Neuronal activity is critical for adaptive circuit remodeling but poses an inherent risk to the stability of the genome across the long lifespan of post-mitotic neurons1-5. Whether neurons have acquired specialized genome protection mechanisms that enable them to withstand decades of potentially dam...

We performed a DNA microarray experiment to identify activity-regulated genes that are misregulated in the absence of Npas4. Experiment Overall Design: We infected mouse hippocampal neurons with lentivirus expressing Npas4-RNAi or control-RNAi @ 3 DIV and depolarized the neurons @ 8 DIV with 50 mM o...
To identify the activity-induced gene expression programs in inhibitory and excitatory neurons, we analyzed RNA extracted from cultured E14 mouse MGE- and CTX-derived neurons (DIV 10) after these cultures were membrane-depolarized for 0, 1 and 6 hrs with 55mM extracellular KCl. To identify the gene ...
