Fluid homeostasis is a vital function that regulates the balance between water and sodium. When this balance shifts in one direction, the brain detects the changes and triggers appetite to drive water or sodium intake for compensation. Defining the neural logic of these processes is critical for understanding brain function underlying normal and abnormal appetite. Our goal is to understand how the brain processes internal state information and peripheral signals to regulate goal-oriented...

Richard Youle Ph.D. Surgical Neurology Branch, NINDS, NIH, Bethesda, MD USA PINK1 and Parkin, both mutated in familial PD, normally work intimately together to initiate autophagy of impaired mitochondria. When mitochondria are damaged, Pink1 senses the damage and accumulates specifically on the outer membrane of damaged mitochondria where it phosphorylates ubiquitin chains. These phosphorylated ubiquitin chains on the outer mitochondrial membrane bind to cytosolic Parkin and activate Parkin’s...

Jie Shen Ph.D., Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School The major research interests of the Shen laboratory focus on elucidation of the pathogenic mechanisms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Specifically, a multidisciplinary approach is employed to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying pathologic degeneration of specific neuronal populations. 1) Xia et al. Presenilin-1 knockin mice reveal loss-of-function mechanism for familial Alzheimer’s disease. Neuron...
