Pumping the brakes on RNA velocity – understanding and interpreting RNA velocity estimates

Kavli Affiliate: Loyal Goff | Authors: Shijie C. Zheng, Genevieve Stein-O’Brien, Leandros Boukas, Loyal A Goff and Kasper D Hansen | Summary: RNA velocity analysis of single cells promises to predict temporal dynamics from gene expression. Indeed, in many systems, it has been observed that RNA velocity produces a vector field that qualitatively reflects known […]

Targeted cortical stimulation reveals principles of cortical contextual interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Shen Wang, Agostina Palmigiano, Kenneth D Miller and Stephen David Van Hooser | Summary: Cross-orientation suppression is a classic form of contextual normalization in visual cortex, yet the degree to which cortical circuits participate in the normalization computation is unclear. We visualized orientation maps of individual ferrets, and provided […]
