Academic Year 2018-2019

Golowasch, J. (2019) Neuronal homeostasis: Voltage brings it all together. Current Biology (Dispatch), 29: R623–R646.  [Golowasch discusses the impact and context of a recent article published in Current Biology that suggests that the voltage across the neuronal membrane controls the coordinated mRNA expression that codes for multiple ion channel proteins in the cell.]

Golowasch, J. (2019) Neuromodulation of central pattern generators and its role in the functional recovery of CPG activity. J. Neurophysiol. https://www.physiology.org/doi/pdf/10.1152/jn.00784.2018. [Prof Golowasch reviews the field of neuromodulation by small molecules of the activity of rhythm generating neuronal networks and the recovery of normal activity when it is lost by injury and other insults.]

Tran, T., Unal, C.T., Zaborszky, L., Rotstein, H.G., Kirkwood, A. and Golowasch, J. (2019) Ionic current correlations are ubiquitous across phyla. Scientific Reports, 1687. www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-38405-6 [A team of colleagues from the NJIT Biology Department joined forces with collaborators from Rutgers University and Johns Hopkins University to test if the coordinated expression of ion channels observed in neurons from crabs and other invertebrates is also observed in mammals.  They did confirm this hypothesis and further found that this coordination of expression changes as a function of the circadian phase (time of day/night) of the animal.]
