Analysis of Tow-Placed, Variable-Stiffness Laminates
… to create laminae that have spatially varying fiber orientation with a tow placement machine. A laminate which is composed of such plies will have stiffness properties which vary as a function of position. Previous work had modelled such variable-stiffness laminae by taking a reference fiber …

Synaptic Protein Profiling in the Mammalian Brain
… two classes of synapses. First, we purified the parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse of the cerebellum. We identified ~60 post-synaptic proteins, including those involved in phospholipid metabolism and signaling, which are major unrecognized components of this synapse type. Second, we analyzed …

Optical Coherence Sensors in Multimode Fibers
Optical fiber sensors are widely applied in modern sensing systems. Taking advantage of the high sensitivity of optical interference, optical coherence fiber sensors, such as fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPIs), have been investigated intensively and utilized broadly …

Molecular Mechanisms of Presynaptic Plasticity and Function in the Mammalian Brain
… Syt7 is not localized to cerebellar climbing fibers (CFs). Wild-type (WT) and Syt7 knockout (KO) recordings at CF to Purkinje cell (CF-PC) synapses established that at near-physiological external calcium (Ca$_{ext}$) levels both genotypes displayed similar recovery from paired-pulse …

Characterizing Purkinje Cell Responses and Cerebellar Influence on Fluid Licking in the Mouse
… have been found primarily in the Purkinje cell/parallel fiber synapse and is thought to stabilize the connection. Although removal of the gene does not alter the numbers of neurons or their spatial relations, the mutation results in moderate to severe ataxia. While these animals also varied …
