Kavli Affiliate: Leslie B. Vosshall | Authors: Leah Houri-Zeevi, Madison M. Walker, Jacopo Razzauti, Anurag Sharma, H. Amalia Pasolli and Leslie B. Vosshall | Summary: Female mosquitoes typically mate once in a lifetime, making this singular mating decision critically important for the female. Yet, mosquito mating has been historically viewed as male-guided, with the female […]
Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles | Authors: Anuththara Rupasinghe, Adam S Charles and Jonathan W Pillow | Summary: Neural variability poses a major challenge to understanding the information content of neural codes. Recent work by Goris et al. (Nat. Neurosci 2014) has provided new insights into variability in the visual pathway by partitioning it into […]

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Kurt Weir, Pin Lyu, Sangeetha Kandoi, Roujin An, Nicole Pannullo, Isabella Palazzo, Jared Tangeman, Jun Shi, Steven DeVries, Dana Merriman, Jiang Qian and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: Evolutionary adaptation to diurnal vision in ground squirrels has led to the development of a cone-dominant retina, in stark contrast to the […]
Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Rohan S Roy and A. J. Hudspeth | Summary: Peripheral nerve regeneration requires precise selection of the appropriate targets of innervation, often in an environment that differs from that during the developmental wiring of the neural circuit. Severed axons of the zebrafish posterior lateral line nerve have the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Darcy Peterka | Authors: Amir Lawen, Isabella K Succi, Daniela Lichtman, Darcy S Peterka, Ishmail J Abdus-Saboor and Itamar Kahn | Summary: Dopaminergic signaling in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is central to reward-based learning, but its relationship to brain-wide hemodynamics remains unclear. Using concurrent fMRI and dopamine photometry in awake, behaving mice, we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Lucas Y Tian, Kedar U Garzón, Adam G Rouse, Mark AG Eldridge, Marc H Schieber, Xiao-Jing Wang, Joshua B Tenenbaum and Winrich A Freiwald | Summary: At the core of intelligence is proficiency in solving new problems, including those that differ dramatically from problems seen before. Problem-solving, in turn, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Sritej Padmanabhan, Reza S Shadmehr, Roberta Klatzky and Jonathan S Tsay | Summary: Implicit sensorimotor adaptation—the automatic correction of movement errors through feedback and practice—is driven by a perceptual prediction error, the mismatch between the perceived movement outcome and its intended goal. While perceptual uncertainty is known to attenuate […]
