Local translation couples synaptic activity to mitochondrial adaptation in dendrites

Kavli Affiliate: Robert B. Darnell | Authors: Madison T Jones, Natalie Noble, Robert B Darnell and Ezgi Hacisuleyman | Summary: Neurons rely on localized protein synthesis to rapidly adapt synaptic function to activity, yet how dendritic translation regulates mitochondrial remodeling during synaptic plasticity remains poorly understood. Here, we show that neuronal activity engages a spatially […]

TaskAnchor: Grounding Task State in Reactive VLAs for Long-Horizon Manipulation

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Reactive vision–language–action (VLA) models struggle with long-horizon manipulation when visually similar observations can correspond to different actions depending on the task stage or interaction history. We refer to this ambiguity as task-state aliasing and introduce TaskAnchor, a lightweight adapter that grounds pretrained VLAs in execution history. TaskAnchor combines history-conditioned visual refinement […]
