J. Paul Taylor, MD, PhD, Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Chair, Department of Cell and Molecular Biology Edward F. Barry Endowed Chair of Cell and Molecular Biology, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN Eukaryotic cells partition their contents into numerous specialized structures termed organelles that create microenvironments to facilitate specific functions. Membrane-less organelles such as ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules differ from classical membranedelimited...

The persistence of drug craving, even after long periods of abstinence, presents a major challenge when providing treatment for drug addiction. Craving is often triggered by cues or contexts previously associated with drug use. Surprisingly, such cue-induced craving progressively intensifies (incubates) over the first weeks of forced abstinence and withdrawal, and then remains high for...

White matter pathways provide the backbone for transmission of electrical signals between disparate brain regions, allowing communication and coordination for proper cognitive, physical and behavioral functioning of the individual. The area of connectomics, i.e. measurement and analysis of the structural (white matter) and functional (activation...

Typically developing individuals exhibit broad heterogeneity in cognitive, social and emotional behaviors. While neuroscientists are still struggling with understanding the mechanisms that underlie this heterogeneity, the field now has recognized that individual differences even between two individuals with...
