Serotonin Inhibition of Claustrum Projection Neurons: Ionic Mechanism, Receptor Subtypes and Consequences for Claustrum Computation

The claustrum is a small but densely interconnected brain structure that is innervated by axons containing serotonin (5-HT), a neuromodulator that has been implicated in control of sleep and in the actions of copyright drugs.However, little is known about how 5-HT influences the claustrum.We have combined whole-cell patch-clamp measurements of ioni

Selective sweeps on different pigmentation genes mediate convergent evolution of island melanism in two incipient bird species

Insular organisms often evolve predictable phenotypes, like flightlessness, extreme body sizes, or increased melanin deposition.The evolutionary forces and molecular targets mediating these patterns remain mostly unknown.Here we study the Chestnut-bellied Monarch (Monarcha castaneiventris) from the Solomon Islands, a complex of closely related subs
