Conjunctive vector coding and place coding in hippocampus share a common directional signal

Posted by klaurent Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: James Knierim | Authors: Yue-Qing Zhou, Vyash Puliyadi, Xiaojing Chen, Joonhee Leo Lee, Lan-Yuan Zhang and James J Knierim | Summary: Vector coding is becoming increasingly understood as a major mechanism by which neural systems represent an animal’s location in both a global reference frame and a local, item-based reference frame. Landmark vector […]

Effects of local incompressibility on the rheology of composite biopolymer networks

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Gijsje Koenderink | Summary:Fibrous networks such as collagen are common in biological systems. Recent theoretical and experimental efforts have shed light on the mechanics of single component networks. Most real biopolymer networks, however, are composites made of elements with different rigidity. For instance, the extracellular matrix in mammalian tissues consists of stiff collagen […]
