All living organisms have the innate need to interact with their environment in order to ensure their survival and reproductive success. Among vertebrates, the somatomotor system plays a critical role in responding to environmental challenges and opportunities by coordinating the movements of the body through the activation of its primary effector ...
Welcome to our UC Irvine Center for Neural Circuit Mapping (CNCM) 2022 conference on “Linking Brain function to Cell Types and Circuits” at the Beckman Center of the National Academies of Sciences & Engineering. This meeting follows the success of our first in-person 2021 Center conference “Relationship Between Transcriptomics and Connectomics”, jo...

Most organs and tissues are composed of many types of cells. To characterize cellular state, various transcription profiling approaches are currently available, including whole-tissue bulk RNA sequencing, single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq), and cell type-specific RNA sequencing. What is missing in this repertoire is a simple, versatile method f...
The healthy function of complex tissues is dependent on a complex combination of cell types properly working together to maintain homeostasis. Diseases or stressful conditions frequently alter the normal mix of cell types found in a healthy tissue, either directly or by eliciting an immune response. The cell type composition of these tissues is, th...

The retina in the eye performs complex computations, to transmit only behaviourally relevant information about our visual environment to the brain. These computations are implemented by numerous different cell types that form complex circuits. New experimental and computational methods make it possible to study the cellular diversity of the retina ...

The compositions of lipopolysaccharides from the photoheterotrophic budding Rhodomicrobium vannielii strains DSM 162, Rm5, E3 and 2/1 are reported. Common constituents of these lipopolysaccharides are glucose, mannose, glucosamine, glucuronic and galacturonic acids, 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate (KDO) and the fatty acids 3-OH-C16:0, 3-OH-C14:0, C14:0, Δ1...
