic of a fusion protein composed of green fluorescent protein (GFP)and the atoxic C-terminal fragment of tetanus toxin (TTC)… Expand

Vesicle size and transmitter release at the frog neuromuscular junction when quantal acetylcholine content is increased or decreased
We investigated whether the synaptic vesicles at the neuromuscular junction change size when their acetylcholine (ACh) content is altered. The size of the miniature endplate potential (MEPP)… Expand

Schwann Cells Sense and Control Acetylcholine Spillover at the Neuromuscular Junction by α7 Nicotinic Receptors and Butyrylcholinesterase
Terminal Schwann cells (TSCs) are key components of the mammalian neuromuscular junction (NMJ). How the TSCs sense the synaptic activity in physiological conditions remains unclear. We have taken… Expand

Nuclear inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors regulate local Ca2+ transients and modulate cAMP response element binding protein phosphorylation
Several lines of evidence indicate that increases in nuclear Ca2+ have specific biological effects that differ from those of cytosolic Ca2+, suggesting that they occur independently. The mechanisms… Expand

Sustained synaptic-vesicle recycling by bulk endocytosis contributes to the maintenance of high-rate neurotransmitter release stimulated by glycerotoxin
Glycerotoxin (GLTx), a large neurotoxin isolated from the venom of the sea worm Glycera convoluta, promotes a long-lasting increase in spontaneous neurotransmitter release at the peripheral and… Expand
