Microsporidia are obligate intracellular pathogens that infect a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate hosts, including humans. In humans, microsporidia most often infect the gastrointestinal tract and cause diarrheal diseases, but in immunocompromised patients, infections can be fatal. Previous knowledge of microsporidian intracellular development was based on 2D transmission electron microscopy...

The Buzsáki Lab has shared designs for a 3D-printed metal microdrive and head cap system for freely-moving rodents and sample electrophysiological recordings. The modular design allows for recovery and reuse of silicon probes in multiple experiments with mice and Long-Evans rats. The .step files for the metal microdrive are optimized for stainless steel 316L in 20 micrometer resolution and aluminum...

Fighting is a major means to compete for limited resources in the wild. After the fight ends, the loser continuously avoids close interaction with the winner and readily flees when confronted. The neural mechanisms that underlie the rapid and long-lasting behavioral changes induced by defeat remains unclear. This study identified oxytocin neurons in the retrochiasmatic supraoptic nucleus and oxytocin-receptor-expressing...

The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Database was created by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) with funding from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Trust Fund to enable research with linkable SDOH-focused data derived from multiple sources and across multiple domains. Since the data is compiled from multiple sources, users are advised to consult the associated documentation...

Hippocampus plays a key role in navigation guided by environmental inputs. However, a critical aspect of navigation is a sequence of planned and coordinated actions. This study investigated the role of action in the neuronal organization of the hippocampus by training rats to jump a gap on a linear track. For this study, Long-Evans rats were used for recording local field potentials and ensembles of...

Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) change during metabolic stress and are thought to contribute to metabolic syndrome. This study examined ATM subpopulations in steady state and in response to nutritional and infectious challenges. They characterized the epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) lymphoid and myeloid cell populations under steady state using RNA sequencing to analyze the transcriptome of...

To investigate whether acute SARS‐CoV‐2 infection was associated with (1) amyloidogenic, aggregation‐prone forms of αSyn in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), (2) signature of pathogenic changes, and (3) future risk for frank synucleinopathy, the research team compared CSF biomarkers obtained through lumbar puncture for the evaluation of neurologic symptoms from 12 adult patients hospitalized at NYU Langone...

The Allen Mouse Brain Atlas is a three-dimensional atlas of gene expression throughout the adult mouse brain. The atlas is separated into four key features:In Situ Hybridization (ISH) Data includes image data with cellular level resolution. To find gene expression data, search can be performed using Gene Search, Differential Search, Fine Structure Search, Bulk Search, and Human Differential Search.Reference...

The Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) began in 2004 as longitudinal multicenter study to identify clinical, imaging, genetic, and biochemical biomarkers for the detection and tracking of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Participants are recruited from and followed at 59 research sites in the United States and Canada. ADNI1 enrolled 400 subjects who were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment...

The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing annual survey that publishes and collects data on the population of the United States. The survey is issued to approximately 3.5 million households per year. The ACS contains detailed questions assessing social, economic, demographic, and housing characteristics, including age, sex, race, family and relationships, income and benefits, health insurance,...
