    Switching on and off fear by distinct neuronal circuits (2008)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-07-11
    Description: Switching between exploratory and defensive behaviour is fundamental to survival of many animals, but how this transition is achieved by specific neuronal circuits is not known. Here, using the converse behavioural states of fear extinction and its context-dependent renewal as a model in mice, we show that bi-directional transitions between states of high and low fear are triggered by a rapid switch in the balance of activity between two distinct populations of basal amygdala neurons. These two populations are integrated into discrete neuronal circuits differentially connected with the hippocampus and the medial prefrontal cortex. Targeted and reversible neuronal inactivation of the basal amygdala prevents behavioural changes without affecting memory or expression of behaviour. Our findings indicate that switching between distinct behavioural states can be triggered by selective activation of specific neuronal circuits integrating sensory and contextual information. These observations provide a new framework for understanding context-dependent changes of fear behaviour.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Herry, Cyril -- Ciocchi, Stephane -- Senn, Verena -- Demmou, Lynda -- Muller, Christian -- Luthi, Andreas -- England -- Nature. 2008 Jul 31;454(7204):600-6. doi: 10.1038/nature07166.

    Single spin detection of labels in a lipid bilayer [Applied Physical Sciences] (2013)
    National Academy of Sciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-07-03
    Description: Magnetic field fluctuations arising from fundamental spins are ubiquitous in nanoscale biology, and are a rich source of information about the processes that generate them. However, the ability to detect the few spins involved without averaging over large ensembles has remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate the detection of gadolinium spin...

    Introgression of exotic Cervus (nippon and canadensis) into red deer (Cervus elaphus) populations in Scotland and the English Lake District (2018)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-01-24
    Description: Since the mid-19th century, multiple introductions of Japanese sika deer ( Cervus nippon nippon ) and North American wapiti ( C. canadensis ) have taken place in the British Isles. While wapiti have generally been unsuccessful, sika have been very successful, especially in Scotland where they now overlap at least 40% of the range of native red deer ( C. elaphus ). Hybridization between these two species and red deer has been demonstrated in captivity and in the wild. Using a panel of 22 microsatellite loci that are highly diagnostic between red deer and sika, and moderately diagnostic between red deer and wapiti, we investigated the extent of introgression between these species in 2,943 deer sampled from around Scotland and from the English Lake District using the Bayesian clustering software STRUCTURE. We also used a diagnostic mitochondrial marker for red deer and sika. Our survey extends previous studies indicating little introgression of wapiti nuclear alleles into red deer, in particular in Northern Scotland, Kintyre, and the Lake District. We found a new area of extensive sika introgression in South Kintyre. In the North Highlands, we show for the first time geographically scattered evidence of past hybridization followed by extensive backcrossing, including one red-like individual with sika introgression, two sika-like individuals with red deer introgression, and six individuals that were apparently pure sika at the nuclear markers assessed but which carried red deer mitochondria. However, there has not been a collapse of assortative mating in this region. Similarly, in the English Lake District red deer, we found only traces of past sika introgression. No sika alleles were detected in the Central Highlands or the Hebridean red deer refugia. We make suggestions for management to prevent further spread of sika alleles into red deer and vice versa . We investigated the extent of introgression from introduced North American wapiti and Japanese sika into native red deer in 2,943 deer sampled from around Scotland and from the English Lake District. Wapiti introgression was very minor, but sika admixture was severe in two areas of Kintyre, Argyll, and in the North Highlands, there is a signature of past hybridization followed by extensive backcrossing to sika.
